~They Call This Art~

[editec]

From a Classical POV something is an ART if there is a MUSE for it.

...And this, the very last painting portraying the Shuttle program, and so many memories over the last 35 years, as I toss paint around on it. I'm working on this one and its almost done.

As I am painting on this work this evening while I was listening to these guys-- what a band. Wonderful music, fabulous song so am burning the album on the mac here for a CD to hear in VEX tomorrow:

How could it already be in their collection, if you are still working on it?

Fraud.

Compared to the emerging stye of hyper-realisim, I do not see that your paintings are too realistic.

Here are some examples of hyper-realistic pencil drawings.

Paul Cadden: The hyperrealist artist recreating photographs with pencil | Mail Online

My latest is at the framers. I'll post it when I get it back. It has been sold already but I have permission for it to go on exhibition in October. Delivery will be when it's out of exhibition.

 

[Robert_Stephens]

pretty good....

1st impression is, how does one 'paint' fire....?

~S~

Good question and it was the hardest for me to learn. So, I went back to the old school color of Flake white. Not titanium or the other "weak" whites but good 'ol Flake. So much lead, but, it does tint hot, glaring, opaque white.

Then, you trick the eye away from the light source, in this case the SRB exhaust, then darken down from there outward or away from the subject light source. In this painting it worked well and was able to pull it it off as intended.

Thank you for your compliment.

This is going to be super--can't wait to see your works. Do you have any other samples you could load up here for the rest of us?

Thanks,

Yes, to PM, the painting is done, but here in the studio/apartment where I am working. I still have to do on it is to give it its pre-varnish, and then final varnish coat and ready it for shipping plus a few more touch ups here and there on it. It's far enough along I can photo it and .jpeg it for here on the site and thus the salutation on the painting itself. A normal procedure because in the past, sometimes my paintings show up in places I had no clue about. Oh well....So, I put all the legal stuff on it and where it goes for deposit in collection.

From there, it goes on to destination. The gallery here, New Mexico Art, handles my work here and takes care of shipping.

Thank you for the compliments and hope I answered your question.

Here's one of the movie posters I did for this movie. All digital. I did this in Renderman and Maya. They then made them into serographs for the hard copy poster at movie marquees and for online advertising. These are fun to do.

Such a joke. Too funny. Yes, indeed, report it.....hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaha you are one sick fucker. You are sooo stupid. The art has nothing to do with the poster for the movie, they would never, ever put the artist on the poster at the theater. Jesus. so stupid. That salutation is mine, the poster you posted is what shows at the theater. Report it indeed. So lame, so psycho... Awesome. Yea, right, movie posters always have the artist who drew the poster on there too.........fuck me......God help us.

How fucking stupid are you?

Seriously. Are you moderately stupid, or completely fucking stupid?

Did I MENTION the salutation, you moron>? No. I said it was a crappy copy, reversed (left to right).

You stated...

They then made them into serographs for the hard copy poster at movie marquees and for online advertising.

and THEN you stated...

The art has nothing to do with the poster for the movie

Contradicting yourself, yet again.

Again, just to drill it into that phoney, fraud filled head of yours.. NO ONE mentioned the salutation on what you claim is YOUR poster. I said it was a crappy copy, reversed. That's all The salutation is immaterial, and what we call a straw-man argument on your part.

FAIL

You lying sack of shit! You stole a 2009 photo by Red Huber of the Orlando Sentinel off of the internet and you're trying to pass it off as a painting you did for NASA and in the NASA Smithsonian collection. You've been exposed.

By the way, you've been reported.

 

[freedombecki]

Awesome work, Robert. Thanks for sharing.

 

[sparky]

yeah, don't mind the detractors, internet is what it is Rob

you know, i realy don't know jack about art

seems to me it's sort of a living thing one can jive with or not

my personal view is often 'Gee, how'd s/he DO that' , which is more a nod to the technical aspect

~S~

 

[Intense]

I like the cat's ass toothbrush holder.

You beat me to it. How much for the Cat's Ass, tooth Brush?

 

[Ernie S.]

What's worse is that our tax money is probably funding that shit through that colossal waste of tax payer dollars called the National Endowment for the Arts

Why is it a waste of money?

Paying someone to stick a toothbrush up a cat's ass is a waste of money.

How many women knew they could use their old maxi pads to make skippers?? ~Lmao~

Who the hell wants to display maxi pad slippers or whatever the hell that is supposed to be?

Art? Not. Raphael,Monet,Van Goeh, Dali, now that's art.

True. That was art, and incredible painters.

Here is my latest, one of two paintings for NASA, commerating the end of the STS program, STS, Shuttle.

KWC proved you stole the picture and claimed it as your own!

Here's your post #33...

Space shuttle Atlantis and a 6-member crew blasts off Monday, Nov. 16, 2009 from launch pad 39A and at 2:28 p.m. on a crucial supply mission to the International Space Station.

You STOLE a copyrighted work, and claimed it as your own.

FRAUD.

I don't know who KWC reported your lying ass to, but I'm reporting it to the Orlando Sentinel and Red Huber.

You're toast.

 

[uscitizen]

Yeah and they called the guy formerly known as Prince an artist???

 

[Robert_Stephens]

Awesome work, Robert. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you freedom, most kind and love this section, and I didn't know it was here until day before yesterday........duh....some of the girls here wrote me and told me about this. Thank you maidens, very cool.

Here is a movie still image from ID4 (a one second movie still is one 35mm film frame shot of a scene within said movie), and 17 of us digital artist guys worked this and some other beauty passes. The names are in the credits. It was fun and loved this movie and it was my second work I got for FXFX.

Thank you again and my hat is tipped,

Robert

Yea, too funny........wow. I just don't understand modern art at all. Oh well....and a singer I never got it either....

Maybe in certain circles you are real cool if you like it or have it or both. Same with music.

Weird.
