Just wanted to share my artwork and see images of everyone else's art. I can't wait to see!

This is the most recent painting I've finished:

Not sure if this kind of graphic design counts but...

This is the layout I did for the physical CD we released a couple weeks ago. They came out really nice.

Hey, I think I recognize that couple in that one picture!

This is the only really artsy thing I've done that I don't hate.

I'm not sure I consider this art so much, but it is am emblem design I'm more than a little proud of...

Hello Art Thread

I've been meaning to post here for a RIDICULOUSLY LONG time (like...since I started posting back in 2010). So, this will be a bit of a photo dump.

Does anybody have an idea what this is? I don't.

Five interlocked cubes; but why ask? - it's just an image.

I made some paintings in the last couple weeks:

The last one isn't quite finished yet, but I like the way it looks now anyway, so there ya go.

pwhodges · « **Reply #16 on:** 16 Apr 2013, 15:27 »

I know you're hoping to move across the Atlantic, but are you planning to continue art as a means of income? I ask specifically because I have a picture on my wall bought from the Compass Gallery in Glasgow, by someone who had just left the Glasgow College of Art, and we've considered others with similar provenance.

Of those above, I like the first best, but I'm not sure my wife would accept it...

Metope · « **Reply #17 on:** 17 Apr 2013, 10:51 »

I plan on selling artwork, yeah, but I'm a little scared of jumping into it. I've never sold anything before, I've not even exhibited outside of a school setting, and I don't really know where to begin. Stuff like deciding a price or figuring out the logistics of shipping is just so strange to me. If you're interested in buying something, I'm sure I'd be able to work it out though! And yes, it's not really everyone's cup of tea, but I think it's funny that most people I've shown these paintings to have pointed out the first one as their favourite, I must have done something right there.

That dog painting is really lovely, by the way.

Danni · « **Reply #18 on:** 28 May 2013, 10:07 »

Not sure if it's "art" per se, but I spent alot of time on it. Essentially a backdrop for a few scenes. probably recurring. needs a bit more detail maybe.

edit: grr, struggling to embed the image

I really am not very skilled, but i hope it isn't wrong to show a couple of illustrations i made:

A three hour drawing i made in my room/studio's desk.

Something i saw in a dream once.

I like that the view from your window is of fruit or vegetables ripening on racks; I would find that very relaxing compared with the suburban back road I get to look at.

They are actually just trees/plants and other nature, planting some vegetables would be a good idea though. And indeed it is a very relaxing/healthy view, pretty odd for a house in the city's downtown (and with no neighbours either).

Dream · « **Reply #23 on:** 13 Oct 2013, 10:11 »

Not very sure but i *think* this is something new i made since last post.

My college roommate's wife is an artist, and she likened to selling her first piece to selling one of her children. When we visited them a couple of years ago, however, she was selling artwork like crazy.

Your stuff is worth it, so start selling!

Metope · « **Reply #25 on:** 13 Oct 2013, 10:41 »

Haha thanks! I will definitely try selling at my year's degree show in June, can't really do anything before that since everything I do has to be kept for evaluation for now. The good thing is that the degree show is perfect for getting publicity, there's even a VIP night before the actual opening where potential buyers go around looking at the graduating students' work, and that's when most stuff gets sold. A friend of mine who graduated last year sold every single one of her paintings, and she told me British Airways bought the two biggest ones. A couple student works even went to the Saatchi collection, so that's probably the best opportunity I'll have in the foreseeable future.

Metope · « **Reply #26 on:** 13 Oct 2013, 10:48 »

Anyway, I don't have any new paintings I want to share at the moment since I'm mostly focusing on the essay I need to write, but here are some more works from last year:

I think I want to paint less 'cutesy' from now on though, while I like the pastel colours well enough I feel like the tonal variation is suffering a bit, I definitely need a wider range of light/dark contrasts for it not to get too boring. They're pretty, but not very interesting.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #27 on:** 13 Oct 2013, 15:07 »

Really like the last one

Metope · « **Reply #28 on:** 13 Oct 2013, 15:34 »

Thank you, I need to get back into drawing again. I seem to only be able to either paint or draw in periods, never at the same time. That one is just a doodle of a plant in my grandma's house from last summer, but it did turn out pretty good.

Time to get crackin'!

(I know the middle painting with the orange blob on it is ugly, it's unfinished. I have high hopes for it though!)

Metope · « **Reply #31 on:** 10 Nov 2013, 08:01 »

Since I have a presentation tomorrow and I put all my new stuff up in the studio, I decided to take some proper pics. Some of them aren't finished yet, but here's all of it anyway:

And the ones I'm pleased with:

Here's a new painting I made. I have a couple more, but they weren't finished when I had them photographed so I'll have to do that again.

Taekwondoin · « **Reply #39 on:** 04 Apr 2014, 03:44 »

Metope, I love your paintings, is it safe to assume that you're a fan of people like Georg Baselitz, Anselm Kiefer, Cy Twombly and the like? You've got some great mark making skills in there, I'd quite like to see them irl to see how textured they are.

Metope · « **Reply #40 on:** 04 Apr 2014, 11:55 »

Thank you! My paintings are really flat and hardly any texture at all, so I'm not sure how you're seeing those artists in there, but I'll take it. I mean, I don't have anything against Kiefer, but as far as paintings go, he's probably as far away from me as you could get, visually and texturally... Twombly is great, but also completely different since his work is really spontaneous and quick while I like to plan it out and take my time. Baselitz is just a dick and his paintings suck too.

Well I didn't know that about Baselitz, and that article has ruined my opinion of him, as well as ruining my day, what a fucking tool.

I mainly see the artists through the use of colours (not Kiefer though) and the use of paint, it's expressive, it looks physical, and it has a depth of movement. It's a good thing in my eyes anyway. Have you experimented with texture before?
