OK I'm throwing another one up here. Paul Chenard was friendly and gracious in our email exchanges.

I suppose this would fall under the heading of functional art. Personally I like the idea however taste is as always an individual thing.

If you hang Triumph art in your living room...

Will it still leak?

Only if there's oil in it.

You sure that's a requirement?

OK pretty much everyone is familiar with this guy; he creataed the Alien creature and is known for his bio-mechanical style. Similar to the post that kicked this all off.

I had an English Fox Hound... come to think of it he did leak a bit of oil.

More 3D art. Don't have a site handy just now but I figured this might appeal.

I don't sell my work, but I've always enjoyed sketches...
this is gel ink on printer paper for MickeyX (also her avatar)
seems kinda silly next to all these pros, but I'm proud of it.

Spikeybike · « **Reply #60 on:** December 29, 2008, 03:48:34 PM »

my two biggest inspirations (witch i find odd because my art doesn't even remotely resemble either of theirs)

are H.R.Giger and M.C. Escher

here's some of my faves from escher

Spikeybike · « **Reply #61 on:** December 29, 2008, 03:53:28 PM »

and some more Giger

i think my favorite thing about Giger's work is that ... everyone knows what "bio-mechanical" is...... because of him, he invented it, to create something so completely way outside of the box, i just love it.

Ecosse · « **Reply #62 on:** December 29, 2008, 04:10:43 PM »

Nice examples spikey! What really resonates with me about the bio mechanical style is that for the entirety of my life my two absolute passions have been machines and art. Animals can be seen simply as biological/ organic machines. When taking an anatomy and physiology course my admiration and respect for the human body and all it's 'subsystems' grew considerably. It's awe inspiring and humbling.

Kit, IMO not silly at all. Fun maybe but not silly. If you and those you created it for like it then the work has succeeded, no?

Spikeybike · « **Reply #64 on:** December 29, 2008, 04:23:42 PM »

that is a great site Ecosse, some very cool stuff there thanks

Just rented and watched Pollock with Ed Harris. I've never been a fan of his, or any, Abstract Expressionism and notes I made in the borders of my old text books are a testament to that. But after watching a movie (I also recommend) called Who the F### is Jackson Pollock? I became interested in the guy.

I'm no movie critic and I'm not going to go on in detail about the film now but I do recommend the movie if you are interested in art, even if you can't stand this Pollock. The movie was well done and Ed Harris did a great job. See the extra features too. I'll add these movies to my library for sure.

I've got a bunch of other films in my queue from Net Flix.

If you have a PS3, get the game "Echochrome" - You have to download it from the PS3 marketplace; I think it costs about $20. The game is like being inside an Escher painting.

Echochrome (無限回廊, Mugen Kairō?, lit. "Infinite Corridor") is a puzzle game created by Sony's JAPAN Studio, which is available for PlayStation 3 from the PlayStation Store and for PlayStation Portable (PSP) on either UMD or from the PlayStation Store. Gameplay involves a mannequin figure traversing a rotatable world where physics and reality depend on perspective.

I like a lot of "urban art" or graffiti... not the stupid ignorant crap. I will post photos of a really neat place by my old apartment. It was called the Riverside Market and they closed down but the guy still owns the land so he put the word out for all the taggers to come and paint his building up. It's really neat.

Any way I am also really into the Obey stuff. I just like the simplicity of it all yet it still has a pretty strong message.

For a few years, up until a year or so ago, I worked across the hall from Shepard Fairy's (creator of Obey) BLK/MRKT gallery. A friend of mine has an original. So cool.

Banksy is my favorite.

Spikeybike · « **Reply #72 on:** January 03, 2009, 11:05:25 AM »

how could we possibly have forgotten about Coop

Ecosse · « **Reply #73 on:** January 03, 2009, 11:20:25 AM »

alright spikey! i was planning on getting some 'low brow' art up here... ya beat me to it.

Some of it ain't for me (like coop though) but i was into big daddy in the 70's when i was a wee lad and watchin' the munsters and the adam's family while eating my count chocula saturday mornings.

i rediscovered the genre just before this current trend began in the late(?) 80's when i started getting back into art and my first love of hot rods & kustoms. got roth's autograph, real cool guy but i was star struck.

among pop art i think the elites have yet to understand this stuff although it's been around for over half a century.

good call man!
