Let's see your ART!

[ShaolinLambKiller]

Lots of great stuff in here, my favorites are dase and gunslinger_burrito's pieces. Just the styles I enjoy looking at the most. The photography at the start of this thread is always interesting to me to a degree but I'd always prefer something hand drawn.


Here's some of my stuff...

some acrylic on canvas pieces:

love the shirts!

I am an actual brisbanite.
As shameful as that is.
Fuck dude, I wish I could make it out to that, but I'm buried up to my neck in uni shit.
I've got some mates in west End that might be keen though, I'll let em know.
How much stuff are you bringing up?

Hey man brisbane has tym guitars and tea master! Which is where I'm going the second I get off the plane haha. Bringing up five pieces, I'll post them all in here after opening night. But I think they stay there for three weeks or something.

[Iommic Pope]

Cool man!

[ShaolinLambKiller]

Thanks dase I appreciate that. I've done more i just picked what's most recent.

[ShaolinLambKiller]

I just finished this for fun

That reminds me a lot of the old Grief Album art.

[ShaolinLambKiller]

Excellent. I love Grief and I love that guy's art. Very under appreciated if you ask me.

How long have you guys been drawing/painting/etc?
Is it like a daily thing for you, or just when it strikes you?

[gunslinger_burrito]

Well, my goal is to start tattooing eventually, so I try to draw fairly often. Having a full time job and trying to play some music makes it hard to draw every day, but I never go more than one day without drawing or painting.

Hey Dase, do you ink your stuff and paint over it, or are you silk-screening (or otherwise copying) and painting the screens? I'd love to be able to ink my stuff and then just blast the colors over the top, but I haven't found a paint that doesn't fade the blacks when I lay it down.

[ShaolinLambKiller]

Go for tattooing, that would be awesome. Back about 4 years ago I was looking to start but really it wasn't for me. I don't want to work with people in designs or anything like that, hell I really just dislike talking to people, it's some sort of anxiety underlining probably.

But I used to draw a ton back in the day then I stopped, picked up doing music and touring and what not and then around 08 I decided to start painting to fill my time cause most of my bands broke up at that time and I had yet to start recording on my own so I had a ton of free time. I started painting and giving them away to friends and then I posted a few online and started selling them. Nowadays I I go through spurts in how much I do. I try to work on something be it painting or inking everyday but if I'm more heavily involved in writing and recording an album I kinda throw it to the side. So it's a kinda daily thing unless I have something else to keep my interest that makes me feel productive. I'm bout to start on some new stuff cause I thought I was going to play some diablo 3 and now it's telling me it needs to reconfigure all the game files for the next hour. I might as well do something with that time.

[ShaolinLambKiller]

And since I guess it's going to take the rest of the night I did finish this in that time...

[dase]

Thanks dudes! Those pieces are silk screened then I just added colour with copic markers. Except the middle one, that's just a drawing straight on to card.

I only started drawing when I was like 25/26 (I'm 32 now). I'd always been completely rubbish at art and it really started to piss me off, like I needed to be able to express these visual ideas I had, so I just started trying to learn to draw.

I'm incredibly lucky to be at the point now where I almost always have some commission piece that needs working on, or in this case I've been doing exhibition stuff since last November. So pretty much any spare time I have after work will be working on whatever's currently on the go. A finished drawing will take me between 20 and 40 hours
