sweet jesus you are bizarre :waves:

**Lynchpin** · July 24th, 2004, 01:11 PM

bizarre indeed, i like the "i am rock'n roll one" cool shit

**brkofdon** · July 24th, 2004, 07:57 PM

these are pretty fun! very artsy. definetly has some deeper meanings to these illustrations/sketches...

not to much to crit, since it all so stylistic and abstract/surreal...good job overall. well maybe you have some anatomy issues here n there but a lot of it seems like you wanted things to be skewed and distorted, which is fine.

good job nice full load for your first post...keep it up!

....very bizarre.....

o and what mediums are you using?

**Cybergig** · July 24th, 2004, 08:20 PM

art was always ment to express your emitions. I love your work.. ahhahha

**clogik** · July 24th, 2004, 08:58 PM

this stuff is very powerful, political, and pretty effed up! i like that when pigs fly drawing the best, has some dark humor to it.

**young paddy1** · July 30th, 2004, 05:54 AM

you're one screwed up hairless monkey

, weird but strangely likeable out of all of them I like singing in the rain and test tube baby the best, dunno why they're just very good.

Pretty typical images for a 15 y.o., Oh! Death! Oh! BADNESS! Oh! Rebellion! OH! Playing with poop! What a naughty boy am I!

Apart from stream-of-consciousness sketching, some of it shows promise, and you are definitely creative. Keep that part, for sure. If you SLOW DOWN, and try to understand HOW LIGHT PLAYS ON FORM, HOW LIGHT MAKES FORM, you will advance rapidly. Remember that how you render the shadows, even when using graphite, and especially when using graphite (it has little which can mattch the subtlety it can achieve), contributes more to the final effect than the lit areas. This is because value models form.

Get some better-quality paper (Hell, get some really good paper!), pencils with a range of hardnesses, like 2H, HB, 2B, 4B and 6B, a good sharpener (or better, a razor utility knife with the blades you break off to renew), and give yourself time to work. I bet you could make something absolutely awesome.

There is a Brague Drawing thread on another post here. You might want to check it out. (Yes I am trying to turn you to the Light side of the Force!!) Whatever you do, you deserve to get some better materials for your work. Good luck, and good skill.

**Jokisalo** · November 9th, 2004, 04:12 AM

man you are sick! I love you.
post some sick stuff more!!

**Slash** · November 9th, 2004, 06:12 PM

Good to see that you are keeping the madness rolling. I`ll drink to that!

**Sanby** · November 9th, 2004, 08:01 PM

Yeah, pretty freaky stuff. Still, I love it. My favs are the dude playing guitar (sweet) and the nazi/american flag (the idea is brilliant, and it is so true)

Hey Bizarre--Sorry for the delay in getting back to ya. Overall, the pics have a disturbing quality about them by way of subject matter, line quality and related quotes. I'll explain:
The subject matter concerned me b/c of its ambiguous sexual nature like "come on barbie" which looks like "came on Barbie" ,a kind of cross gender figure with a beard and tits. Same thing w/ "I'm too sexy". The genital regions in some of the pics are heavily darkened which underlies something dark goin on there."stranger than candy" has a child's head right where the genital region is and the whole area is the darkest area in the piece and suggests the kid is giving the clown a hummer. Very disturbing. The males in your pics are very threatening especially "Scary Larry", "Frank " and "Pooky the Clown" plus they're standing in front of height markers signifying mug shots, that they have done something "wrong." Some kind of criminal activity.
The line quality suggests that there is alot of negative emotion goin on by means of its application. You're not just simply shading the pieces the way artists are "traditionally" trained to do. An example is the two pager w/ the word school under it, in your thread. Haunting is the word that its screaming to me. The eyes and mouths are blackened out which suggests a " didnt or dont want to see it" and "dont tell or speak about it" as well as the heads with zippers and laces goin across the eyes and mouths.
The quotes reflect a negative self image by the repeated use of the word "failure" and "you are worthless and nothing", coupled w/ the grimacing pain of the figures and the position of the arms covering up the face. This is a common theme amongst victims of trauma, they often feel responsible or guilty for what happened to them and some will even defend the people who victimized them with vigor.
All these things combined suggest, to me anyway, that you have something emotionally troubling going on inside you. Survivors of abuse often cant talk about what happened to them, its too painful. Art is a great way to come to terms w/ these issues initially. Creating art has a healing process about it. If this is the case in your situation, I'm here to listen and you can email me directly to discuss things(better than discussing it here). If i'm wrong, and you're creating these pics JUST for shock value, then you've accomplished what you've set out to do. Hope i didnt talk your ear off.

**hurricane** · January 12th, 2005, 11:50 AM

tickle my fancy you sick little turd

**Slash** · January 13th, 2005, 07:12 AM

No drugs? no more wendy`s? Drawings of REGULAR stuff? A BED? What the fuck happened to you man?

Whatever it was, it was probably good for you. This last piece is awesome. I dont know if its the skillz displayed here, or the bad camera conduct, either way, it looks like an old photograph of a building.

(You won`t stop drawing crasy shit even tho you quit drugs, right?)

**geertje** · January 23rd, 2005, 11:02 AM

This cathedral owns , they should build it
I like pooky and your selfdrawing soo cute!

**fukifino** · January 23rd, 2005, 03:35 PM

Hey, Bizman! First, much props on you newfound semi-sobriety. I hope you're able to stick with it.

As for your latest posts, nice shit! Really nice job on rendering that building and I dig the sort of collage post you've got. You've still got your creativity!

Keep it up!

**NoUseFrAName** · January 23rd, 2005, 04:09 PM

crikey! that's sweet dude! rock on!

-Rob

**karma militia** · January 25th, 2005, 03:33 AM

lots of good stuff in here. the more recent ones are showing off a lot more skill, but maybe less imagination.

but thats just my opinion, and we all know it doesnt count for shit.

you owe me an avitar.

the last two self-portaits are damn nice.

**IanE** · February 3rd, 2005, 03:09 PM
