Speed Painting with Ketchup and French Fries

Posted by admin on February 28th, 2010 and filed under artist prints | 13 Comments »

What do you do with fresh McDonald’s French Fries and 10 packets of Ketchup? You paint with them of course. 50 min speed painting plays in 4 mins. Ketchup as paint and french fries as a paint brush.

I had to remove the original song because of copyright infringement. Unfortunately the YouTube AudioSwap beta also reduced the quality of the video. When I get a chance I will upload a new higher quality video. I am also in the process of having some limited edition posters and artist prints made. I will be selling these prints on ebay to raise money for the CARE World Hunger Campaign.

Please check out my other videos where I draw with more traditional mediums. Coming in April I am starting a series of instructional videos on how to draw portraits. I am also holding a contest on YouTube soon to win your own portrait. So subscribe to my channel to keep updated.

Now to answer some questions..

The painting Measures 14×11 inches on foamcore surface. It is not permanent the video is the art.

I do custom portraits in a variety of mediums. You can find some info at http://www.EclecticAsylum.com

Asian artist who paints similar to Van Gogh?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under impressionist artist | 1 Comment »

Hi
I’ve been trying to find an artist who paints in the post-Impressionist style of Van Gogh. The artist (who I believe is Chinese) has a particular Chinese-esque scroll painting that he actually entitles the work after Gogh. Does anyone know this artist?
Thank you.
Have it ! Thank you!

Hi! Are you thinking of Zhang Hongtu?

does anybody know of landscape artist kim k.s.?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under landscape artist | 2 Comments »

he is most probably not oriental.maybe not living now.alsp painted a landscape titled "town".which is about 50 yrs old.

Is she also the young lady that designed "The Wall" in Washington.?

I have a painting that says pastel by schepansky on the back, but I can’t find anything about the artist.?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under pastel artist | 1 Comment »


So far these:
Adolph Schepansky (American)
Wladimir Schepansky (Canadian, 1895)
Augustus Schepansky
I’ve not found any information yet… I’m still looking:) I’ll update as I find things. The fact that it says" Pastel by Schepansky" would lead one to believe that it may be a reproduction. Is that hand-written or printed on the back? None of these three are well documented enough to know if their works were, in fact, reproduced. Well… that’s about it without subscribing to one to the sites. I would contact the gallery (below) that exhibited W. Schepansky for more information… beyond that, I would have it appraised by a reputable person. I wish you good luck!

Abstract Art – The artist who just painted the canvas black?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under artist canvas | 5 Comments »

Hello, Can anyone tell me the name of the artist who once painted the whole canvas black and that was sold for like a handsome price?

Thanks

Ad Reinhardt did a whole series of black paintings. He also did an extensive amount of writing on these painting in particular. They are essays included in the book Art as Art. These explain the nature of the color black and how those paintings respond to abstract expressionism.

how does one become a tattoo artist? Do they make good money?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under artist | 7 Comments »

I think being a tattoo artist would be a fun job. Do they make good pay? I’m not looking to rake in thousands of dollars but just enough to pay for normal living expenses such as an apartment, groceries, ect. How do I go about becoming a tattoo artist? And does anyone have any tips?

You have to apprentice…self taught scratchers rarely ever make it in the real tattoo world.

The money, ha ha ha ha ha, I’m apprenticing, I do NOT make a cent off of anything that I do, which is why I still pierce. If it wasn’t for continuing to pierce, I wouldn’t even be able to drive back and forth to work everyday. I have to agree with the guy above about having to love the lifestyle, it’s not easy, it’s not all fun and games, and it sure as hell isn’t something to do unless it is an artform that you absolutely love and want to put a lot of time and effort into. The hours are long, the business is totally unpredictable (you may be slammed on a Monday, back to back tattos, then on Tuesday, only do one or 2, then Wednesday do none, then Thursday be slammed all day again…you never know what to expect when you walk in the doors from day to day.).

All these freakin t.v. "reality tattoo" shows have really started a trend of bad artwork coming out of people’s kitchens, and have triggered a domino effect of people pouring into studios on a daily basis begging for apprenticeships. Most of these people only want to do it because they think it would be cool to say "I’m a tattoo artist"…this even goes for piercing, I’ve already turned down 3 people this week begging for apprenticeships and it’s only Thursday.

I’ve been in studio’s since I was 14 (10 years ago), just watching, listening, and getting to know how the business works. I apprenticed to pierce in 2002 for 15 months, during which I also learned scarification (tattoo machine and cuttings/skin removal), now 4 years later I’m apprenticing to tattoo and am nearing the end of my first year with a whole year left to go. Body modification is my life, my goals are to learn everything there is to learn that can be done to the human body. The lifestyle is something that I love, changing people’s body’s to make them more beautiful in their eyes is what drives me, and the money that comes from it is only a bonus. To me it’s about helping people be more comfortable in their own skin.

If it is something that you’ve just recently developed an interest in, then it’s not something you should be considering as a profession…the majority of us in this business didn’t just wake up one day and decide to become a tattoo artist, piercer, scarification artist, etc, we had an interest in it for a long time before taking the leap into becoming a professional. We didn’t just have our opportunities handed to us either, we had to prove ourselves to ourself and our peers, and then prove that we really did have what it takes to advance and become the professionals we are today.

Back to apprenticing, don’t just walk into a studio and ask for an apprenticeship, start out hanging around, getting to know the artist, then find out if they need some counter help, if they do, take it. Learn how the studio works as a business, after a while start expressing your interest in learning about modification, if you’ve proved yourself you may be offered an apprenticeship, if not give it time and ask for one. Be prepared for a year or more of grueling tasks….setting up and breaking down for the artist, cleaning their equipment, doing their line drawings, basically being their b*tch until they are ready to start working with you with a machine in your hand. It’s not something that happens over night. If you don’t have any artistic ability, then before even doing this, take some classes at a local college in art…without artistic ability you are only a tattooist, with artistic ability you then are a tattoo artist. (There is a difference…a true tattoo artist can draw anything a client requests…there are others who can only do flash, and as I’ve been taught, those are the tattooists.)
