That's really good! You've got some real talent.

Although I'm still partial to the one you did of your brother. ;)

[yermom]

you should see doleo's :D

[jk the sooner fan]

very good!

[proud gonzo]

you should see doleo's :Ddoes he like it?

[jk the sooner fan]

when i look at "amateur art", it seems the one thing most of them have a problem with is making human body parts look "life like".....i've seen alot that look like mannequins, or where everything is disproportionate

yours isnt like that - so job well done

[proud gonzo]

thanks :O :D That's actually why I did this one--i suck at hands and fabric and wanted to practice

[nmsoonergirl]

That is really good. Thanks for letting us see it.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

What were you looking at? A real, live dude? A picture? A memory? A made-up image?

:les: I GOTTA KNOW!!!

[Tailwind]

Nice! Hey, PM me your real name so I can be on the lookout for your work in a couple years.

[proud gonzo]

hehehe--that would have made it much simpler :D

[sanantoniosooner]

I love how you caught the subject just prior to a gut clutch and vomit.

The anticipation is amazing.*


*There's your missing smart butt post pg;)

[proud gonzo]

Is that Jesus?

[proud gonzo]

no.

[GottaHavePride]

It's Hans Gruber.

[oumartin]

you should do some bible inspired paintings. that painting you did has that sorta style it looks to me.. those would be great!

[Melo]

Well, I think it sucks.

;)

I really suck at not so much hands, but getting hands/arms proportionate with the rest of the body. And faces. The faces always turn out.... badly. But I can appreciate the work. Awesome job, thanks for sharing.

[dolemitesooner]

I dont like it ....I ****ING LOVE IT

couldn't get a very good picture of this one...

[C&CDean]

So, your parents send you to college for music, you take up journalism, and now you paint? Weirdo.:norm:



Nice work. Is the model for the last two Saddam or Olevet?

[proud gonzo]

technically, the painting hobby came first. I just usually don't have a lot of time for it.


and as for your guesses--neither.

Perfume.

Had Dustin Hoffman in it too.

Weird but the filming was amazing.

[Chuck Bao]

These are all incredible, PG. You have such impressive talent.

I'm still wondering what you are trying to say with the one with the big feet. ;)

[StoopTroup]

These feet are made for walkin'...

That's just what they'll do...

One of these day those feet are gonna....

[proud gonzo]

Perfume.

[sanantoniosooner]

Will this guy be smelling anything?

[proud gonzo]

probably not.


well... right now he's smelling my couch, cuz he's on the wall above it.

[sanantoniosooner]

maybe you could paint an armpit this time.

[proud gonzo]

heh--well, the one i'm working on right now is someone playing a piano, and there are no armpits

[proud gonzo]

edit: whoa. for a second that was not just a double post... it was 6 :eek:

[sanantoniosooner]

I may be seriously interested in a painting with a piano and a cello together.

[proud gonzo]

Well, if you're serious, then I'm seriously willing to work something out :D

[proud gonzo]

I moved my couch and moved the table from the dining room so I could stand on it to hang up my paintings. no more big blank wall!! hooray

Your dining room? With those eyes staring at you?

At least your collage isn't in the bedroom.

[proud gonzo]

yeah--I did most of them at home over the summer. After I did the first eye one (the one on the bottom left) my dad said it was creepy. :O :D

[dolemitesooner]

I love that....Man that is so ****ing awesome. I am jelous

This is the one Gonzo Did for me

[Chuck Bao]

I also think that they're totally awesome.

I was only questioning the subject matter.

PG, feet no!, eyes no! hands! Hands/fingers, they're cool in any room of the house.

In the risk of being seen as a total pervert, women hands (especially Asian women hands) are one of the most elegant, sexiest things in the world. The sheer beauty. The meaning. The finger dance. The religious significance in historic Buddhist statuary and paintings.

I would definitely buy your art if you did hands.

[proud gonzo]

I guess you're not talking about men's hands ;)

[Chuck Bao]

The first art class I took at the university level, the professor asked two Vietnamese female students to hold their hands out in a straight line. At first, I was thinking that old cogger is coming on to those girls. But, as those two girls stretched their hands, the back of their hand/fingers just automatically curved upwards. Then, I was like I guess it’s the job of a university art professor to notice these beautiful things in life.

These hands are hanging up in my living room. One is green glass gilded and the other is bronze.

those are awesome

[sanantoniosooner]

Have you ever attempted to use that hand in an "intimate" fashion?

[Chuck Bao]

Alrighty, ya caught me. Sometimes I just have to pick my nose. And I sometimes do have golden crusty boogers. :eek:

I feel PG's eyes staring at me now. Let's go back to PG's eye paintings.
