New Project!

Journal Entry: Fri Mar 28, 2008, 7:22 PM
Hello Friends.

I haven't been very active here lately because my browser was broken. But now it is all better.

I have been working on some interesting projects lately, the main one is an animation of which i have used paper and charcoal. I have entered it into a small film festival of one of my favourite bands. Animation has been something that i have aspired to do for a very long time. It's a very techincal process, but with a bit of effort, one can produce their own film! Magic!

So go and check it out. I have spent a lot of time on it and i hope those of you who like my artwork can appreciate this.

Peace and love to all.

Yes, I can tell your fascination with him no doubt, and yes indeed for good reason. It's good you have this realization sooner than later that you are finding your own as an artist. To many find it to late or never at all. In turning either lacking skill or becoming clones of others if it were... He is one of the few surviving artists that keep hold and truly execute the old master technique. Yes, of course I've seen his books, I have them ALL!;) Also in my travels and while living in New York for a few years I was lucky enough to see his work on a regular basis being friends with one of the galleries that represents him. A number of my teachers that the NYAA [link] were also personal friends of his. I'm sure you've read his books about his life and thoughts on art (key - "On Kitsch") and yes the stories are all true. I also hear he is quite the sarcastic character.
A few other things I thought I would let you know. Once a year he has a workshop where you can travel to his home overseas for I think a number of weeks, if not a month or two. I had a few friends that went, and they said the prices are very much comparable to other workshops, so it can be somewhat affordable. The way my friends applied were by showing work to the Forum Gallery through an application situation for Odd. If your interested, you may want to contact them for info >>> [link] Also be sure to go over their site, it will most likely lead you to some artists you will enjoy if you haven't seen them already. One artist in particular I think you should check out now knowing that you are interested, is one of my friends and teachers. Steven Assael > [link] Great man, great painter, and again one of the few that holn the old master style in the purest fashion.
As for my work at this point... I laugh... You probably won't be interested for another year. I'm currently working on mostly comic book nonesense, but am in talks with my rep and some sponcers that will allow me to get back into figurative realism/surrealism. I'm looking to start a series of large scale Oils in the coming months, so I won't be posting such for a time. None the less we will have to keep in touch no doubt. It's great meeting you Kain, and if ever your interested in finding new figurative realists etc, I've grown to know more than a few I could let you know about, many of which I've met and spoken with. Email is probably the best, not here on DA...
Once again, great to meet you, keep in touch, and as always, keep the artistic vigor my friend;):peace:

Thanks Wade. Yeah Odd's great. I have slowly been steering away from him in the last year or so, but i guess I'm just finding my own feet. You can't really go past Nerdrum for technical mastery of the old master style. Have you seen his books? The most recent one is amazing! Really money well spent.

I'll keep an eye on your work too mate.

Someone likes Odd Nerdrum;P:peace:

...yeah I do as well. Wonderful paintings you have here. I'll have to keep an eye out to see how things develop. Keep up the vigor bud.

Much adoration, swing in sometime ey...

CheerZ~

Ran across your painting Insight on that Creep Machine site, then realized I'd favorited Watchers on here. Just found it amusing. Great work.
