Description
A variation. I am having fun with this image.Not much to tell you.
So here are some things I was thinking about ( mostly technical this time)
Hot colors, a sense of disorientation between frontal and dorsal views, a graphic sense signified by harsh divides with watercolor like median transition functioning as a sort of drop shadow that is carried over into the figure,
I think also that this was inspired by a book I read about rendering in markers.
It is called "Rendering with Markers" (Ronald B. Kemnitzer).
I realize I buy/rent a lot of books purely for the graphic content, not always the instructional value.
I will also trade you a print of this for some good coffee or booze.

I'll have to look up that book...do you still have it?
Oh, and if you are up for a trade for this, let me know...or are you out of prints? I am on a mission going through your gallery investigating something I was told about your work. James will explain...

I actually have a framed, hand detailed version of this right now that I had listed for $100.
It is Letter sized but is a bit different from the digital version and yeah trade is always cool.

Yeah, I'm interested. I need to wait about a month or two, though. I have a couple things I need to have framed, as you know. Plus I have a trip next month. It is good that this one is framed. As far as a trade versus money...let me know exactly what you would have in mind. Money just seems simpler to me.

That's cool, let me bring it in to show you first. It is one that I was thinking about holding onto for a private collection but if you are interested we can work something out later. It'll help to see it first. Heavy pencil detail in the upper part.

This is gorgeous ... I like the way your mind and hands work.
I do not know any current reference to your name and what it means. It is similar to the name of the warlord of Robert the Bruce and other Scottish kings. His sensechal was Keith.

My favorite birthday present (on my 11th b-day) was a Hot Wheels Dual Lane Supercharger, but my second favorite was a package of about twenty Bic Banana markers, in colours that almost resembled the caps that represented them. I think I drew my first anatomically correct woman with those, an aqua-tinted siren in hot pants....
Beautiful piece, this. It reminds me (as do others in your style here) of that scene in "The Man Who Fell To Earth", where Bowie is watching about a dozen TV sets at once. Always so much going on that cannot be taken in at a single glance. It bears pondering, and the pondering in turn bears fruit to the viewers benefit.
Now, hows about a shot of Bombay Sapphire, old buddy

Awesome. I think I remember banana markers!
Of course I also remember when you could get Mt. Dew in glass bottles for like, less than a buck.
We used to do that, hit the 5&10 after school and you could get teeth rotting things (AstroPops come to mind) and pop that was super cheap.
Hanging out at the library meeting chicks with a blood sugar level hovering around 400 was where it was at!
There is a similar moment in Back to the Future where Marty McFly's son walks in and fires up a few various channels.
I think that is something I like to work in there... multiplicty of frames and moments. Some kind of collage residue.
Anyway, it's always fantastic to hear your thoughts. Glad ya stopped by!

it took me a while to comment. i had to be in the right place to chose my words for this.

she's totally your muse man....I love it. And I agree with the deconstruction of classical art comment, for me it's also a combination between then and the future.

Pienso que sΓ, tienes razon.
It is interesting to read your thoughts about the connection between then and now.
Esa sentimiento de juntar los tiempos, yo estarΓa de acuerdo, es verdad.
Thanks for checking it out!

Si pienso que lo haces, que mezclas un poco lo futurista de la tecnologΓa actual con esa belleza sutil del renacentismo, con ese horror de principios del siglo pasado, como Lovecraft, donde solo necesitas acercarte a lo desconocido para ver cuan bello y horroroso puede ser.

your works intrigue me....I am wondering...before you got into digital were your paintings like these works Ive seen? I would probably only have to go through your gallery to answer that huh?

Digital for me was a real ephiphany... traditional work was more organic by the nature of the media used ( oil, watercolor, etc.) but you are right that the processes I learned there shaped the way I handle digital. Now, it is at least 9 years that I have been working with pixels so it is second nature, like speaking English or breathing even, so the lines are blurred. Recently ( since around 2005) I have returned to working traditionally in graphite and watercolor in some instances, and then intergate those into digital work, as you can see by some of the other works.
"Salmacis II " is an example of this. I have some traditional sketching work on BREED ( www.breedart.org) as part of a Sketch release which gives a better impression of some quick traditional work. There is also work on that site that I have never posted here, so if you are interested in seeing more you can check that out too.
Thanks for the discussion!
