Collaboration with Troy
A while ago, our own troylloyd sent me a number of his little paintings (they're about 4" x 6", on black cardstock, and I couldn't even begin to tell you the medium). I scanned them in and arranged them into the following (by the way, this can also function as an illustration for the second abstract comix exercise I posted below):
coolbeans!

These are great!
ReplyDeleteTroy, these paintings are pretty amazing. I'm curious what the medium is.
ReplyDeleteThey work well as a comic too - all those curved shapes moving it along and the interactions are fascinating (credit to Andrei for a good arrangement).
It's all very cool. Any plans to make prints?
these were a great accident,
ReplyDeletea friend of mine work'd atta
signshop & was always giving
me tidbits he got, he gave me
abuncha large sized slick black
cardstock, at that time i was playing
around w/ painting, i was living inna
old house built 1908 that'd been
convert'd to a quadplex. at some
point, i left a piece of this large
cardstock on the kitchen floor &
while it was still wet, somehow
a large thin piece of plexiglass
got laid on top of it, then i noticed
the plexiglass slow'd drying time
& created an almost geological looking
effect, like when you have a bucket
or glass of pigmented water if you
leave it out over time as it evaporates
it leaves the little rings -- so i
start'd a series manipulating this aspect,
i need to try to make some more in that vein,
i haven't been messin' w/ paints much.
the medium was Liquitex acrylic, airbrush
acrylic & Tamiya acrylic model paints.
probably no prints, it's a monotype
one-off thing & it has been given away,
because enthusiasm is the best kind
of currency.
yes, Andrei is solely responsible for
the composition & i love how he made
it all come together!
thanx for your kind words!
