MetalPSI Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Very nice. I'm a fan of acrylic myself. Not to use, but to look at. I don't art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybes Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Very nice. I'm a fan of acrylic myself. Not to use, but to look at. I don't art. Thanks! Acrylic is a little stickier than the India ink I'm used to but it's fun to try new things from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyQuinn Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) I've been watching this thread and, wow! So much talent!! I am moving from my apartment and found some old stuff hidden away, so I am posting my attempt at a watercolour owl I did about 4 yrs ago. Please don't laugh at him.

Mio Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I just heard yesterday that two of my paintings from earlier this year were accepted to the 1-14 August exhibition in Vancouver held by the Federation of Canadian Artists. If anyone is in Vancouver during that time, feel free to check them out! This exhibition is called "Small, Smaller, Smallest" and features small artworks. Mine are 8 x 10s (below). It is the first time I will exhibit physical artworks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kthuluu Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm not able to do pull it off quite like that anymore. I've blown out the tendons on my right hand and had a minor stroke. Both of which affect my drawing ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mio Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Thanks, guys. www.gilmourfineart.com if you want to see my other stuff. I have only been painting for four years in my free time, so the inventory there is a bit small. Pardon me spamming, but will trade paintings for comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kthuluu Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Mio, that is some fine looking work. I love the prairie girl. I always wanted to paint, but was never able to pull it off. I have major respect for anyone that can though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gino2paulus2 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 My folks brought up an old box of my stuff. Much to my surprise they had kept the, "comics" my friends and I drew when we were 10 years old. I apparently wasn't against drawing violence or using curse words at the time. If you are curious, my drawing skills never really advanced past this state Still love me some funny books though!! Here is #1 and its content...man this stuff was so much fun at the time... Then began issue #2 which I started drawing but didn't complete...Maybe I had the realization that my career wasn't going anywhere and thats all folks, I won't bore you with more...nice to take a trip down memory lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
