Started a blog today to publicize my glass work. Everything has been under lock and key up until this point because I wasn't sure whether the medium would last. Wel it has been over a year and the original pieces are still in tact, not a thing has "settled." http://aguderian.blogspot.com/

Cool project, are you using resin? How do you arrange the pieces in the bottles? Would be great to get a better idea of your process, sounds like there's a lot you could do with it, especially if it is resin as there's been a lot of similar medium work around here in Brooklyn.

I started doing these really small drawings because I was imagining a video game I wanted to make while I was daydreaming at a stupid meeting at work, and I only had a tiny pad, so I just started drawing these weird little things. I've always liked to draw small, but with these I wanted to draw as small as I could so I would actually have a physical limit to the amount of detail I could put in, otherwise I obsess about it and never finish it. So, Most of my drawings are about 4"x4" give or take an inch in either direction - about the size of a lighter. Anyways, I don't really have any clear direction with this stuff other than a weirdo little sci-fi/fantasy theme in my head, but I'd love to hear what ya'll think. I haven't really showed them to anybody yet, other than my little Tumblr.       Anyways, I have more, I just don't wanna flood this poo poo up. Oh, I use a .3 GRAPH 1000 that I just sharpen the poo poo out of on a another piece of paper, and I don't use a ruler - I found rulers just smudge it all to hell, so it's all freehand. ursa_minor fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Mar 10, 2014 |

It isn't any hardened material like resin, it is 100% "editable" after the product is "finished." I have commercializing the material in mind but first need to execute a lot more concepts with it. Transitioning beyond mason jars is a major step towards accomplishing this.

Eh, it's kind of dumb and super videogamey, but I imagined the "magic hotdogs" and various spheres to sort of be disassembling the houses, feeling every part of them, and learning. Like, whatever that stuff is, it's grasping around and exploring. They aren't blowing up like, dynamite style, just expanding apart, like how soap breaks the surface tension of water. Hey man, you asked, haha. I have more here: http://ianlunabelyea.tumblr.com/

Don't drink heavily. Be prepared to talk about your work without feeling awkward about it. Anyway, I like to go to a show where nobody knows I'm the artist, and eavesdrop on conversations around my work. It sometimes requires a thick skin, but I really like hearing unfiltered opinions and I use it to advise my next paintings.

Trying to decide what I should charge for prints vs. originals. This is especially hard when a lot of the work only exists as a photoshop file until printed. Also, I always wonder how much more to hike up work from show to show? If it didn't sell at the first show, does it make sense to hike up the price for the second show? Making labels tonight. I will make sure they all match.

I was going to finish up that last painting, but I did this instead: It's really hard for me to get back to a painting. It's a bad habit that I'm not doing much to control right now. That's something I'm trying to work on. Stroszek fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Mar 13, 2014 |

Hey I never knew about this thread! I'm a part time potter but I work part time for a potter also. Together we are the Pennsylvania Mug Company, we specialize in mugs mostly but are moving more into other coffee accessories like creamer pitchers, pour overs, we also do other one offs, here some of our work, some is mine some is my partner's       This is an awesome thread by the way.

Your pottery is awesome, HollisBrown! I'm teaching myself how to paint with watercolors. Half the battle is just learning to let the paint do its thing.    I'm using poo poo quality paint, at some point I need to pony up and get better pigments. The burnt umber I have right now is tragically gritty.

The bottle is my partner's and is my favorite piece ever. She taught me everything I know about pottery, in exchange for glazing everything, wedging clay and firing all the kilns. Pretty sweet tradeoff.

More work on my fencing series, now an actual series. The saber painting (far right) is still WIP, foil (middle) is pretty much done (just need to clean up that halo), and epee is somewhere between.

I got a bunch of stuff I ordered so I'm trying out techniques and combinations. I'm using Talens China Black ink with a "school" and "Mapping" nib, Kuretake Zig Clean Color brush-pens, Mitsubishi uni Posca white paint marker and Faber Castell Polychromos on Strathmore 300 Sequential medium - Vellum finish.  http://i.imgur.com/s8wscBC.jpg I'm really digging the pencils on the Vellum finish. I like the white marker ability very much too. I wonder if there are other ways of adding brighter colors. I'm considering getting some gouache.

Looks good, you'll probably really enjoy gouache. I use white gouache on my inked drawings to add highlights. It's great because it doesn't resist more linework like watercolor tends to. Plus you can push it around any time you feel like because it's never truly dry.   Here's a picture of my finished painting from a few pages ago.

zwdzk posted:I have nothing to add other than the fact that this is such an amazingly cool idea. You've inspired me. The only thing I guess I could comment on is the texture of the snake skin. Well done, no doubt, but lessening the focus on that specific detail might make for a stronger piece of work. It looks busy. Thanks for this comment. Last year I did a few art fairs and got really sick of people saying (which most people think is a huge compliment) "I thought that was a photo!" I've been trying to loosen my style a bit while keeping most of the realistic look, and you bring up a great point. I need to get the idea of scales without drawing them out like the sperg I am. Thanks, this is really very helpful.

I love the looks of those jars but I don't know if I could display one in a way that does it justice. I imagine some kind of pharmacy cabinet or shelf would be nice for it. Here's a sketch/sketches that's with some china black, the school nib and the mapping nib and F.C. Polychromos and some other stuff here and there.

Yeah eh, not to disrail anything but I see that and I immidiately think of this  I recomend working on that, the expressions and the morphology of the face are inconsistent between expressions. She kinda looks like a man in the top right too.

Sadly, no, I couldn't source a good hat for it. It's Shuuro, which is basically chess with points-bought armies rather than fixed, and options for 4-player.

Here's another sketch. Colored pencils, ink and dip pens, gouache and white marker. Not happy with either the gouache or the white marker. I can't get the accuracy and flow I want with the gouache and the marker is not reliable at all. I ordered some Zig-Kuretake white ink along with their comics-black and I'll see how it goes.

I have a decent grasp of value when I use charcoal or graphite, but I struggle with crosshatching and texturing when I only have a pure black. I saw the original of this drawing by Karl Stevens up close. It's mindblowing - the online reproduction doesn't do it justice. http://thephoenix.com/Boston/life/133405-subtle-thief-of-youth/ I'm enthralled with how deliberate he is with his lines. My approach has usually been more like making random scratches, and relying on the overall density to reach the right value level. Bubbacub fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Apr 9, 2014 |

I recommend you try to copy some of his work several times and see if you can learn from that how he approached creating values with his hatching.

Person above, that is very cool, very dirty. This is a bunch of colored circles i made. I liked it more before I'd filled them all in, but I am reasonably happy with the result. It's on 10x7 watercolor.
