new painting; general debauchery

[danschank]

as a little challenge to myself, i decided to whip up an entire painting in two sessions. just a little guy. it was a worthwhile little experiment, i guess. it's certainly not the nicest thing i've ever made, but whatever...

[danschank]

how about "herr dorkenweiler"?

[dystempted]

That's an extraordinary piece, I say.

thanks

didn't mean to sound down on it necessarily... i'm kinda at a crossroads, i guess. starting to feel like my old tricks are "old tricks", maybe?

i've got another, much more involved piece that i'll be finishing over the next day or two (all that's left might be described as "hard labor"... the fun part is pretty much over), and then i'm probably gonna start re-evaluating things a bit, mixin' it up, etc.

when things get uncertain... that's usually the fun part, right?

yo Dan!

i've always dug your sense of color and the choices you make for any of your pieces....

and i'm diggin' this palette like an ol' soul record! or actually, diggin' it like a byobu from the Edo Period....

dude you should post some art too!

[danschank]

...and i should spend some more time lookin' at byobus from the edo period...

ahhh..if only...

[ironchefpinoy]

i was actually producing things at the moment. been in a kind of creative doldrums. hopefully a trip to the (c)Murakami exhibition at the Geffen will jumpstart something in me.

re: Edo period. any period, really.

oh...and the ukiyo-e. particularly the more macabre themed images that use a darker palette with splashes of a bright red (though your reds are much more muted). this dude is dope: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi.

Which one are you in the picture???

[bluebellrock]

he's the muscular one.

don't listen to mr. anonymous, hahaha

i'm in the brown plaid (and the avatar). my youngest sister is directly above me, and her BF is on top of her. my cousin can be seen unfortunately close to my butt.

When I first looked, I thought that she was biting you.

I assume you're the one in the checkered shirt

Human pyramids are far too complex, especially when there's beer involved.

More importantly, your art work never fails to amaze me. When's the coffee table book coming out?

yep, that's me

[danschank]

thanks for the kindliness!
