Here's a hummingbird painting of mine and a quick painting of The Joker.

I want that bird on a coffee mug, and the joker on a t-shirt please, thank you  ;D

Does this count as art? I played this demo for a company that makes big ole hollowbodies earlier this year.
If the talent and skill to create music isn't art, then nothing is.  Thanks for sharing this, would love to hear more.

Ha! Hey, some of my art and logos of mine have been printed on tshirts, umbrellas, coffee mugs! I bet if I had the Joker on tshirts, I'd be tapping into a huge market. I was asked to have a booth at a Comic Con, Ninja show. I almost considered, but didn't have time to get enough product together. I have lots of Asian art, geishas, samurai, ninja art. If I ever do get Joker in a t, I'll let you know! :)

I was sort of dragging behind because the strings were high as a kite and so was I. But hey.

Yes, indeed it is an art. Very nice!

How awesome would it be to have a series of japanese-influnced DC universe characters, like a samurai batman or a joker with ancient spirits of evil swirling around him. I think that that would be really cool.

Lets get some samurais up in this piece. Got any lying around?

Wonderful. The photo with the doll on the tracks is hainting and powerful. There's a story there. I have a photograph to share with you similar to this. If I find it, I'll post it.

Here are two older ones. I am not sure if I had posted them before. I'm not really that impressed with the last one, but I made it 12 years ago. It was more "practice" than anything else.

Wow these are both nuts, your "practice" is better than when I'm giving it :)

Finally got myself a photobucket.

A hatch opens on the underside

Gina, your stuff is sooooo wonderful.  I just get lost in this one.  Makes me feel so sad, yet hopeful.   :)

Thank you!  I'm still at my daughter's house out in the Virginia countryside.  I'm taking some shots of things I find on her property and plan to get a few printed and framed for her.  There is an old, abandoned dry goods country store just a hundred yards away from her house.  Lots of cool old items laying around the property here.  I took this shot a few days ago.  I think I'll print it along with the horseshoe shot.

First one is the logo my father designed for the Cleveland Cavaliers (1970-1983). Second one, my painting for logo design for MGM Grand Las Vegas for the diversity program. While I was working at Cirque du Soleil KA, was approached to help create it. We won a Bronze Quill award for it.

Dreary day. Had to go to the art store and buy some pastel paper. Got a free sketchbook, which was nice. Proud of myself for leaving there with only what I came to purchase, rather than going crazy like a kid in a candy store.

Random Thought: I've spent loads on quality product (paints, brushes, etc). Yet, one time I bought a pack of cheap brushes at Home Depot. They are my favorite brushes. So odd as they were just meant as toss aways.

I just asked MV to change the title of this thread to Visual Arts or something like that. That way it's not confusing...with Art (Bell) related threads.



I inked a Peter Laird pencil sketch and colored it on my tablet. Back then they all wore red! :)


This is the only one I've posted that I did with pencil, a marker and colored in pencil crayon. All of the others are digital.


And a grey for good measure! :)

Those are fantastic, Agent. You have a great grasp of color, something that most people overlook. Well done.

Hey thanks! I don't get as many chances to draw nowadays because of other responsibilities, but since I got a tablet with a stylus I've been trying to make more time for it.

I have one of those Bamboo slates for digital art but just can't get into it. I prefer paint in my hair, on my jeans and on the dog while smell of turpentine roams in the air. Ha. Sculpting too. Messy as hell. Little pieces/parts of clay everywhere. I fucking love it. Hey...what brand markers and crayon pencils aee you using? The pigment is wonderfully vibrant.

I've been registered here for a while but didn't even realize there was an "art" thread going, I should have known. Going to have go back and review what's here but here's my contribution to the Bellgab Museum of Fine Art (BMFA), a few pieces from the years I used to work as a bronze sculptor, in the good old days, pre-911.

EDIT: Just went through the 5 pages and am BLOWN AWAY by the talent and taste here. Blown away. Well done, Gabbers.

Wow, that blows my mind! Nice work. Have you explored 3d printing at all? As a sculptor I'm sure you have some opinions on the potential there.

Also where can we place orders for shotglasses? They would come in handy during the gabCasts :)
