Your Art, amateur or professional
Greetings fellow seekers of the weird,
after two years of silently lurking in the shadows of this wonderful forum and enjoying your strange and interesting conversations I finally want to introduce my self to you fine folks. Reading of the Vastarien Kickstarter stirred me from my long running passivity, for even though I am very much a amateur, I wanted to contribute some kind of art to this beautiful project. This got me wondering whether anything I have made before would even be worth submitting. Which in turn made me wonder what unseen art of other members might be slumbering in their private drawers, tattered notebooks, on their desks, or elsewhere. I would be happy to see anything you might have created for yourself, others or any other purpose. Amateur works are as welcome as professional ones. You do not need to restrict yourselves to pictures or paintings, music, videos, anything self made is welcome. To get the ball rolling, I will post some of my own paintings. best regards | |||||||||||

My amateur art from an introduction art class. It's scratchboard. The lighting is off, I know

I too went to different art classes over the years and found the setting inspirational as well as motivating. | |||||||||||

Re: Your Art, amateur or professional
Here are some older, rather crude drawings of mine.
The first and third one are ballpoint pen with watercolors. I actually enjoyed the feeling of cheapness of the material, it put me into a more sloppy and relaxed state of mind while drawing. Maybe these will lower the threshold for those of you, who are unsure of the quality of your works or material. The last one, with the fungi, I drew at autumn, after gazing at those strange creatures spurting from earth and decay and being reminded of Mr. Ligotti's wonderful "Autumnal". Also, ToALonelyPeace, I would love to see more of your drawings. | |||||||||||

Re: Your Art, amateur or professional
Thank you for your kind words. I'll try taking another art class this summer since it's been a long time.
I especially like your piece of a head of bumps, mouths, and growing fern stalks. A wonderful blend of color. | |||||||||||

Re: Your Art, amateur or professional
These two are copies I made from some of Paul Klee's drawings.

Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.

Re: Your Art, amateur or professional
Ah, I see that it is permissible to post one's art work here, and I will hopefully get it together and add a few of my own creations. At this time, with an aging laptop, I have difficulty doing much of anything except reading. (Has anyone else noticed there are always close to 100 guests online here while usually on 1 or 2 members lurk?) Now, if I can just figure out how to upload a file, I will certainly share some stuff. Please curb your enthusiasm.

Re: Your Art, amateur or professional
i currently immensely enjoy working with textures of thickening acrylics.
this one was the first internal image toward the title "king in yellow" (which i still have not read completely) this one was a experiment on craquelure, which went a little bit out of hand the next three are more photo-manipulations (including digital drawing) they share the theme of "home", and incorporate landmarks of my hometown, including a seemimgly hounted villa from before the second world war. this last one shows the etheral snail of humanitys nightly dreams for the cosmos, sailing towards moon and stars in little snailhouse-rockets to infect them with corrosive slime. I guess these snails fly more often these nights. please feel free to show anything new (and old) you have created, regardless of quality or medium. i am currently finishing two other works, one of which started with images invoked by Mr. Ligotty's "the night school". I will share them as soon, as they reach adulthood. | |||||||||||

Hi, ICE. No story, just inspired by mushrooms, ghosts, jellyfish, and black paper. | |||||||||||
