Your Art, amateur or professional

[Ironrose]

The darkroom is a close space. Plus, it's dark.
Some more pics I've been working on, slowly...

 

[Ligrotesque]

Nice. I appreciate the linear, claustrophobic, hyper-detailed focus. That is something I have always admired.

Do you work black on white, white on black either white ink or scratchboard, or both?

I decided to self publish my first novella. Thank you Maria B. and Robert Adam Gilmour to permit me to use their art to help create mine.

Glad you decided to self-publish it, Carlos!

Glad you've decided to self-publish it, Carlos!

The synopsis sounds interesting, Carlos. Any plans to publish the novella as a book? My poor eyes don't fare well reading from a screen, even with my eyeglasses. If you don't mind my asking, is it more affordable to self publish in an electronic format? It seems so, but I'm curious to know none the less.

I haven´t even tried to pursue the physical format. I have to look at it. With ebook self publication, they take the money from you only if you sell something. I think I would have to pay upfront to get some copies printed. I don´t know if I can do it on demand. Anyway, thanks for your interest!

Thanks a lot, Maria!

You're welcome, Carlos. Best of luck with the ebook. If it becomes available in print, I'll purchase a copy for sure. I believe that, if possible, we should try to support fellow TLO members with their artistic endeavours, in whatever form they come.

Glad to see an art thread going on. Here's a few of mine, all done on paper, canvas or board:

Man, this is insanely good. Do you have a website where I can find more of this stuff?

 

[Rosemary]

I drew a portrait of Mr Ligotti for a fanzine project.

I used pencils on paper and made some corrections on Krita (digital painting program).

 

[Ironrose]

I had a good drawing day today. Here are the two best ones.

 

[Souphead]

Nice! The first one reminds me of Beksinski.

 

[Ironrose]

Thanks. I'd never heard of Beksinski (I think) but now I have. Very interesting.

 

[Grimalkin]

Tried to post some of my recent art yesterday and lost it all.

 

[Ironrose]

A couple more pics from a recent darkroom session.

Apologies for the tardy response. I don't have a website, but most of my art can be viewed at GrimalkinArt@facebook.com. Thanks for your comment, too.

Here's to the Blue Moon coming May 31st

I had a good drawing day today. Here are the two best ones.

They’re genuinely very original. I especially liked the first drawing, but the second one carries echoes of Schiele, even of certain expressionist sketches, in a way that almost feels cinematic. There’s real talent here.

Thanks! I also see Schiele in my drawings. I've been working at this for a while. (For ten years in my thirties, the 1990s, and now again for two years in my retirement. I am trying to improve all the time. My drawing mates can't seem to figure that out...)
