I've been going through things trying to pack, here's an oldie from 1988...before I actually figured out how to draw.

Stephen, I must say that it seems to me, looking at this pencil work you posted, that it would have been better if you had not figure out how to draw.

That is lovely, really, lovely.



estebanana -> RE: Being an artist. (Apr. 16 2013 20:37:22)

Thank you GJ, but I can draw realistically much better now, just don't have the time. I do love to draw, maybe I can take break from 3d work, as in guitars at some point and paint.

You have to pick your battles.

Here's a small landscape in the"dillatante style" from 2001~

I have a newly found respect for you, and this puts all your words and work into a very different perspective... you truly are a talented artist.

Now... if you can find a way to bring your artistic soul into your [already fine] guitars, then they wil be fabulous.

It is clearly tracable that these last two images have not been produced by chimps, elephants or orcas.
They are just too demanding for that. Definitly.

That landscape still appears too endeavored though, with a bungled background trying to cover break-outs of a pole, the sky intending to appear more remote to the right side, etc.
It takes of the arbitrariness by revealing kinds of settlement.

Things must come up more like hiccups to be authentic; I suppose as a layman.
Have you left out the absinthe drinking, before start?

Maybe you should start with channelling Carrel first ( or what´s the guys name again who used to throw tubes against the canvas. THAT´s what I´d call creativity!)
That technique could be accomplished even soberly I guess.

The second picture matches the kind bank department managers like to hang into their offices for a slick reputation.

What is its title? "You just don´t get it" maybe? Or "Sunday evening right before Tuesday noon with bondage"?

Anyway, very impressive! ;O) ... Or was that "expressive" ..., I just keep mixing things up. [:D]

For the aerospace engineers in the crowd:

Biomass Bomber

A conceptual project that I was thinking of but never really expected to get funded. The idea was for a compost heap in the silhouette of a flying wing bomber. It would be installed in a situation where the topography would allow it be seen from a precipice or hilltop so the viewer would look down on the outline from above, reversing the idea that a bomber is menacing the viewer by flying over them. A reversal of power.

The piece would be made with a bordering low fence in the bomber outline to retain the biomass compost inside the shape of the bomber. The exact dimensions of the stealth flying wing aircraft would be used. The compostable material would be available for community gardens, so it would go in situ with a community garden.

During WWII the US government encouraged people to start gardens at home called "Victory Gardens", the Biomass Bomber would be a response to VG and also a component of a bigger scheme called a Peace Garden

.....but then just as I was catching the eye of the curatorial contacts I have I decided to make guitars for six months and take a break from persuing the art career. That was many, many years ago and the six months has elapsed into more than 15 years...

Book of Flight

I worked on a this book for a while, it's like a stream of consciousness, giant out of control napkin doodle. The idea is to brainstorm and free associate images with words to create juxtapositions which evoke new ideas and images. The words and images are collaged together and many of them are highly personal and relate to relationships at the time. The details like the structures of insect wings taken from science books and the dark shapes are meant to be jet engine air intakes things I was studying for structures. There are references to books I read and the names of authors next to images of words which note a relationship to the book or some point in the book. Some of the book is just about the physicality of it, the papers, the textures the satisfaction of gluing things together. It's really nothing important or of real public interest, but lots of artists have these personal thinking and processing methods that they often do not make public.

Thanks Marrow3

This one is candy to my eyes.

Was it traced or done from scratch?

PS:
And possibly remarkable that there are two drakes. Could be a stressy moment actually.
Washing powder phosphates has shown effects on wild ducks in that there hatch too little of females, with the overhead of males having led to changes in behaviour.
Bachelor drakes increasingly display aggressive ways, trying to steal others mates by force against couples.
In the mid nineties we were walking around a lake when two ducks fell right before our feet, with a drake raping a female, so intense ignoring our presence altogether.
- Just for the zoologically interested.
