Harvey Wallbanger Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Fuck, I still haven't gotten to fix my landscape. so busy... Oh, and the glass is superfresh. I've been working with a lot of etch lately, which is nearly as fun as it is smelly and toxic and nerve racking to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ckit Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I read something about Mark Ryden once about he also prefers his work framed. Apparently he goes to great lengths to have it done too. He designs these really elaborate frames and has somebody hand carve them for him. See: http://www.outregallery.com/images/category/AngelofMeat.jpg and also there are a few good pictures of some of the frames on his website ... http://www.markryden.com In person, his frames fucking blow everyone away. I've seen two galleries of his so far, and on the second one (that wasn't solo), his frames alone were better than 90% of the other work shown. amazing to see the detail and the work that went into each one. In his solo show there was also the sketches that the frames were made from. really interesting to see it from conception to completion.

the.crooked Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I know poesia mentioned the thread, but I would love to hear some of yall's thoughts in my philosophy thread. I went and updated what I have currently been working on in school. I don't know if any of you dig on that stuff, but check it out if ya want. Crooked's metaphysical extravaganza go to the last post. It is a bit long, but hey, I think it is an interesting read. oh, and seeking- your landscape reminds me of an artist whose name I have been trying to remember all day. He was very well respected when he was young. He did a lot of sea scapes. They were all strong abstractions. Vibrant colors in amazing oil work. Anywho, I will continue to try and find the name. But yeah, it reminds me of his stuff. Useless till I find a visual comparison, but the hunt is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 one thing that interests me about my stuff, is that they never feel finished without frames on them. infact, i almost think they suck without frames. i dont know why a frame would make such a big difference, but to me they do. im kind of afraid that it's like in photography, where anything printed with a full frame border automatically looks better than a photo without one. maybe it's ridiculous to think so deeply about something so insignifigant, but when you're painting shit that is just a couple smears of color, every aspect factors in. perhaps it is that a frame denotes the piece as a whole. Unframed it is still a process to behold, you could continue to work on it if you wanted. Therefore you see the things you would like to change, the things that fail, etc. But when you see it framed, you see it as a whole. As something to examine separate from the process of creation beholden to it. For in its finality, you are just as open to interpreting the marks as we are. The frame allows you to step outside yourself as the producer of the work and take the same role as us as viewer of the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 wtf Yeah, I know. I have no idea where it came from either or why. But I was feeling the pressure and it just popped in my head. If you look at the shapes of the vehicles and the shapes within them there are some pretty cool pieces to work with. The end result ultimately shouldn't look much like a car or motorcycle at all. Well, at least mine won't... I hope. BTW... I freakin' love your landscape piece. Well worth the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 i just really dont even know where to begin on this one. i keep rereading you rules from it, and it's like it's greek or something. it gives me zero motivation, but heaps of confusion. ha. as an excercise though, i suppose that's exactly what we're looking for, so congrats on that. crooked, i think you're right about it bringing finality to a piece. since there is concrete 'image' going on, there is no 'proof' of it being finished, without a clear finale. the frame supplies that.

King Of Hell Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I've been looking at lots of these concept cars and the photos are usually awesome. They capture all these wiero glares and shapes. Im just going to find the most appealing area, crop it, and abstract it. also I think we should post the photo we used as reference along with the final project. Yes?

El Mamerro Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 This is awesome. I'm a liiiiittle disappointed that it looks so much like your other work, but I think it's because of the gesture on the middle on the left, those little flared streaks that start out wide and taper to a point which seem to recurr in your work. I think the painting would be stronger without it... given that it's a landscape painting, it reminds me a bit too much of those lakeside views where a little bit of land with trees on it creeps across the surface from one end and gets reflected in the lake surface below. Once I look at the awesome bottom, I see THAT's the landscape, and the little streak is more of a cloud/sky fluctuation, but the shape throws me off. Another thing is that for these kinds of paintings, I much prefer to see them frameless. There's something about the way these big areas of color wrap around corners on frameless canvasses that i really like. I'd love to see how that tiny bit of blue at the top looks without being interrupted by the bright wood of the frame, I think it'd make a much more interesting edge. This new Joker challenge sounds like something I can get into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 I plan on starting my abstract concept car tomorrow hopefully. Should be fun. I was actually going to get into concept car design when I was younger but went on other endeavors instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 thanks mams. obviously i'm pretty attached to my frames, but i totally agree that it fucks with the blue on this one. i plan to stain the wood and darken it up a bit. as soon as i saw jokers new assignment, i knew you'd be into it. stoked to see what you'll do.

Joker Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Uh, what are the two of you implying? Bitches... Yes, I forgot to mention that we should post the original photo along with the finished piece of work. Good post Witty! Don't make excuses... no need for that. Job well done. 2006... I'm not sure how you did the black line work in that one (spray glue cap?) but I really like the effect it gives with the depth of more paint overtop. Not really so much the drippy bits but just the thought of more layers of transparency over the black lines. Good post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jib you, but actually, that stuff was decent to draw to. It kind of takes your mind away from the monotany of the drawing enough to get it done.

Poesia [ ] T Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I hate my painting. I might piss on it and call it complete, i thought it would be a better excercise for me. But my impatience is my weakest link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkaline Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 i'm feeling the same way. my idea is there. i just can't seem to execute it the way i want though. it's frustrating, but i know that this is challenging me to think more intensely about my process, and that's comforting somehow. i guess we'll see how it turns out.
