    Great thread! Hope more people chime in a show us off their craftsmanship.

    Personally I do a lot of visual arts stuff, mostly photography ( thats what I'm best at IMO), but also large paintings, working on a 17x7 foot canvas splatter painting right now.

    Working on a screenplay (30 pages in right now), and I hope to make that into a film with some money my step mum left me.

    Also, I sketch a bit in journals from time to time, bit of clay work, painted a couch in zebra stripes, even painted with a bloody nose once!

    Anyway, you probably want to see some pictures, but I'm afraid I don't have much space on here, so I'll upload some of them to deviant art.

    Hello,

    I believe that displaying artwork is a great way to meet talented people and show others your own abilities. I've been an artist for as long as I can remember, and I feel blessed every day to have the skills that I was born with. Below I've attached a few of my favorite drawings.

    The first is a sketch composition for a wall mural in Ocean City, MD. The client wanted a beach scene with palm trees and flamingos, so I found an old picture I had taken and printed in on a sheet of paper. Then using pen and pastels, I added the trees, hills, flamingos, and other elements to show what the final mural would look like. The dark spot on the blinds was from a spill, and the mural has been up for a few months, i'll post pics when i locate them.

    The last 2 are sketches of a boat I would like to build one day. The first sketch was done freehand with a ballpoint pen, and the composition below the sketch was done in photoshop. I scanned all my original pen sketches (i have almost 100) and chose the ones I wanted to display, then using a tablet I added color and contrast to complete the page.

    Hope you enjoy !
    -Zack

    2 watercolors

    1 very, very, very large diptych in oil and glaze.

    Sfumato, indeed.

    The photos don't do justice

    wow that is really awesome stuff. The amount of emotion and energy in your drawings is incredible. I especially love how the strokes evoke a feeling of movement and speed. I think i've seen some of your work in the product design forums?

    Anthony - I am thoroughly and happily impressed. The wooden buck isn't just a nice touch... practically an epiphany.

    I could go on with 1000 words, but, why would spoil such pictures that do all the talking to all that view them?

    Thanks so much for the compliments. They are sincerely appreciated and really get me fired up to do some more work, economy be damned! ;)

    You might have seen some of my design on a few forums Digitec. I used to go to Car Design News and Concept art.org often. I haven't posted much new work since most of my sidejobs in design have NDA's and I can't show anything.

    I'm glad you liked my sculpture Wax. It was a lot of fun to try and capture the essence of Ferrari and coachbuilding n a non literal way.

    Thank you Bushwhacker. I have been an admirer of your work as well. Unfortunately I went to the Cleveland Inst. of Art instead of ACCD. In hindsight it was a bad decision but back in '89 when I was a senior in high school there wasn't much info available to make a good decision. Such is life.

    I have more info and images on my website at www.hotshoestudios.com for anyone that wants to take a look.

    Fantastic, I'm really loving where this thread is going!

    I know we have more designers out there who have work of theirs to show as well as people who just paint for fun. Interior design and architecture counts also! Whatever you can put down on paper counts, so let's keep it going!

    Thank you very much!

    Yes, if you went by the art tent you most likely did. It's hard to capture the piece in photos. The "warehouse" is a private collection in South Florida.

    That car is a Vignale bodied 1951 212 Export. It is an amazing sculpture in its' own right.

    Awesome work Grant. I especially like the reflection pieces.

    That is also a beautiful painting DiCenzo and Branko's sculpture is great. I have a new found respect for sculptors after seeing first hand how time consuming it can be.

    This thread is very uplifting in a dreary time. I know how difficult it is to be a full time artist and still feed your family in the best of times let alone the mess we are in now. Most of us are relegated to having a "real" job during the day and trying to squeeze our art in our "spare" time (yeah, like I have any of that!). I'm sure I can speak for all of you when I say that if money were no object we'd still be creating art. Heck, if I won the Powerball I'd just have a massive studio to spend all my time creating art simply for the love of it. I'd give everything away for free to deserving Ferraristi who I know would enjoy it.
