Illustrations/Fine Art

@derek111 it can be super difficult to get back into creating. I painted a lot in my early 20s and then was unproductive for about a decade. Finally, a few years ago I picked it back up again. Some things just take time and can't be rushed.

Usually the best things.

@endo the Paul Crichley painting; is the blue window frame painted or an actual window frame with the cast shadows painted on?

[endo]

It consists of three painted wooden panels connected with hinges. The cast shadows are painted on.

@endo thanks for posting these incredible pieces. Made my Saturday morning more enjoyable. Really curious about the context of the piece that depicts the woman being held down, flipping the bird and her finger being measured So many standout works

[endo]

Thanks @SKT. Unfortunately I didn't note the name of that work's artist. To me it seems as if they are measuring her 'no fucks given' ability. The amount of high-quality art impresses me every year, considering the provincial location in which the exhibition takes place (Rendsburg). And many are for sale. Like the first one by Harmut Kiewert (Sand III), which I'd love to buy, despite I would not have place to hang the 300x200 cm format and it is 15.000€. Got the poster instead

@endo “no fucks given” seems right. Love it. And I dig the one you mentioned too. I like the juxtaposition of the farm animals in those settings. Totally interesting

Figured I’d share a personal favorite in the modern illustrator scene, James Jean. His Instagram make for some jaw dropping reels

Finally sent these Mark Maggiori prints to be framed a couple weeks ago. I think they turned out pretty good especially the larger Gallery float framed.

Now we just need to agree on the exact heights, not just the locations. I think we’re good on the larger one, but this is where things always get fun when you have an interior-designer wife… and me, with my very strong opinions

Very cool. “Amoskeag” is a great word to boot

Posting a charcoal sketch my 6th grade daughter did because I’m impressed with her progress this year having a great art teacher. Made me think of you Stevie and how lucky your students are to have you. An awesome teacher makes all the difference to inspire and teach young creatives. @Oaktavia

[Oaktavia]

@SKT heck yeah that's awesome man. I do a similar shoe drawing in my classes. Your kid did a great job with theirs!

@Oaktavia thanks man she was proud of it
