*** My art gallery ***
I just posted the following on my forum and figured it would be good to share it with everyone here at IAC too.......
Something I have been meaning to do for years is take photo's of some of my artwork and put it online. Well, I figured I might as well start where it all began for me, at high school.
1986 was the year when I really started to love art classes. I guess this was partly due to having a great art teacher who really inspired me and partly due to having a geniune passion for art. Anyway, in 1986 I was in year 9 and in the middle of my teens and drew the following images. (I'll be adding new images here on a regular basis).
UPDATE 2023 - Here's a link to my artwork on my new forum....

More, more --- must have MORE of the SuperPuss ART!
You obviously did NOT subscribe to the "equal distribution of talent" clause, required for ALL IAC Artists. No fair being a jack-of-multiple-instruments AND able to draw, and do production design. -== : - )

I'll be uploading more very soon. I'm also feeling inspired to create some new artwork now so I'll upload that too once I get back into it.
I found an unfinished pencil rendering of Toyah Willcox which I might get stuck into.

Seriously though, Stegor, if you are reading this, I LOVE your work my friend :)
Here's another pencil rendering piece I drew many moons ago. This one is of Pat Benatar, one of my favourite 80's influences.

Thanks guys and thanks heaps for the link MF. Sandro's work reminds me very much of one of my influences, M C Escher. I am also a big fan of Salvador Dali.
It also turns out that one of my biggest musical influences, Tangerine Dream's founding member, Edgar Froese was also good friends with, and inspired by Dali.

Here's my first ever charcoal on paper life art drawing. The challenge with charcoal is getting the shading right the first time. Charcoal tends to be quite unforgiving but is a great medium for this kind of drawing.

Rob,
I thought about adding some as song images but I kinda like having consistency with my little flashing SuperPuss images. All the images in my blog here are in my artist gallery on my artist page though. If you want to use any of them on your station, you are most welcome to. :)
I'll be adding more tonight and updating this blog too.

The piece of the model/rockstar lookin' woman was my fav. Rock on SUPERPUSS -- and put up more.
I'm gonna steal your idea though, and put up an Artfest Music ART GALLERY Blog, that has ART from the ARTFEST Haus of Music and ART. urrr... once I get something together.
Oh yeah, the teapot DID show me that you've got good Light Source/ and 3D shading skills, but it was NOT my cup of tea. Too much realism! -pHLeGm

Great stuff, Titania! So... you like Escher and Dali too, eh? Have you seen much Frida Kahlo? I think you'd dig.
All your drawings are hip. I really dig the Wall (natch) and the Pat Benetar. I also took some lessons in charcoal and pastel when I was a nipper, and can attest to the shading issues w charcoal. However, I always liked that medium (sort of like B&W photography). Good on yer!

Superpuss --- Didn't see the acylic before. VERY spacey-surreal & WELL done! I haven't really tried painting yet (just pencil/pen & india ink drawings), but you're obviously gifted, because I KNOW it's a trickier medium to work with & your first offering is SWEET! -pHLeGm

Steve,
Thanks for the paws up on Frida Kahlo too. What a tragic story! ....but what amazing works!
I have some blank canvases in my art room right now and a bunch of oil paints and various brushes and other implements. I have never tried oil painting but I'm about to give it a shot. I'll post the results here when I'm done.

VERY cool stuff Hugo! Those would look GREAT on my studio wall. Very art deco.
I am curious about the tools / brushes you used in these. I like what you've done with the outlines too.
I just love the pastel shades oils offer. You just don't get those with acrylics.

Hmm. It was long ago. I probably just used fairly small brushes...giving some "height" to the outlines was definitely an intentional effort - I was experimenting with applying paint with knives at the time but never did well with that, pretty sure I just gobbed it on with brushes in this case.
These started as pencil sketches and at the time I was getting drawn in by color and wanted to experiment with complementary colors...also the spaces between the figures are intended to have "transferred values"...do they suggest anything to you? I tried pretty hard to suggest something with those shapes and it's a central aspect to the paintings though I don't know if it "worked" for anyone but me...curious if anyone would "get it" so don't want to say more just yet...they're small paintings - done on 9 in x 12 in canvas boards. Thanks for letting me invade your gallery!

Regarding oil/acrylic - I've never dabbled in acrylic - I have an elder family member who is a painter and taught for years, and that explains my dabbling...he was (and remains) vehemently opposed to acrylics and I must confess that acrylic colors tend to strike me as overly bright...but I may just have a learned bias about that.
We have a neighbor who is a talented artist and we just attended her studio building's annual open house - I admired some landscapes of the American southwest painted by a different artist...I asked if she had painted on-site and she told me that she had tried but the hot, dry air made it impossible for her to use her acrylic paint...I suspect oil would have dried relatively quickly under such conditions as well, but she said the acrylic was dry before she could get it on the canvas! Oil paint rules!
I gave up on the painting when I realized I had developed a bit of an obsession and suddenly my mind was focusing on the question "How would I paint that?" everywhere I looked...!

I see an erotic touch (a cupped hand) between the figures that I didn't see initially. That's pretty clever.
The fact that it doesn't jump out immediately is a good thing IMO. I like things that evolve the more you study them. In fact, I like that in all art forms, including (particularly in) music.
edit.... I'm finding I'm doing the same thing as you were as far as observations go but I am doing that with photography. I'll have to post some of my photographic art here too.

I like the hand idea - that's not what I intended, but I like the idea and I see it now that you mention it. That's part of the beauty of art...I kind of want to tell you what I intended but I don't want to spoil the fun of seeing it for yourself...

By the way I was thinking about "transferred values" and thus googled it - thought it might deserve explanation for anybody who is unaware of the concept...it's the idea that an object may suggest something other than what it appears to be. For example, a cloud could obviously be a cloud, but could suggest a reclining human form, or an animal, or...anything...
When I just looked the phrase up I was surprised to see that Albert Barnes is credited with developing the concept (link to a page of a book discussing it briefly). Dr. Barnes was a prominent and wealthy Philadelphian and he placed his vast art collection (mostly impressionist paintings) in a foundation which exists to this day in my neighborhood. Several of my elder family members attended classes at the Barnes Foundation many years ago, while he was still alive, and although my great uncle had taught me about the concept of transferred values I didn't realize it was a concept that Barnes had described and named.
Aloha!

Don't tell me what you intended. I'm curious to see what others think ;-)
In the meantime, here's a brand new photo I took a couple of days ago. The effect is created totally in camera by adjusting the ISO, shutter speed, aperture and colour balance.
Shot on my Nikon D200 with my 18 - 70mm lens at 62mm, 1/160, f6.3, ISO1250, cool white.

Glad you got a laugh from the things in the first photo Hugo..... and yes, I DO go to that milk bar for cream, almost daily!!! Seriously, I live right next door to it!
That oversize truck was the reason I took that shot. I looked out my window and saw a huge traffic jam so I went outside with my camera to investigate. The reason for the jam was the truck was doing a U-turn over the medium strip in the middle of the highway and had all four lanes of traffic blocked in BOTH directions.
I just HAD to take a photo and figured I might as well be creative with it :-)
Your second guess for the second photo is a LOT closer. If you have a look on my artist page, you'll see the answer ;-)

Hi Titania, you are certainly a very talented lady in so many areas. If you like Dali you might like the CD cover to "Corkscrew' designed by Dirge. It took me a long time to find out but that is Marcel Proust in the sun and the deckchair is the parts of an ear. I think the icecream looks like Bin Laden.
