Bojee's Monkey Brain (More paint less talk) Sept. 8th

[Bojee]

The reason for the title is cause I'm kinda all over the place, but I like it that way.
Gonna try to stay regular with this but we'll see how it goes.

I'm going to start this off with something I did for UK vs Seattle Drizzledome( a new interpretation of the statue of liberty) . I did lots of variations, but this is what I finally chose.



More soon.

[Sok N. Wett]

Woo Hoo I'm the first to de-virginized your thread. Awesome work with that piece for the thunderdome. Your paintings are so cool, it's always good to know one or two traditional painter. If you stay regular with your sketch thread, I'll stay regular with mine.

[Groover McNab]

Hey man, good to see you starting one of these! Nice paintings!

[Bojee]

Thanks Sok , will do, we'll keep each other honest.

Groover- thanks man, more to come soon, guys like you are the inspiration to get one started.

[Bojee]

Wahoo! I've reached the 700 hundred club. Not exactly sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

[eljay]

[Bojee]

Eljay- Thanks dude, how ya doin over on the speed painting thread?? I don't check it as often.

Thanks Kekai,
Lol, I just said basically the same thing on yours.

[mentler]

Terrific Works!!
Love your use of color ~ really like the little speedos as well!

[Bojee]

Mentler- Thank you, your very kind, I just started checking out your posts, great stuff. you must not sleep very much.

[fattkid]

Dang man, watchoo doin up so early? Good to see you got a painting thread going. I like your style. I hope you keep updating this thread, especially once you move to the East Coast. I love seeing peoples progress over time. It's inspiring, and educational. See ya at sketchgroup soon!

[Bojee]

Thanks Trevor, that's kinda why I'm starting this, don't want to lose touch with everyone I'm meeting. Make you a deal, you keep me honest with this sketchbook and I'll do the same with you. Great job on the scholarship. Can't wait to start seeing the progress.

[fattkid]

Deal!

[redehlert]

All right Eljay talked me into it. These are 20s to 25s.

Bojee - this brown paper series is so refreshing and dynamic. I mean I realllllly like these for their bold decisions on design and color and when to say when. I need to learn this myself....I tend to render everything up way too much.

Cheers!
Dave

[Bojee]

fattkid- Alright trevor we're on , I'll be checking up on you, hope to see you soon dude.

Redehlert- Dave thanks man, a little different than what you do huh? I love your stuff too man. When you going to come by the drawing session? Thanks a lot dude , it's just me having fun, I love life stuff, been trying to work more out of my head lately to balance it out. Thanks for stoping by.

[Bojee]

A couple more of the small gouache studies.

Hey Bojee,
I do intend on attending Art Not Terminal sometime this month or in the month of October. I need life art in my life.
Your work is different than what I do - mine tends to be rather anal (both figuratively and literally)! But I can tell you this much - your work is inspiring! I'll see ya tonight and perhaps your creative skillz will rub off on me so I can loosen up a bit. All I have to say is keep on drawing those things from your head...me like!
Cheers!
Dave

[Bojee]

Dave- It'd be great to see you there. These are all from life by the way, I'll be posting the other stuff soon, you'll definitely be able to tell a difference. Just getting warmed up. Thanks for the support dude, see you tonight.

Have eye injury ~ will be fine ~ have eye patch for now ~ hard to draw or paint so I checking threads. Like your quick stuff ~ I really need to do this and get a lot of work out quick ~ over think every damn thing.
Colour very red ~ assuming photo or my monitor!

[insane visions]

Im diggin it_yes indeed

Mentler- Sorry to hear about your eye, hope you get better soon. Gesture stuff is probably my favorite too, I enjoy working on the other things but I think they are the most successful. Hard for me to check the color once it's posted, I host my work at photobucket and for some reason it's not compatible with macs anymore. It might be something they are doing here too...not sure. Photobucket seems to be the common denominator cause I can't see other peoples stuff if they are hosted by photobucket either.

Rich- I'm honored, just getting started with this thing. Your all over the boards these days. Anybody take you up on your challenge?? I couldn't tell if you had 3 matches( 2 on our challenge and one on the UK's) or none? I hope it's 3. Take care dude.

[Michael78]

yeah cool cool stuff... Ive seen your gestures at the sunday life drawing session but didnt realize you had such a nice painting style too. i really like the old guy in red with long grey beard and white turbin thingy..

im glad to be back to life drawing.. it seems like the most enjoyable way to draw. Kinda like your getting a runners high but without the running

Micheal- Thanks man, you should come in on monday night sometime and try painting....lots of fun.

[Bojee]

Some recent plein air stuff in the order that i did them. I like the water tower in the first one, but I think the other two turned out a lot better.







and a couple older pieces.





this last was from a while ago but there's something I liked about it.

[Bojee]

Been working on some kong stuff, working out of my head is not my greatest strength but it's a lot of fun.







If you haven't seen the 1933 version you should check it out, great stuff. I can't wait for the peter jackson version.

[Bojee]

A few gestures, one of my favorite things to do. 1mins.











The same guy in color.
