Your Thoughts, Input ect...

Sputs|uk · Posted: 25 Jun 2008, 13:05 Post subject: Your Thoughts, Input ect...

Right boobs i was going to put this in "what do you do in real life" but this is more for feedback on my art and what i intend to do with it, and besides there's nothing much really to say about me, except that my real name is Andy, i'm 36 yrs old and live on the northeast coast, england, i play the guitar and enjoy a smoke, that;s it! :wink:

Now then lol, the picture below i finished some time ago - medium is black ink on white cartridge paper, A3 size, so it's pretty large in it's natural state.

This kind of artwork is what i specialise in and there's no real theme to it (at the moment), but it has a sort of organic quality, and thinking of a name for the technique used, well i came up with extreme doodling.

I'm working on more of the same at the moment, and once i'm at a point where i have a sizable chunk of work together my plan is to sell them online, either through my own website or something like eBay shop. I plan to have them didgitised to improve tone and clarity and have 3 seperate sizes printed, small, medium, large (original size), and sell them something like Â£2.50 - Â£5.00 - Â£8.00, or thereabouts..,

So i'd just like to know what you guys think, of the art, of my long term plans for it and also if any of you have had any experiences with eBay shop or anything similar, or just what you know, cos it's kind of a black hole for me at this point.

Cheers.

Very nice work sir. Real tallent there. The first thing I thought was album cover art. Maybe you should aproach some rock record labels with your portfolio. As for selling prints, I think you're onto a winner. I bow to your greatness

Nice drawing skill. Lots of details...I'd get lost in them. I'd call it "Hunted by conscience" in my language.... dunno how it sounds in english. Once, I painted a colorful-mainly-blue snake, looking from distance, but when u get close, there was everything. So, I guess u needed lots of time for this, if u didnt use some drawing pc program. Also, when I did draw something like this, like 10 years ago, it was so realistic and scary...and I broke my "drawing" fingers same day. So, I'd suggest u some "heavenly" drawing next

Or mix them. Heaven up, hell down, life as a battle ground for good and bad, in between.

Son, come to the bright side.

Nice piece Sput you got skills

are u hiding somewhere in there

Funnily enough SyS lol, yeah there's a lot of me in there./

I must admit i have thought about tatooing, though by now i should have been at it a long time, and starting from scratch, hmm i'm not sure... kinda puts me off, but you never know mate. Is that Â£100 per hour or per hand lol, yes that is good money :shock:

Hey Obelix, when you say Hunted, i'm guessing you meant Haunted, would i be right? Anyway i like the title. There is definately an element of self in what i do, i.e what you see is basically the contents of my head - i don't really think about where i want to go when i start, it just comes out, so in a way you are right..

This one took about 6 months to complete, but i wouldn't go at it religiously everyday, just as and when...without the aid of PC technology, requires a lot of patience, yes.

I used a Rotring 0.35mm Isograph pen, very fine, and recently bought a set of three with pencil ect.. for Â£16 on eBay, bargain

Much thanks

I always thought Rotring sounded like some terrible disease of the sphincter.

Obelix · Posted: 26 Jun 2008, 09:23 Post subject:

I always tought Rotring is a dog breed.

I would guess that possibly in English speaking countries the pronunciation of Rotring is different in an attempt to stop it sounding like a terrible disease of the sphincter.
