/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

>>3310680
Yeah the entire premise of the series was that anyone can make a painting. One of the ideas has been to sell pre-transferred canvasses for people to paint themselves. I can draw moderately well but I don't really care about the amount of time it takes to hand draw or use a grid.

I know that this isn't something that translates well to /ic/, but I'm absolutely not interested in demonstrating or circlejerking about my own abilities or skills. That isn't what art is to me. It may be what art is to teenagers on 4chan, and I'm happy to call you all cancerous faggots and shame your self-importance.
>That actually makes them a lot less charming
Good.
>I thought you were good at drawing and just having a good time learning to paint
What if I'm really bad at drawing? What if I have a neurodegenerative disorder that makes it so I can't draw a straight line? Am I not allowed to paint?
>Now that I'm actually reading some of your posts it sounds like you're doing this more for attention
Not really. I like conflict but I hate attention.
> trying to "brand" yourself
Not really trying to "brand" myself. Just the work. It's more important to me that the series has a continuity and connectedness to it. I like having the same dirty, smudgy, overly-thin acrylic aesthetic. And sorry but I spent decades being an uptight self-important piece of shit. But there's no point of doing anything without getting attention, and "branding" is part of life.

What you said >>3310671
>and it would be great to take some friends to an artshow with a bunch of artists doing pieces like this because of how accessible and fun they are
Is pretty much exactly what I would love to see. Different artists fucking around with the same canvas transferred image, creating their own art and applying their own aesthetic to a traced image. That's always been the underlying spirit of the project, even if I do just use 4chan as a place to argue with self-important NGMI assholes.

>I guess to build on the vague notion of "average", some of these just feel unfinished?
they all are
>But like on Downey Jr and George Costanza, there's like hazy underdefined areas and white of the canvas coming through that feels like you just laid the groundwork but didn't go back.
they're not done. I have 120 paintings in production. I just hop around and sometimes kill a painting in one sitting and sometimes keep them un-"finished" for months at a time. I love the concept of wabi sabi and I love the concept of, yes, tracing, a meme I stole from the internet and making it worse with paint in one impulsive run, then slowly dialing it in as the problems stare at me.

Also there's been some intention that I would finish or "fix" each of them as a youtube series, so some shit like >>3055785 has been waiting for me to paint with hot sauces.

But also I totally think part of what makes art interesting can be the laziness. I got really into all the giant Rembrants and stuff at the Rijksmuseum and how the painters would often phone in feet and dogs and stuff that they didn't give a shit about.
>Like the anon who suggested switching to oil, you could even do oil glazed on top of these acrylics to push them more and give them more finishing polish
Totally! I was thinking I would try it doing that on >>3055766 or >>3055773.

>Tl;dr everything feels unfinished, so if you consider any truly finished, that makes it average
I've considered them as props that are going to be destroyed or damaged on camera the entire time tbphwyf.
>But you've got the foundation going good if they're not finished?
Thanks man thats pretty much how I see it.
