i made four pics this month.
1) joint with cubeblue. i felt like doing one with him, so he sent me an
old pencil drawing of his. its the red things off to the sides. I also
tried to follow his theme, or what I thought was his theme.
2) Noise - another picture that is more emotion than message. I felt a
mixture of anger/sadness when i made this.
3) save- its called save, because windows crashed, and i needed to save
it, and was uncreative with the title. yay. I've used most of the images
in this picture before, but i managed to create something new with them.
I promise next month to lay off duo-tone

cubeblue

note on joints:  it's always a pleasure to work (or have my own work
worked on) with artists I admire.  atom took the idea from an original
sketch of a silenced, muzzled man and exploded that idea into a wonderful
clash of raw drawing and photomanip, i wasn't surprised that this work
thrilled me.  sprocket took a different approach to a more finished
drawing of mine, spinning it around itself in translucent spirals and
letting that sketch be the focus while he decorated the focus and overlay
of the image with precision, and simplicity. needless to say, i'm
thoroughly jealous with the skill of both artists.

what more can i say about being in league with _the_ art group.
hrg has style, integrity, and grit.  i've never seen one pic out of
any hrg pack to date that i haven't been fascinated by.  It is an
honor to work with this outlet.  these little .zip files are canisters
of passion, hatred, beauty, and utterly art. i plan on bringing my
own personal quality up quite a few notches to make my contributions
worthy of standing next to these images. and i can't wait to raise hell.

Three bees, flying to their hive from green meadows...
dropping radiant drops of light...

In the past months i've tried to learn XARA more..
You can see the result in my artwork "WAX". I drew this hirez for WAX
station operator - subex/PFC - a big fan of meadow honey =).
Big thanx to Spro, who was patient with me.
Thanx to YoYo for inspiration.
Thanx to Subex. He supports me in my ugly week-days, helping me stay alive.
BIGGEST thanx to DiTi. She didn't leave me alone.
Not verdure my drug, but she is...

To all who support me, who build the hirezscene..
to all at #hrg (#ter) and #hirez.

These are some old drawings I made in -92. They were made in ink using
a kind of 'pointillistic' technique. This allows for more improvisations
and is not as sensitive to mistakes as most inking techniques are.
It does require a lot of patience though, since even very small drawings
would take about 7-8 hours to finish.

'Pepper' is based on a photo of a pepper I saw once that gave me the
impression of a misshaped body. I made a series of hirez pictures after
this one. Among them 'Misshape' which I later applied to ACiD with.

'Inca' is a traditional ceremonial mask. I was still trying to refine
this new technique.

'Descent' is based on a photo of the stairs leading to the basement
of the house where H.R. Giger spent his childhood. I really like his
old ink drawings a lot too. Especially 'Schakt nr. 7'. Take a look at
his old stuff. It is really a lot more interesting.
Some day I'll go back to this technique. It'll be interesting to see
what I can come up with, using the knowledge I have aquired working
in hirez...
I would also like to express my sincere respect to all of you who put
your mind and soul into our common art scene, all of you who are not
into this simply to make friends or earn respect or whatever, but just
because of your love for your art. You are the ones who make the scene
truly interesting...

Keep on drawing everyone! Hopefully we will all learn something new
about ourselves, art and the world through all of this. At least that's
what I hope for.

shart

Different style this month; not even freehand. Personally, I liked last
month's better. Expect to see more work in the next few months (but more
in the freehand vein.) I might even learn to use vectors, as long as
they don't mean making my work too clean.
Write: maker@sunflower.com for comments, critiques, joints, idleness..

sprocket

well.. the world I touched in the last pack was so fascinating, that
i couldnt stop.. Half of my works in this pack are still devoted to it.
Another one is a search through textures.. I wish to advance further..
greets: liceboy, incognito, shart, grim, tomppa1, ffathom and ter.

yoyo

small foolish problems are devouring us alive, sucking dry our time and
powers, and annoying us with their needlessness. we'd like to move
forever, never stop, no abrupt brakes.. is it really right, I don't know.

buendia: it's a pity and a surprise for me that I discovered Marques
for myself only recently.. every page begged to be depicted, but the
resulting thing is like this..
oskolki: when you're alone in the room or there's a lot of everyone
and you're alone anyway..
toys: for my friends...
uborka: how long can a walk be if you don't think about the destination?

thanks: spro, diti, ter, shere, liceboy
