Mountains made of steam (nsfw update)

edited February 2009 in Artist's Corner
Been having trouble getting my workflow stable recently. I was hit by a car on my bike at work, which pretty much sapped my energy. But that was only after I split with my girl of 4 years. Stuff like this, piled on top of eachother, is absolutely draining. I'm pretty sure its what makes us age.

Anyways, some stuff I have pics of, and that painting from forever ago I finished up.

    Good fucking god, nation. Are you injured (including psychologically)? If you haven't spent a bit of time recuperating, you should probably do that first, homes. I say do some relaxing art for a bit, and experiment.

    I don't really know what to tell you about the paintings, though I do like the second one.

    Damn man, i hope you're feeling better after all that.

    (great reference by the way[I'm assuming that the title is only from a Silver Mt. Zion and i'm totally not missing some other reference]

    The stuff in the OP is good. I really like the last one as well, and I hope you get better soon.

    And I can only assume that the thread title is an A Silver Mt. Zion reference and I love you forever.

    Sorry to hear the bad stuffs, life is challenge so don't give up. These are alright, but they feel really unfocused to me, I think they need more direction if that makes sense. As for missions how bout this: Find the one thing in life that makes you happiest, and paint the shit out of it on some huge canvas! Like really, put everything into it, see what you can do. I think I'm gonna make that my mission too. ;D

    damn bro, sounds like you've had it rough. I can feel you though life can suck, and its turned me into a walking pharmecutical cabinet. Glad to see your getting back into the game though, and better than ever from what I'm seeing so far. Look on the bright side, tons of big artist went through some fucked up shit in one shape or another- for some reason its almost like some kind of catalyst for creativity or somethin. Dunno...something I read.

    Ne ways keep up the good work. gl with the rest

    Agreed agreed agreed.

    Any chance we could get a higher quality of that knight because that looks amazing. From what I can tell, I really like the way you have him framed on the canvas, but I'd like to see more, if you know what i mean :)

    (also, if you want to check the band out, they go by "Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra la la Band" these days, but they just lost two members so their name is subject to change again soon....

    You can check them out here (song 2 is the one in from the title... and I think it fits the work here perfectly)
