Love this image\style of painting by Van Gogh and the song inspired by it by McClean.

Omg, amazing detail! I would not have the patience, kudos to you!

Yes, for sure, Sonic! Wow, very good pick up, definite Reiniger influence, there. Super! Looks like an interesting game, too.

Nice! I looked, but couldn't see in the photo, nice job in picking it up, Sloane!

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed.

Wowza is right! I like the way the model's left hand was done, with the flowers, etc. I don't know how practical it would be in real life, but would probably come out very nice as an accent in some minimalist black and white photography...or maybe colorized, as focus in a photo.

Oh, how beautiful Thank you for posting.

Gorgeous

Thanks Lily :)
Here's another old piece I did, again its pixel art, inspired by the background work of Gustav Tennegren who worked on Disneys Pinnochio. Love his work.

Two of my favorite works by Jack Vettriano:

"Dance Me to the End of Love"

[link to bertc.com]

"The Singing Butler"

[link to www.vettriano-art.com]

Absolutely amazing! I would buy a print of this. If you don't sell some of your work in prints, you should, IMO!

Posting an Arthur Rackham image i like. There were 3 key fantasy artists from the early 1900's(him, Kay Nielson and Edmund Dulac) that inspired a generation of fantasy artists to come.

"FUCK BABYLON!" is a "flipped" painting, starting with the Iran revolts of 2009, the painting was flipped and reworked with images of the Greek protests, again flipped to paint Sierra Leone's protests, finally ending at the imagery seen here, representing a "nowhere to run, nowhere to hide" subject with the vestiges and artifact of previous victims of worldwide governmental abuses as an inescapable cave. It is a frustrating painting because of the frustrating present.
oil on canvas 81x52

GOMxCTHULU... is soon to be flipped to start on the event at Fukushima, Japan which is now reading 20x higher rad levels than Chernobyl did, turning this towards painting documenting the fuck-ups of exploratory earth rape in light terms. With possible Fort Calhoun Nuclear reactor flooding in the US this may lead to more flips. oil on canvas 72x60

It was a great game, it has received an average score of 8.7/10 from 1500 users [link to www.gamespot.com]

Goes to show, it's not always about amazing graphics or shooting everything that moves. It CAN just be about original atmosphere and clever puzzles.

I love this Paler - just so fun and whimsical. Want to jump right into that world.

All of the contributions are pure pleasure to see - I love learning about art - but this is the first I've been able to take it in every day!

Thank you thank you everyone :)

I live in the Southwest surrounded by wonderful Native American culture and art.

This is 'Day of Mourning'.

Cool image, I like how a lot of images, adverts etc have like visible energy in their imagery these days. Have people noticed this? I've only really noticed this myself in the last 3 or 4 years .

Are artists awakened to the fact that energy exists all around us or is it just because it looks cool and makes an image seem more alive/dynamic following a trend set by others. I guess it's a bit of both,

I changed it, went with the teal of the middle kimono [link to www.godlikeproductions.com]

Like the dancing ones in this: [link to ricardofx.deviantart.com]

I'd agree to a bit of both, it's cool and if you're a Lightworker then you believe in the awakening that's happening all over.

Simply gorgeous!

I love to visit this thread. Thanks everybody for all the awesome work.

Here's a link to an installation. She likes to use negative space quite a bit, too. Here's a blurb (and then the link)

"After the Celestial Axe is a sculpture with 27 mirrored surfaces that reveals a magical, multi-planar universe. As you walk through the forest, you encounter the sculpture shining mysteriously and brightly through the trees. The sculpture is comprised of a moss-covered fallen oak tree sliced up by a Celestial Axe and covered in layered frothy mirror fragments, shaped and arranged with a high degree of optical awareness and purpose. The artwork shows the aftermath of an event of incomprehensible proportions – an Axe that fell mysteriously from the skies, leaving a sparkling residue of starry formations. When seen from afar, these reflective arrangements sparkle in the sun; but when examined more closely, they reflect, refract, expand and transform the environment and the viewer. How or why the Celestial Axe fell is a part of a hidden narrative."

LOL! Good stuff!

Thanks for sharing, Arbrefeu. Your work is very intense, a lot of emotion comes through for me. I think it's great that you are able to translate emotion through art. My favorite is:

I like the way that the foreground "pops" in this one, and the composition.

Very nice!

These are by two of my favorite fantasy artists, Brian Froud and David Delamare. I own a few pieces by the third artist, Michael Price:

Vincent van Gogh

Another two favorite artists, Todd Yeager and Brian Dettmer:

I like one or two of Todd Yeager's older scenic oil paintings...and I would love to have one of Brian Dettmer's books, they are incredible, IMO...he takes old books and carefully cuts out parts to make sculptures, turns them into something entirely new and interesting.

Thank you to you Sloane, for sharing! Beautiful piece, serene and haunting.

Thought of this trailer for a film:
