No way those are drawings!!
I call shenanigans.

I might as well kill myself now, there is no way I will ever be that talented at anything.

Art by Maria Salahi







First is colored pencils.
The other are acrylic paints on canvas I believe.

Art by Andrea Bailey


ballpoint pen


acrylic on cardboard


watercolor


Adobe photoshop cs 2?

My friend asked me to draw the most epic thing I could Imagine. I drew this-



It's a Dinosaur, on top of a mountain, playing a Keytar while singing LIGHTING! ALso, he's wearing 80's hair metal hair with a bandana, hightops, and smoking a cigarette. He's too metal for you.

Also, I generally don't draw haha. This is probably the only drawing I've really done in like 10 years hahaha

How about a different kind of pencil art


Pencil Carving Art

Cut paper art by Patrick Gannon:

This guy, StuntKid , is one of my favorites.
He paints in Photoshop and he has some outstanding photography.

Everyone is talented in their own way. It's the rare human being in the world that doesn't have any artistic genes in them. They exist. I remember asking someone what kind of music they were into. They replied "I don't know. I'm not really into music."

Needless to say, my jaw dropped and to this day I still can't wrap my mind around that one.

Keep going. Keep drawing. Keep being inspired.


Here is a tattoo by Dave Tedder.
Proof that it's always good to look at portfolios, not just settle on
some guy down the road and even save up, be willing to travel to get something amazing if you're really up to it. Be picky.
It's permanent. I flew to Atlanta from Michigan 2wice to
get one of my favorite tattoos done. Before that, I
would travel an hour and a half to get my tattoos done
by a shop that has some amazing, award winning artists.

I think my problem is I'm too easily distracted and can never focus on doing the one thing/style of work/project for too long. So I'll never actually become proficient and one thing, yet still be capable in a magnitude of things.

I guess diversity has its place....yet it would still be nice to be able to say "I am 100% awesome in *something*"

This one I found through a google search of a real cool artist I like (Tony Koehl). Bunch of surrealist art:

You never know...I had never picked up a paintbrush before and I painted this:

I saw a picture of this strange bird in a magazine and I painted that while looking at the picture in the magazine. No tracing involved. The background was all mine. It was different in the magazine.
