New direction in my art this year.

I'll confess... It is kind of cool. What was the old direction?

Weird stuff, mostly.

Beautiful. I admire that you make art that is like what we would find in books growing up - with a character that you just don't get with digitally produced art. They all had a warmth to them.

Really cool art - either direction! :)

Really appreciate that, thanks :) I generally agree, though there are occasional artists that manage to make the digital warm also, which I am unable to do.

Thanks, Metron!

I kind of like Pandastein. :)

I am always fascinated by an artist's ability and interpretation. It's true. I struggled to draw a stick figure but wanted to do such things and couldn't. Therefore I grew to appreciate it all. Never ceases to amaze me...the talent.

I'm the same way. I can't paint or draw worth a damn and artists make it look so easy. I wrote and drew a Spider-man comic when I was in middle school. :-[ One of my best friends was an artist and he inked the thing and made it look half-ok. His solo work was beautiful and intrinsic and I knew after that one attempt that I should leave the drawing and painting to those who are gifted with that talent. I certainly was not.

"Making it look easy" comes from failure after expensive failure. Expensive in terms of time wasted and materials lost, as well as in terms of losing a little bit of your pride/confidence/soul with every piece. You have no idea how much has been discarded in the lead up to the final simple piece. I used to sculpt bronze for a living many years ago but have since given it up. I have no energy left to try to explain the value of a piece of art anymore. Everything I do now is either given away immediately or traded with other artists for something else. I can't imagine trying to make a living as an artist these days when gratification is so immediate elsewhere.

I love these. What is the actual size of them?

Awesome to have you here, a fellow tripper and artist. Post often.

Thanks! The older ones shown are 8x10ish and the newer ones vary but up to twice the size.

Thanks, primarily a cactus guy, worth the patience it takes to grow them :P
