The Art Thread

[Lozzer]

The only art I've had, a drawing I did of the local...that now hangs in the local...I do try and go see it most days though

It's important to appreciate art regularly and frequently

I have an Andy Goldsworthy original bought many years ago.
Not at home yet to post a picture.
He is not dead yet so prices may still be low?

 

[Lavazza]

bugger me that's impressive, never seen that before, is he the only painter to paint in this way for selfies?

I'm not aware of any other artist who uses that technique for self portraits. It's certainly difficult, and the end result is impressive, more so than my photo would suggest.
I've met the artist, and a very nice chap he is too.

That's a really good composition, you have a talent there.

Some sketches I did way back in the '80s after watching 'Bladerunner' and 'Tron'...

Hmm. So is it only me that pins up old Razzle centrefolds, then?

Does laminating them count .....

Makes a decent watch stand as well lol. I think we have an official forum arts and crafts expert!

Only out of the necessity of preserving them.

Naturally, I mean those garages are damp places after all

Keep missing the wankpot?

Mine were all stuck together which made pinning up impossible.

After a while, yes.

My wankpot runneth'd over.

In later years he concentrated on pencil drawings. I'm sure some of our Scottish members will recognise the locations. Sorry for the angles I was trying to avoid reflections.

Never been good at drawing, other than the curtains but now I have blinds, so another wasted talent.
I used to watch the other kids at school draw trying to get tips but I could never work out whether they knew what they were going to draw from the start or did it just evolve as they went on. Like these bikes for example. Did you know the shape beforehand and then filled in the detail or did you know the 'look and feel' straight away? It's always amazed me.

My dad’s effort when he was a teenager...
