October 24 = gnostic rasputin moleskine paintin

Absolutely amazing work as always.
Its inspiring to see someone my age producing such quality work. I remember always seeing your work here on CA years ago and thinking goddamn you were good. And your just getting better.
Loving how deceptively simple the last painting is, lots of little details come out in the tiny brush strokes - like his cigerette. Great work man.
Keep it up

Rod- I love the palette on these drawings man.. Instantly recognizable and super delicious.. Keep on rock'n em out dude...

*tried to click a seven star rating the 10th time* Thanks for sharing!

I know my work is strange and different and I thank you all for the kind words.
It's good to know that people like this stuff I guess, considering how much great stuff there is on this forum and particularly since i'm only working with fairly archaic materials

Got some sketchbook stuff featured on the hi fructose blog, thanks to ken harman!

A few months back we took a look into an ambitious project by a young emerging artist named Rod Luff. The twenty-three year old artist lives down in Australia and has taken on the daunting task of buckling down and completing a moleskine notebook from cover to cover with sketches, miniature paintings and various studies. The response from our initial article was so overwhelmingly positive that we just had to catch up with Luff and take a look at how his progress has been going.

Just thought I'd pop in to say that I'm enjoying looking through your work. I think it's the fact they feel so personal that really appeals to me. Organic and free.

I've teamed up with the Drawing Book to sell prints! They're really nice A1 high quality Giclee limited to 15.

I desperately need to sort out the ridiculously expensive framing and shipping for some exhibitions overseas next year. Any little bit helps, and I'm offering these prints as a way to help me get there.

I'm also available for Commissions, so please email me if you're interested!

Just Click the image Below for whichever print you're interested in. You can also see zoom shots on that website!
