Art Murmur 13


In response to Matt's #12.

Copycat!




Another bit of messing about in an art challenge from the esteemed Mr. Ruth boards. An attempt to stay faithful in recreating a memorable passage of Kirby from my youth while still bringing a bit of my own sensibilities also. Here's hoping I didn't tarnish things too much. Apologies, Mr. Kirby.

EDIT: By request, here is the original Kirby brilliance so that my pieces may pale even more so.

Art Murmur 1


The above is my entry into an art conversation with fellow gregthings board member, Matt Strackbein. It's the first in the set and, after some tinkering, it ended up with a pretty personal slant. I think that it will be cool to see where Matt goes with it though since we agreed to reference the previous entry in some way during the back and forth. It'll be fun to bounce off something that grew out of this. I'll post a link to Matt's response here when he puts it up.

Film Sketch- Leon part 2

After posting the last three images, I was called out by fellow board member Matt Strackbein for not having any guns in the paintings based on the film. I'm not sure that this is as over the top as he may have wanted but it was the image that I wanted to do. The tense nature of the mixed morality of the scene leading to a sense of relief after the shot is fired. Only to push the boundry again when Portman's character requests to give it a go with real bullets.
