[PHATandy]

* IS EMO... not *IS 'A' EMO

Anyways.. cool interview, always liked is works and he defintly sounds like a cool guy. Nice find.

[obid619]

great find, man

[Main Loop]

ever so humble... a true artiste...

i wondered how come no one ever bothered to post up anything about that "day in the life of a painting" show... come on, watching coro wes shawn barber and marko all working on something was worth talking about, no?

[Diego]

Yes, it's a good reading. Awesome artist. really good interview.

[Denart]

yeap, fascinating interview
thanks wes for the insights

look deeper
and here it is!

[Main Loop]

ah.. musta missed it.. to whoever asked that question, he did use reference for that painting.. a black and white photo of the face, and a night scene of something i dont remember as a color key..

edit by jason manley: muffin if you make another attacking comment on these boards I will flat out ban you. Thanks for the time. -jm



and on to the nice things muffin has to say.................

anyways, his art is excellent, kinda makes me want to get better...

[jetpack42]

Thanks for the link.

Wes is the man. Anybody who thinks otherwise can fistfight me.

[silverslash]

after fistfighting jetpack i can whole heartedly concur that wes is indeed the man...emo or not.

[clogik]

very insightfull, i enjoyed it very much.

[Tigermilk]

Wonderful interview, indeed. Wish there where things like "Sumner Academy" at my high school too.. but there aren't.. anyway, I'm actually a small part of that interview, I'm the guy that originally wrote this line :: "My favorite artists at the moment are concept artists like Wesley Burt..." Haha, man am I ashamed.

Great interview, more of those please!

[davi]

me and wes shared a straw once.

[nacho]

i once chatted with davi, the guy who once shared a straw with wes.

[USER777]

i once read a post in a thread here on conceptart written by a guy who called himself nacho. he claimed that he once chatted with davi, the guy who once shared a straw with wes.

[cotron]

one time wes winked at me and it gave me butterflies in my tummy and my pants didn't fit right for a few minutes...

-cool link though, thanks for postin it

[John]

I live in the same country as the guy who once chatted with davi who once shared a straw with wes.

The interview is dope, and Wesley's art speaks for itself. Anyone who thinks or says otherwise first has to fistfight Jetpack and then beat my Snake 2 Highscore on my Nokia cellphone. Which is broken. That or beat me in a beer drinking contest. (I'm german, remember what they say about our beer? And our beer drinking ability? All true.)
Wes is still a emo, but that's ok, because i say so.

[Balooga]

Great interview. Without a doubt his rendering skills are amazing, but am I the only one who's noticed that he's not very good at drawing hands?

[cotron]

but am I the only one who's noticed that he's not very good at drawing hands?

????!

[Red_Rook]

heh, very cool interview


and balooga

????!

cody took the words out of my mouth

[arghmisfit]

good interview..

i think that wes concentrates more on faces and other elements his sketchs and leaves the hands unfinished lots (which looks good imo) but when he actually does fully work hands they're outstanding

keep it up wes.. looking forward to the next update!

[Balooga]

Well, sorry to say this, but even great artists are not beyond criticism. His hands (and feet as well, actually) are definitely not up to par with the amazing quality of the rest of his art. Like arghmisfit said, Wes concentrates too much on faces, and looking through his sketchbook, I definitely get the feeling that he tries his best to avoid drawing hands and feet.

I'd just like to say that I'm a big Wes fan, so please don't hate me people! lol

[wes9000]

emo? what, cause i havent had a haircut in a few months? you dont know me.

wish i could have read what themuffinman had to say.


say what you will balooga, but know that the people on this forum only see maybe 5% of the stuff i do. and for the most part its just random sketchbook stuff. i dont always feel the need to render out everything in my sketchbook.

thanks for the comments guys, was suprised to see this show up

[Jason Manley]

muffin was simply being abrasive. There are people here that understood how lucky they are that artists of your skill participate on these boards.

If other people do not start being respectful of each other here on the boards i am going to let marko and andrew begin the big banning purge they have been itching to do. for now the war dogs are leashed.

that was a great interview wes. I am sure a lot of people will enjoy it.

[arghmisfit]

who doesn't concentrate on faces once and a while.?

[bRyaN]

Dope!

[silverslash]

who doesn't concentrate on faces once and a while.?

jackson pollock.

[John]

Haha, most people i know like to randomly label ppl as emo. It's kind of an inside joke here, i guess maybe it's different in america.

i am going to let marko and andrew begin the big banning purge they have been itching to do.

Uh Oh.

As for the hands, ????!
Fistfight + beerdrinking contest?
