Quote - > Quote - > Quote - oh yeah I love Corben and Manara and that ilk, really very informative to my art early on... Am still a great admirer of their work. As far as myself being a professional, I've managed to sell quite a bit of my ceramic sculpture through the gallery venue and have worked professionally as a production artist(?) for Heath Ceramics in the bay area.
I'm actually putting together a weebly site of my work but have kind of stalled out on uploading any thing more recent than my work up to 10 years ago, If you want to check it out it's here...
Hesitant to show people this site because I have yet to upload the work that I am most proud of (in particular my later sculpture and vessel work), in other words it's a WIP and should be considered such. At this point there's only 18 images there and I have about 20 or so more to add, not including my more recent obsession with Poser and 3d. Warning, my early work has a tendency to be a bit, ummm, abject or "biologically bizarre" I guess.
"I really wish I had never stopped photographing and drawing/painting. Damn Poser killed all that for me and having lost it in the past 20 years I just can't seem to find the MUSE for those methods of art creation (which is why I can no longer call what I do ART or myself an Artist). :("
I can understand this, most Poser art I'm frankly sceptical of... My own included. That's why I spend most of my time trying to improve my modeling and other related cg skills. Making Poser imagery is fun but I think the creative meat and potatoes of it is self made content. Perhaps something to consider? Have to admit that CG is a very unintuative medium, there's a lot of tech involved and to learn before any artistic talent can begin to shine through. And the aging thing does have a way of softening the drive, whatever those motivations may be, to be agressively productive.
Some nice works. I can see the time reference of the works. In fact the excerpt from FILTH Magazine looks quite familiar and I can't help feeling I either still have the magazine or the piece gutted from it. Due to Purple Haze and Afgani Black and SinSema and Pink Floyd and Iron Butterfly and the likes, Salubrious washed down with dark beer and Jack along with the lousy taste of morning after tobacco mouth, I have no freaking memory cells for important stuff like my name and the names of others, money, sequences, numbers and anything and everything TECH. Sucks. Feel what its like to be in a COMA. But pictures, the food of life for my entire life, I rarely forget.
I relate to your problem with organizing and posting older works or even newer works. I bought a good scanner and was going to scan, scan, scan all my old photogrphy and drawings to a web site but for some reason after the fisrt few 20 or so old photos, never got it done. Too tedious and if it is tedious and no fun it don't get done. My mind (lessness) wanders and I am onto something else even as meaningless as spinning more Poser morph dials! LOL
I did love your porcelain Cerial bowl too. Great. If the new stuff or most of the old stuff is like that I can't wait to see it. Reminds me of some of my old stuff and one of my Poser pueces did a few years ago done for the Signature Erotic Art Competition and currently up on their site:
One of the many and growing internet, brick-and-mortar and printed page venues trying to legitimize erotica as a viable art form.
where do you post your Poser images?
o.0 ? what type of site is it? Is it a gallery site or a social site?
Its a legitimate international erotic art site who have sponsored countless erotic art contests, international exhibitions and printed many erotic art books. Pretty Chi Chi from what I have read. Unfortunately none of my offerings were ever printed or included in the international traveling show.
