It just feels good to post up anything. So, here's anything.
First up is "Poxox The Night Stalker"

[Medved35]

#2 is entitled " Henredon Weaner Pods"

[ehoeveler]

Weaner Pods strikes my fancy - I like the interesting brush work
and how you've treated the 'weaners'.
Number one has a nice freaky circus appeal but with that I love to see more colors pop.
Thank You, E

It had pop at times while I was creating it. Eventually the yellow and white lines dulled it down. I might have to build up a a certain amount of ambition to pop it out again. Here's one pick right before the final stages. Had some pop, but even before that it had a ton more. Well, more.

Here's the 2 done with some computer fondling.

You are good in my book but I am not getting the message

[ehoeveler]

Lovin' that 'pop', Collin!

[Medved35]

Thanks E. endless, I read this while I was in college say 7-8 years ago. At the time, I knew I liked what I read but couldn't firmly grasp it altogether. It's Henri Matisse, "Notes of a Painter". It's a solid read and probably explains best what I'm trying to accomplish. I like the idea of a nice comfortable armchair, but I can't seem to consciously or subconsciously have my art devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter. Whether i choose to be or not, I'm too much in the thick of it and to refuse it would be denial. My paintings would be fake.

[Medved35]

Clearly, I still haven't grasped it in it's entirety, but it is Matisse. Give me a few decades alright! The Night Stalker Painting was an attempt to bring back my pop imagery and try to gel it with my current style. I'll probably paint over it.

[Medved35]

Thoughts? Would this be better?

[ehoeveler]

Better? I'd say just as good. Thank You, E

The night stalker speaking of pop has a nice pop art feel to it. Of course I'm into that sort of thing. like it
I really like the two "Henredon Weaner Pods" pieces. They have some nice imagery in them.
I love the flat color in both of them. It makes them easy to look at.
Just out of curiosity what medium did you use.

[Medved35]

Thanks E and Eddie for your input.
I use acrylic and white charcoal pencil. Only thing I can use to create that chalkboard effect. But I wouldn't recommend it just because it's messy and if you want to use a fixative....well, that can be messier.

I paint over my work a lot so I don't bother with any fixative. Hairspray only works the first few times you use it after that the damn nozzle/tip gets clogged and it starts spraying uneven and leaves shinny dots on your work.

The night stalker makes a good poster -I think thats what made me wet my self.

You have to be restrained in how much working out you prostrate before the world
Because its like continually apologising - **** that

[nigelartist]

Good artsworks and nice colour. Personally, I don't like to see words in an artwork to explain what it is about. To me the artwork should do that.

creeps me out and thats good.

I like the unique pop-culture aspect to them... mixed with a sketchy texture... great color and layout on all... for sure..
but I agree with most of the comments mentioned before, I like the style and the subject is intriging.
