Show your art

Here is some of my art from this year (oldest to most recent), the camera really takes some of the detail, color and value away.

Great stuff!  Sadly the best KC art I have ever done are these crappy backdrops from a 1992 paper-cutout home video.    Here's the crummy screeencaps from VHS...


Skyline from Waterworks Park:

Closeup of skyline -- some recognizable buildings in there surprisingly:

Train tracks under Union Station (and a horrible display of perspective):

(Given the presumed state in 1992, the movie ends with Union Station getting torn down.)

btw, I forgot to mention that this work had been stolen by a student at school, who also stole another piece of art from our classroom (as well as a piece of equipment), and he gave them all back after the teacher and assistant principals interrogated him.

Very nice work! Lots of good detail there, that took some time.

I'm not an artist but a designer.  I designed this end table for school in 2003.  Since the new Transformers movie is coming out, heres a few pics of my Transformer end table.  Its made from cold rolled steel laser cut and welded. The last pic is of the poster we had to design to accompany the furniture piece.



And here is a 5 minute sketch I did of the old primate structure at the Kansas City Zoo, I did this in 1999!  Thats almost ten years ago! Wow.

I like your shuttlecock painting Velvetelvis.  I like how the Nelson is just a distant feature behind the giant shuttlecock.  :D

Here's a result of my incompetent, half-assed two hours spent with Adobe Illustrator tonight. It includes elements of both daytime and nighttime, and also urbanesque skyscrapers set atop a rural plain.
