Thanks so much! I used to paint, many years ago. It just doesn't bring me any joy, so I don't do it any more. Sharpies are my only medium these days.

Paints can be expensive and messy...one of the main reason why I do digital mix media too...you should still think about getting these printed out on canvases maybe...I am also a big fan of the sharpie...been experimenting with them recently on new art pieces that I might be releasing under a different account & page here on deviantART...lol

Yeah, I agree. And digital art is just not my thing at all. I like to have actual materials in front of me. Maybe I'll have some prints made one of these days. Sharpies are a lot of fun to experiment with.

I love the mosaic look of this! BTW, I see that you favor Sharpies. Do you find that later on they fade or even bleed? Or are they pretty stable? Some of my Prismacolor markers do that, especially the yellows. Some things I've colored ages ago, I've taken out to look at and find the yellow has progressed into the colors next to it even though there was none of that when I initially colored them.

Thank you! Yes, I do favor Sharpies, it's all I use. I have used them for years and layer them a lot, but I've never had an issue with colors bleeding into one another over time or discoloration. They are non-yellowing and are pretty darn stable, at least in my experience. I've never used any other brand of marker on a large scale, other than when I kinda had to in college. Never did like any other brand, lol.

i like the progression in your work, from the flat colours of 'All The Same' to the tonal colours of these more recent works. It makes them richer to look at.

The left side reminds me of the 80's cause of the rainbow and pastel colors which is cool (the 80's rocked!). I really like your color choice for the dark mass on the right side. Nice job! You make me wish that I had some shrooms right now. But I don't.

graffitica In reply to JamesHall2 [2011-12-13 04:30:53 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I loved the 80s as well, good times. The dark mass is a tribal butterfly wing. Glad you like it, and sorry you're out of shrooms to get the whole experience, haha!
