don't know why, but this one had to be rapidly extracted from my mind. it was pretty impulsive. i guess that i create better when things are dictated by impulse.
tom: 8 for octopus? :D it's also that the 8 is a very "pleasant" number, moebius knot etc etc. concerning the workshop, it was very nice. i was hoping being able to finish a piece or something, but i was very disturbed by the sound coming out of the speakers from the main stage area. it'll be for next time i guess :D you've got very nice images on your blog. i perfectly remember the lower pieces too. adding you to my links. gaetan: thanks! keep it up :D
Very nice one... I'm intending to publish a comic book about gunslinger in Brazil, my homeland, but every time I see something like this from you, I almost change my mind... but of course my partner would never allow me to do so... She'd say I'm losing focus.... I say "It's Sparth's fault", hahaha
I am an industrial designer from Athens, Greece. I also paint traditionally with acrylics. What I'm usually interested in is buildings, machines, conceptual and mysterious environments etc. My problem is that I cannot find what it is I want to paint... How do I start conceptualizing? What do YOU usually do? Do you take photos and go from there, or what? How do you go about thinking of what you want to paint?
I would appreciate any input on the above blabberings...
Stathis asked the same questions I have.. can you describe your process to us briefly?
Do you use software, which ones? Do you use a digital tablet for the whole thing, or scan in line art and paint from there?
I'm very impressed with your work, you've got a gift for certain! Oh, one more question.. in past blog postings you've mentioned that some of the art was done quickly. When you say quick, are you talking a few hours or many hours?
Love it <3
ReplyDeleteAny significance to the 8?
Was very inspiring to sit next to you and watch you paint during the Seattle workshop. Thanks very much!
Very nice!!! Oo
ReplyDeleteThe atmosphere is ... I have no words to describe it!
