Printmaking Series Two - Intaglio Printing II
^stigmatattoo
reports, July 12
reports, July 12Printmaking produces images with visual qualities that are very different from those obtained through drawing or painting directly, and each technique adds its own peculiarities to the way each piece is conceived. However, with its odd and alchemical combinations of unusual materials, specific tools and enormous machines, Printmaking is often a strange and foreign territory even for artists accustomed to studio work on other disciplines.

Traditional Art Is Dead

reports, December 12, 2007What Happened..??
Where I live in considered an "art" town, although it is small... it is very centered around art. There are tons of artists who live in my town including sculptors, painters, drawers, mixed-media artists, photographers and many more. I heard about an art contest which was open to anyone within a 75 mile radius of my town. I was excited to enter. Afterall, It was my first competition. I could enter two pieces and knew exactly which two pieces to select.
When I walked into the public library I was shocked that so many artists were there. I felt like I was in heaven. I was looking at everyone's art and was shocked. It was so.... average. What happened? I was expecting prime rib and I got rump roast! The library soon became filled with cookie-cutter paintings of landscapes and scenery. Most of them looked identical.
What happened to traditional art? I'm not here to judge any certain style or catergory of it, but has the quality diminished?Are we just getting impatient and not willing to spend the hours that traditional art demands? Has money taken over our ability to create? I don't understand...
When I think of an artist, I think of somebody who pours their heart and soul into a piece. They don't do it for the money or anything else for that matter. They create for the sake of creating. Are we losing that?
I'll leave you with this. Somebody recently told me that the most inspired art strives in the most stifling of societies. Will your art be the one that shines through?

Deviousness
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment.
She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More |

"God's the real artist, I just hold the pencil."
Another look could be that you set the bar too high? Though I do agree, landscapes are dull. If I wanted to see such a thing I would look out a window. I understand that this art took quite a while, it's just that imagination is better then reality...

Anyway, to wrap this up, all I am saying is, There ARE still people out there who do have love, compassion and inspiration for Art, it's just not as commonly seen these days. As it is, a lot of the people in this world now have become greedy and material things(needs and wants) take over and numb the soul
P.S. I absolutely adore your art-work..I am very much a new admirer.. I just stumbled accross it yesterday when reading some lovely kind words you had commented to someone else's drawing. Pleased to meet you

But I wholeheartedly agree with the predictability of most trad stuff. That is one thing I try to overcome as good as I can. I find it dull when people don't put their mind and heart to the work, but just paint/draw/whatever what they're "supposed to".
F- it! You can do whatever you want to or need to do. And that's where the best stuff comes from.
