that one's called baby. my friend lance did it. he is a good painter. it's really big. it's a big scary baby eating things. it loks different every time i look at it. i will post more art after i get rid of some photos on the camera. i started this thread cuzza people asking beth about her paintings on the other thread. my paintings don't hang in our house cuz rufus is kinda scared of them.

We bought a print of this and another one from a photographer who was losing his studio when 111 First St. in Jersey City was being shut down.

Much nicer in person, especially because he uses unsual printing technique and paper.

I'd have to dig around on Flickr, but there's a painting from my aunt and an original Snoopy by Schulz, both of which I'm deeply proud of...

scott, is yer friend perchance named Gully Jimson?

It's taking all my willpower not to photoshop a "STALKER!" word balloon into jel's painting.

no, his name is lance! you can click on his web-site, but there are only two little paintings on it. his stuff is amazing. i can't even begin to describe all the work he's done. just a massive output. he doesn't like to show or sell it though. he went to the academy in philly.

these are ones that we have to put away too cuz rufus is scared of them. sometimes when drunk i get inspired to paint celebrity portraits. gwyneth paltrow and kate winslet bookend brad pitt and, um, i forget.

I do not now feel that I can post to this thread because I don't have any original art, just boring framed posters and stuff. Bah.

But Rufus sure looks like he's got an artistic streak. Has the snowman eaten a whirlwind?

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 21 January 2007 20:46 (nineteen years ago)

can you see the big baby in lance's painting up top? it's kinda hard to see at first. it's got big hands and it's gobbling stuff up and it's eyes are all squinty. it's so 3-D in real life. layers and layers.

I posted it on the Tufte thread. They have an editorial board which reviews posts and only accepts 40% of them, so who knows. It may have been an imposition.

I actually have these on my wall:

I've had them for years and have no plans to get rid of them. Jesus came from a thrift store and Elvis came from a guy on the side of the road who sold velvet paintings. The wife is thoroughly creeped out by Jesus so we can't put him anywhere she'll see him regularly.

This was in my grandparent's living room and I always loved it as a child. It's a little tacky, but pretty neat because it is a mosaic of tiny colored pebbles. When my grandfather passed away, my mom asked if there was anything of his that I wanted, and I said "the Japanese pebble mosaic."

Somewhere I have a painting that was an 18th birthday present: a friend commissioned his sister to paint it for me. I really should dig it out and put it on the wall. It's of an eye.

Archel, I love your sister's paintings.

I've loved Edward Tufte since I saw that the front cover of one of his books is a train path diagram. Which I have posted before - because googling the phrase brings up very few results, and one of them is this.

It could be. I'm actually looking at that album cover for the first time right now and it looks very similar. I think she gave us those photos around the same time that it was released. I'll have to ask her.

The pebble mosaic is about 2'x3' or maybe a little more, and it weighs a freakin' ton.

My wife is a big fan of Mary Blair's work (I like it too). That tapestry was available for a while at bargain basement prices on the Disney store site. It was so inexpensive that we almost bought a second one after my son tore up the tassles (grrrrr!).

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Friday, 26 January 2007 17:45 (nineteen years ago)

The McKinley one reminds me of a piece that a former roommate had up in the kitchen of our apartment (sadly, no photo). It was a needlepoint or cross-stich rendering of St. Francis of Assisi in the forest with the little animals, except that a friend had taken a black magic marker and altered St. Francis so that he had an Abraham Lincoln hat and beard. It looked like Honest Abe in biblical robes in the forest surrounded by cute little animals. Always made me smile!

― Matt Olken (Moodles), Friday, 26 January 2007 17:48 (nineteen years ago)

Haha Matt that Vonnegut thing! I wondered about the choice of painting Prince Charles in a bearskin hat looking over his left shoulder while prancing along with Ubu-like curled arms -- and then I saw what it was probably supposed to be! Or is the ambiguity deliberate?

(Girl's right arm = nose; breast = stiff upper lip; bum = arms; legs = legs)

― The Vintner's Lipogram (OleM), Friday, 26 January 2007 18:03 (nineteen years ago)

The double image thing never occurred to me, but I can kind of see it. That one was really hard for me to photograph because it is pretty small, so the effects of the flash were much worse than on some of the larger ones. I think without the glare of the flash (and all the fingerprint smudges) it would look more obviously like a naked woman.

― Matt Olken (Moodles), Friday, 26 January 2007 18:08 (nineteen years ago)

Probably yeah, easier to see top half as undisturbed part as picture and interpreting it as head or something.

Anyway, hope I haven't ruined it for you ;)

― The Vintner's Lipogram (OleM), Friday, 26 January 2007 18:11 (nineteen years ago)

Also, Matt, well done on the reflection on that French bike photo: it's right where the bike's lamp could be!

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 26 January 2007 18:42 (nineteen years ago)

I only see the naked lady.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 26 January 2007 19:27 (nineteen years ago)

Try again Thermo. Read my instructions. At first, ignore lower half of picture and all I say of it.

After, when you can switch at will, you are allowed to see only naked lady.

― The Vintner's Lipogram (OleM), Friday, 26 January 2007 19:50 (nineteen years ago)

(probably my first seeing of it was due to it looking like cartoon/comicstripthing, and pixelslim necks are regular in those, pixelslim waists less so)

I really like esoJim's paintings as well! The "cat" comment made me look upthread and roffle a bit, and also see the middle one in the next one as FISH. The right one is Little My as drawn by an acolyte of Neil Gaiman, but then I am drunk.

Any chance of a pic of the one with the lamp without the lamp, Jim?
