ART early work
 

This thread has work that I did previous to the Mid-Period work here:
ART Mid-Period Work

...and that work preceeds my current work:
ART New Work

ART... i adore the intricacies of the detail... thank you for posting the large version as well...

wll take ma a while to take it all in... *warm smile*... good stuff...

very nice

Hooray!! more ART art!!

holy cow

I would love to have a conversation with you about this art piece. :)

How is the bull representative of the universe in a state of contraction?

What materials did you use? What inspired the concept?

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks all for the comments.

Plummie, I believe art stands on its own without explanation, since each person sees things in his or her own way. Personal interpretations are fun. I just started working with no intention and this is how it turned out...

It's pen and ink on paper.

That's awesome. I love it.

Very impressive.

sexy!

thats some good stuff:)

reminds me of cunni...cunni.....cunnilingus.

I am in definite awe of your work. The detail is amazing, thanks for sharing!

Thanks, all, for the comments!
It's always good to be here and to show work.

Besides being great contributors, you guys are a great audience!

ART, I like what you said about art being as intimate as what people choose to see... I wish more people felt that way. When I make something, my reasons for doing so and meanings behind it die end as soon as someone else sees it... I hate when people ask me to explain my art, because I don't want to influence thier personal thoughts. In many ways, to me, art is more personal for the viewer than the creator. Matthew Barney excluded :)

great detail, each picture is almost as a mural...

Wow how do you do those detailed regions? Wow man it looks great.

Thanks.

The above are done with kohinoor black ink and rapidograph drawing pens, points 000 to 0.

The ones I'll post next are done with crow quill pens and india ink.

im going to have to leave a small relpy

these peices of art are driving me insane, i cant look at them for more than a few seconds without turning away. the vision is too vast

what you have here is true art, please post more

thanks, this stuff is from back in the day. most of it is gone into collections. sometimes I think of at least getting a hold of the collectors for photos or something. but I don't really hold on too hard to stuff from the past. this is what I have documented from that series - at this point anyway.

Very cool, very intricate detail.

Wow...freaky yet...intensive at the same time

Amazingly nice work, Art! Very detailed inks that flow nicely into the larger picture without distraction from either. Each small work seamlessly becomes part of the vision. I found them to be very intense, also.

Many Thanks,

Wow, if it means anything to you, I think that's some good stuff :)
I'm glad that you're not just a guy with ART in his name for nothing!

i think one word will sum up all my thoughts.... wow....

Thanks folks.
I like making points!

Beautiful. Truly beautiful, vast, impressive, intense, nothing, everything, you, me, ground, wind, water, fire, brimstone...
Thanks.

sure thing- guess I paid in brain cells for those...hope they move you...that's what they're for.

ART - you are an amazing artist. I've never seen your work, Im glad I have now

Damn Art!!!

Damn good ART!!!

Really, you must have the patience of Job to be able to produce such intricate pieces of pointillism. I dearly love pen and ink as a medium and your pieces remind me why I do.

Hey ARTelevision i dont know much about art and those things, but i know what i like and i think ur images are really great u definitely have a lot of talent

great stuff Art...........keep 'em comin' and thanx for showing us a part of you.

thanks again folks.
I'm thinking I may do some new 2-dimensional work here at the new place...

Like everyone else has said, these are absolutely amazing! The amount of detail you put into your work is just... amazing! Do you mind if I print out a copy so that I can look at them in comfort without having to press my nose against my computer monitor?

If I minded I wouldn't have posted them.
Thanks...
