Quite pleased, indeed, as you well should be.  I would be too if I drew nearly as charmingly as you!  Oh if those t-shirts ever happen, count me in!  I love your details; reminds me of a dear departed friend of mine who put lots of Morroccan-style into his drawings. (Sadly, lost him to prostate cancer about a year and a half ago, but I proudly hang his "Ships" on my living room wall and think of him fondly.)

Keep up the fantastic work, Face!

Face, the more I look at your work the more I like it.   There is something about this one that intrigues me.  I think that is my high school history teacher, Mr. Mathews.  Do you know him?
I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

you're right. I just looked back through this thread and Face's stuff gets better and better.

Any artistic updates from anyone else? Brad? Ali? etc....?
That's motherfuckin' John Oates!

Another excellent piece Face!
Do you put much thought into something like that before you start & do you just put pen to paper (it's ink right?) & go with the flow?
God will forgive them. He'll forgive them and allow them into Heaven.....I can't live with that.

it depends.  it's all just fountain pen.  but see, i'm trying to get to the point where i'm confident enough with just "going with the flow". a lot of the time i have to be under (some sort of) an influence when that happens, but they usually don't turn out too well.

i used to do a lot my stuff with pencil and then trace it over with ink.  but the biggest problem with that is im' a terrible perfectionist.  so i'd erase my pencil over and over and distract from what i was actually trying to get at.  i still sometimes use pencil, but i like the confidence that a pen provides...

tonight was just pen.  my biggest problem wtih my work is that it all sort of looks similar. i gotta branch out a little.  adapt a little. stretch it a little.  someday i will. i think i'm progressing.

anyway, sorry for hogging this thread. i had to put this one up ;-).

thanks, everyboddddy

Thanks for the detailed reply.

I keep meaning to take up painting again. I want to paint a picture of my parents house in Spain to give to them as a present but I just can't seem to get started...

Wow, fountain pen?  That's super cool.  Have you seen those disposable fountain pens? They stock them in the supply room at my work and I LOVE them, even though they don't love me back. They have good hand feel despite being a tosser. (Insert peanut gallery here.)

At you're age you'll progress lots. Don't worry about that. Creatively, you're at a college level already. As good as you are, or think you are; you'll learn tons in college-if you get the right teachers.

hey friends-

i made a run of prints that were inspired by some stuff I'm doing for EC. I have about ten left, so if anyone's interested in buying one, send me a little message. My love don't come cheap but I'm sure we can make a deal.

They're 15" x 19" Lithographs. Oh and the only thing different on the final version is that the "Oh Crap" is printed in bright red.

Hey Brad, have you ever seen any of Dave Dorman's paintings.  I used to collect them and have about 10-12 prints.  Anyway, I thought you would dig it.

By the way, I'm still going to get a mural from you as soon as I have a little extra cash or a birthday.  Hope you have some left.

I love Dave Dorman's work. He's an amazing artist, and he's a pretty nice guy, as well... in my bedroom I've got these Artist Proofs...



On this one he sketched a Sandtrooper for me...



On this one he sketched an AT-AT... (also wrote "Brad - May The Force Be With You!")



On this one, he sketched the Rancor...



On this one, Boussh's Helmet...

He's also recently put out a Graphic Novel (not a full blown comic, but has several amazing illustrations) called WASTED LANDS. This is one of his larger creative steps, I think, because he has spearheaded the project and it's his creation. I bought the book just continue supporting his work, and it turned out to be pretty good. It's got some Zombies and stuff, it's cool.

Nice!   I have all of those same prints but only limited editions and not the proofs.  The one with the stormtroopers on Tatooine is my favorite of all of them.

I also have these as well as a coffee table book of all his work....









Love the Cash drawing.

I've always loved the Wedge Antilles one, never caved and bought it, though... If Tim Bradstreet would print his Baron Fel painting at the same dimensions as Dorman's Antilles, that'd make for a sweet companion piece.




I'm glad we can be dorks and informed art appreciators in the same step.
