NEW Painting, by loucastel on Jan 27, 2012 22:01:42 GMT 1, ^^ keep going - liked the passion in those posts, rourke - you're great... bullsh*t name recognition and all that stuff means nothing to some... (i'm not a real financial art investor - but i get it)... so, dig real deep in the heart of things (might get lost, tho - cuz you are where you are right now... key is, never brainwash yourself)... with any luck you may get your footing and find or remind you of who you really are, at least for a minute ... stay 'MAD', yet safe, for a while, it's good for the soul... peace.
If you are an artist who can make enough money to get by on ,fair enough, but even artist's have to live, not quite so romantic these day's if you have a house and kid's to look after, not much fun starving in the Paris attic studio. I met Mackenzie Thorpe years ago at an exhibition in Brum, he said that when he first started he had to paint commission's of people's poxy cats and dogs, to live, when he became well known he said he could then paint, and I quote, "whatever the fu ck I want". Depend's what you want out of life I guess.

Thanks warmgun, some are done from scetches. Others are Nobods, I dont want them to be tied to a reference, so as a child would paint a face, eyes, nose, face, mouth, making them as sugestions, so they remain spontaneous and have and abstract feel. Basicically, an oval for the face, a black splonge for the eyes and nose, and line for mouth, the rest is imediate in front of the board, and down to the paint, and mood I am in.

NEW Painting, by Sohoria on Feb 2, 2012 0:08:57 GMT 1, Expecting to get my respect shot down to -300.
Lona agree cheeky but nice take on it and think works well.
In your own right everyone knows very talented and loved seeing what you have done the last few pages but and only a big but! your stunning in fine art pieces produce.
One art piece if had the chance would honestly have no thoughts of getting be more concerned on when it would arrive in my home.
What I have always liked about you since when we first spoken many months/years ago is you never liked to be held into a box and always was trying new techniques.
Takes someone special to come out of there comfort zone and invest time in doing art pieces of different styles.
It is my own liking but your fine art work is something that I would be happy to have in my home. From seeing something special would say be more than happy to have 10 - 30 art pieces from you in that style.
I looked at work on this thread and amazed by your talent but then seen truly amazing art piece from you and now hooked to see if you ever go down the line of fine art.
Always have been a great friend to me and supported me when wasnt so well and hope what I write doesnt ruin friendship really appreciated and trusted...s

I see certain style from you and love and others see different but follow passion that you have and sure life will bring you happiness....s
