Any artists out there?
I'm curious to see if there are any other visual artists on MTBNJ. I went to school for art, and eventually became a HS Art Teacher. I never lost my passion for creating art, and look for every opportunity to gain exposure. I though this could be a thread for people to share their artwork. Post up!!

Great thread, Brian. And really nice work! Iv'e checked out your stuff before on the interwebs. I am a fan fo sure.

I went to art school as well, University of the Arts in Philly. Illustration and painting major. Somehow I ended up a graphic designer a few years after, eventhough I loathed computers while in school.

Most of my painting/drawing stuff I either no longer own or is in my parents attic. I'll have to dig up photos of some of my old work...

My girlfriend, Megatron however is an extremely talented painter. POST UP, MEGATRON!
 
wow that is some good stuff.

i'm a total hack but paint sometimes. i went to music school for my undergrad and picked up painting from artist friends when i couldn't make noise. so now i just do it occasionally but really like it. most of the stuff i've done i don't own, i will give stuff away as gifts or whatever. these are the only two i own now, purely because i did them for myself.

the first is from my first drive cross country with a buddy of mine. we drove through arches and decided to pull over and camp on the side of a random local road. it was a good fun night. right before it got so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, these little puffy clouds (thanks orb) rolled through and the canyon became this blood red/black against a midnight blue with little lined up lit-up clouds. in our state of mind at the time it was an awesome sight. decided at some point to paint it. acrylic on canvas.

Now that my boys are a little older I have some time to doodle again :D

Thanks Brian! Yes I have shown work in group shows when I had the opportunity. I'd like to do more but need to make time to generate more work. Have you shown your work? Your characters are great are they people you know?

I can't draw a stick figure, but drawing and other artwork really blow my mind. I've always been jealous of this talent!

Yeah, I've been in a number of groups shows (still hoping to do a solo show in the next year or so). The characters are mostly based off of sketches that I have done, and then developed into 3dimensional works.
