Keep in mind it's not entirely done but....Is it a deal Metatron??

That is excellent work, Sanctus.

I have no clue who mr. Steiner is, but from the looks of that image he's pretty hot.

*opps... backs away...*

I tried to reply to your comments the other day, but when I hit submit, the site froze up - as it does rather frequently for me - so it got lost somewhere in cyberspace. I didn't have the time then to try retyping. But as I was trying to say then, I don't have a problem trying to interpret my meaning behind it for you. The only issue is that if I do, it might alter the meaning of it that you have in your mind.

Again, I'm glad you appreciate it. It means a lot.

Especially after all this time that I've thought you didn't like me. Course maybe you still don't. Heh.

Certainly we all take something different away when appreciating & interpreting Art.

That's one of the things I love the most about it. Each piece says something unique to each individual. I also always enjoy hearing the stories behind pieces that really strike an emotional chord with me, like yours did. It never changes what I take away from it, only adds to the dimension of the piece for me. If that makes sense..

As far as not liking you, the only thing we don't share are our Political views for the most part. I know tons of people who I don't share the same views with, that are friends anyway.

If I didn't dig you, I wouldn't have written that long winded post in your " cheating fuck" thread.

And besides, none of those things effect the way I see Art.

You would be talented regardless of how I felt about you.

Honestly..

ExistentialDisorder · 03-01-2006, 09:46 PM

Cool. Understood.

It would be nice to know what your interpretation of it was. You can PM it to me if you'd rather not post it here.

That's who I thought it was at first too! Anyways...here's something I did in class today. Can you guess what was on my mind at the time? :P It's not totally awesome, but it is all from memory...

Demon Eyes · 03-02-2006, 06:53 PM

Ladies and Gentlemen, I've hit a brick wall, any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Now here's my dilemma.
I don't really have that much drawings on your standard 8 x 11 white paper, the few I do have I've already scanned and am getting ready to post it, but it's mostly my early work. All my most recent drawings are roughly poster size and don't fit on my scanner's surface. I've tried taking a photo of it but the quality I get from it sucks horribly. Any ideas on how I should approach this?

PhilSmith · 03-02-2006, 09:56 PM

It's that time again...

I posted this in randomness but it really belongs here. I'm so proud of this and it's not even my work, hehehe.

This is the tattoo my boyfriend got of Salvador Dali's elephant that I was telling you guys about recently:

PhilSmith · 03-03-2006, 01:34 AM

Now all you have to do is get him to work out so much that he can get that brute to walk by merely flexing his deltoid.

I like it, I’d say you should expand on it. Make a bad-ass painting.

Wow! That's really awesome...makes me want to get a starving elephant tattooed on me. Did he have someone draw that for him?

JuliaGaltic · 03-03-2006, 12:11 PM

We gave his tattoo artist a blurry picture off of the internet and he managed to put all the detail back into it. He did it all freehand too! He's amazing!

Metatron · 03-03-2006, 12:19 PM

Tattoo artists are some pretty damn talented people. Everything I do is quick. I can't draw slowly, and I usually can't draw a subject while looking at my paper either. Somehow I just look at something and just draw it. Did I mention it's a sweet tattoo?

These are some of my favorites with his Surreal and Beautiful Elephants..

And you can order pretty much all of his Prints from HERE..

And if they don't have it, they will actually make an effort to find it for you.

JuliaGaltic · 03-03-2006, 01:40 PM

Those are beautiful!

This is the piece on which Vince's elephant was based. The elephant on the right is the one tattoed on his arm.

He is going to get the one on the left tattoed on his other arm next.

She_Is_My_Sin · 03-03-2006, 03:22 PM

Those elephants are amazing. Very beautiful indeed. Especially the tattoo. I was thinking of getting something from William Blake's art done on me when I'm older, maybe something from The Marriage Between Heaven & Hell.

Anyways I did a variation of my green angel.

She_Is_My_Sin · 03-03-2006, 03:56 PM

Thank you Xnguela.
I've probably posted these before, but I just found them & wanted to put them up properly.

Sorry about the crinkles, I should have flattened them.

She_Is_My_Sin · 03-03-2006, 04:11 PM

Yup, my crusty old Windsor & Newton's given to me when I was 9. I find them easier to use than acrylics & they have a nicer effect than pencil. I did a huge version of the blue woman, it's not as good, but I felt it was a good effort.

pitseleh · 03-03-2006, 04:20 PM

Yes, very nice use of colour there, S.I.M.S. And I love the tail-ends of your brush-strokes. Looks ragged in a really natural way.

I'll post some drawings later this weekend probably, since I now have a date with my friend who has a scanner.

She_Is_My_Sin · 03-04-2006, 12:38 PM

Yeah sure. I used the resize picture thing when uploading it, but it's about A4 size. I'll have to email it through my school email site, my MSN won't work. Is that alright?

She_Is_My_Sin · 03-04-2006, 12:47 PM

Well how about I upload it & pm it to you full sized & I guess you could take it from that. But I'm not entirely sure that will work.

She_Is_My_Sin · 03-04-2006, 01:19 PM

No problem

I'm just glad you like it.

pitseleh · 03-05-2006, 02:01 PM

Ok, so I finally got some of my stuff scanned. Really hope it isn't too large. I run 1280 x 1024 resolution on my monitor, so I'm not sure
how it will look on lower resolutions. Feel free to tell me/edit if it's too space-consuming.

...

pitseleh · 03-05-2006, 02:04 PM

Damn... Doesn't photobucket allow large pics or something? I swear I sized the last one to around 800 in width or something. Both of these
are originally in A4 format, so if anyone would like a larger version e-mailed, just ask.
