100 Battles

No need to make peace with it, Yoko. It's beautiful, so original, tell-tale color and all...

No drips. Drips have been way out of fashion since those fashion fucks started it. Leave it as it is, because I like it. BTW, what's that pattern behind it? Your bed cover?

A stranger warned me:
"Beware! A storm is coming!"
For me, it had passed.

I used to rarely be at peace with my work.
Now, it seems that I can see...
That it all turns out, exactly as it is supposed to.

~Thank~you for showing us your soul~

Hey, Yoko, I just added photos of two paintings that were done by a friend of mine, who has been hired to do portraits of fiona apple and outkast and some others... He is one of the funniest guys I know, because, he reworks and reworks and reworks...Wait and see...

You will soon recognize certain wierdnesses that accompany all artists.

clo-- well, shit... who started drips?? ... humm..I need to look at it again... but YAH thas my comforter thing, I got it Ikea, it was the most unpopular one. I planned on drawing and matte/framing a piece incorporating the same line-pattern, so it'd look like I had the bed cover textiled after the drawing-- but I haven't gotten around to doing it. Thanks for reminding me!
Thank you, you guys. Thanks for lookin at these and reading the captions n junk :0) Cake I will go check that out now :0)

Well, I guess you can put drips on there, only if, you can kinda rework it so that it doesn't look like "the drips", but I highly suggest not doing it because some people think they can get away with it when most of the time they're actual mistakes. But i've seen some pieces where "drips" have been put to real creative use, but a lot of people still use it today as a device to say, "hey, i'm an artist too". I don't criticize as much because i'm not one to backup my claim, but it's a healthy dose of awareness that everyone needs once in a while, if not all the time.

As far as my "art history" goes, i think "drips" have been around since the birth of graffitti and the jackson pollack days. It probably went around as a trend because I bet a bunch of designers around the world, un-related to each other unknowingly lifted it from global art-scenes and added it as an element to their mass-marketed campaigns (ie. Urban Outfitters). But honestly, when people first started doin them, I've gotta tell you i was hooked, and it was fresh, but like all trends, they die, and this one has been done to death. Good lookin', though.

WELL......... I only wanted to put drips coz, like, the bottle that the paint comes in has a nozzle thinger, so it was totally convenient to do.... plus, I had never done the drips thang, so kinda wanted to do that, but ahah I didn't know it was all trendy, I mean,,, I guess I noticed it, but I mean, DAMN, I don't get out much and I haven't been flipping thru magazines as much these days (GOD I HATE WORK).. but YAH Neways, I dunno, I think the drips would be overkill on this piece, now that I look at it. It kinda got that simplicity thing goin on, so it;'s cool, plus, I mean, YOU like it as is so uh ;0) heheheh
