The all-purpose ART thread!

Any artists here? Show us your stuff! :)

I'll start off with something I did for my first school; a tiger that was used for printing on t-shirts:

Though it's based on a real photograph of a tiger roaring, I purposefully made it simpler because it was going to be on budget shirts. Going nuts with the detail would have hurt it in the end, I think. This is from 1994 or so.

Oh, and the original mascot was Snoopy. Dunno why they changed it after so many years.

When I used to manage Blockbuster I made little comics I'd email the staff. Eventually I had about 90 people from the nearby Blockbusters on my 'subscription.' I did about 100 strips. I wasn't very good but here are a few I'm least embarrassed by.

Can this thread also be used to discuss other art? I saw some cool stuff at the art museum last week.

You will not. None of us will, except for a very old and dying Ziggy Stardust who will watch it through teary eyes as he remembers us all.

RE: The all-purpose ART thread!

I have a very peculiar taste in art. Here's some pictures of my favorite paintings:

 

Salvador Dali

 

Rene Magritte

I also like the oldies, too.

Sebastian Pether - The Eruption of Vesuvius

The Birth of Venus

Jan Van Eyk - The Marriage of Arnofini

 

I got the opportunity to see another couple favorites of mine in person, Water Lilies by Claude Monet and Young Man in a Black Beret by Rembrant being prime examples.

These are pictures that I took of them.

^(immediately after I took this, I was told that photography of this painting was not allowed. I was lucky!)

Here's the Rembrandt:

 

There are many other interesting pieces I saw there, (including things by Van Gogh, Jackson Pollack, Leonardo Da Vinci, Gaugin, Salvador Dali, Seurat, Thomas Hart Benton, among many others) so I will upload those eventually, along with some videos on YouTube.

The outside of the museum is also beautiful.

Posts are one thing, but people don't even read thread titles now?!

Haha, no. :p I think I had done the rest and then debated whether to leave them blank—comic book style—or fill them in. I decided to leave them blank, obviously.

HA! Yeah, the end of that middle finger came out kind of rectangular. I'll have to fix that.

Actual literal real LOL. I thought he meant the white thing on Jr's wrist. Kinda looks like the end of a doobie.

HAHAHA! I didn't even think of that. The hospital bracelet does look like a fat joint. Oh great. Now I can't ever look at it any other way.

RE: The all-purpose ART thread!

I just found this in my photbucket from years ago. I have no idea why I altered this drawing, but if there's such a thing as art, this certainly isn't it.

Speaking of cake, anyone ever do any of those Get the Cake things? I was really into it for a while. Lots of fun and really brings out people's creativity.

Here are some I made:

I have a lot of drawings, but my scanner is messed up, so I can't post them.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won't last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you'll be able to project it on a 20' by 40' screen with perfect quality. I think it's the director's prerogative, not the studio's to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas
