My latest painting so called Blood Bath

Post Reply New Topic

Just wanted to put my latest painting up on here as its the only way I can at the moment exhibit my work.

This painting is 1 meter sq in size so its quite big and I am not selling it either unless someone can offer me a 4 figure sum in english pounds lol.



Please feel free to comment on it and ask questions as I'm not the best at raving about my work due to being more of a visual thinker than a verbal thinker.

If you don't mind a small but related hijack:

Nebula, I've always thought I was simply too shy or too aspie to be a good self-promoter, but I never thought it was because I was a visual thinker over verbal thinker. Although I have been feeling that blogging and copywriting for sale purposes is not for me, and that most craigslist ads for employment are full of unneccessary words and even paragraphs. I think you're on to something. That's an interesting insight, have you heard of this theory anywhere else that I could follow up on it? And now, since you've got me thinking about it for my own stuff, have you thought of advertising your work...visually? Posting or distributing your work on flyers, etc. with little copy, playing up the mystery a little bit? Visual press releases?

Nice use of color, btw. Is your avatar one of your paintings as well?

Oddly enough...I didnt like your comments about NT women because I thought they were very negative and nieve.(Not that I actually like or trust many NT women,lol)

But I do like your art,which I think conveys a similiar message but communicates it much better.

Ok well its nice to get some feedback and I will do my best to answer the questions asked etc.

First off I will say that being a visual thinker is something that as come about through much self analysis towards how I failed at being a model student in the arts and also internet browsing from my own thoughts. I think I once did a google search into thinking in pictures and found this link Thinking in Pictures which as also been mentioned on this site recently. I feel I have a lot in common with what was said in the link.

I was also a graphic designer for a year and actually never used to think up ideas for design but I would just design out of thin hair and through mental imaging & intuition. I still do that now in my artwork and whilst at college I would get into much heated argument about why I wouldn't brain storm or mind map conceptual ideas so alas I found myself to be a visual thinker.

I really dislike it how much of today's commercial society use tried and tested methods to sell artwork and for me kills the whole idea of art should be about. It should come from one's desire to create interesting works that represent one's need to communicate through a visual sense and not to grow ones wallet.

Anyway yes my avatar is another meter squared painting which say's so much really and only through your questions will I be able to explore myself the shear depth of the image in question.



I am quite glad you noticed this painting and again anyone who wants to know more please ask away.

As for the for the thread on NT women I did say it was a general statement and as I don't mix with NT women much I guess your rite to point out that it was nieve but thats all part and parcel of being autistic I guess.

So thanx for everything so far I am glad to finally promote my work without any reason to sell it for less than a four figure sum lol joke

i dont like eyeballs in art, but maybe thats just me. people being painted freaks me out

Nice.

hey I have alway's loved eyes they are the windows to the soul or mind which ever your more inclined to believe. For me eyes are the main introduction to attraction and yes I do fear them because they allow me to attach a frightening connection to people, very powerful stuff. For some reason eyes were always around in my artwork and the only thing I am quite repetitive with. I think they are a one of the many jewels life as to present to us in much of a blank and dismal world.

Just to add a few things Nuclear Cyclops painting tells me so much as to how I see the world around me, at times I feel stranded away from life and living yet in knowing that the world around me is a dangerous place so to venture away would mean bumping into many dangers.

The baked bin tin is a symbol of conformity yet again that contains the danger of being poisoned by life as to become consumed by the shite that lies are told. Also there lies the visions of global warming, terrorism and nuclear fear. Things also tell of a new world that will emerge out of nuclear mutation and the mixing of man made chemical. The vision of Nuclear Cyclops just appeared while I was walking down a hill near me under the autumn sun, through the beams of light and the mush of dirty leaves did it awake and a treasure I will always feel amazed at. The orange color in the creature are only the leaves yet almost a mixture of the rust of industry.

Please feel free to comment more and tackle me on things.

I dont do "critic" but I really like the use of colors.I have always felt attracted or repulsed by certain textures,colors in nature.What I like actually changes but I have always disliked bright yellow and loved autum and "jewel tones.I think the blue/green mixs are my favorite...so you are using my favorite colors,even if the subject matter is "dark",it does reflect my own anxiety and disgust in human culture and I find it much less "toxic" the an image of unicorns in a bright,sunny field of "dancing" butterflies...that stuffed always made me feel a little nausias.

hey I'm getting all confused now lol, I'm not used to getting a good response for things that I have done. I am really glad you like the colors I have used and just to add on that I never plan the color palette I just let things look good with an added intuition.

As I have been getting a good reports on my work Ill take a photograph and get it set so that it can be printed by deviant art site so you can own my work I would like that. So check me out at http://kidnebula.deviantart.com/ thats my deviant space and get some prints setup for you all that likey. Ill try and make them cheap as well.

Yeah,I would like to own a print if I can affford it.I would also like you to submit some of your work for our aspergers magazine.....if we ever get organized enough to put one out....herding cats.

wow thanx krex thats great I'm lost for words now. Its all a bit strange for me to get such decent feedback and interest it really encourages me to do more.

I'v just woken so a good start to the day I guess I just want to go and get my paints out I am also going to go out and bye a mp3 player so I go get more visions whilst out and about listening to stuff now cheers. I am always happy to submit my digital photographed images of the paintings so that it may get people interested wicked.

I do hope you will keep painting(not like a real artist has a chioce....we create because we have to and there is no external drive,it is internal,in my opinion).The whole point of the magazine is to get an opportunity for aspies(who may have net-working and scoial skills barriers)to have a place to show their art,writing and obsessions.

I think it is helpful to go outside ourselves and get "raw materials"...(what we see and hear),and then create something within us with those materials.What we do with it has a unique aspie perspetive(IMO).We are working on a web-site for people to submit their "stuff" and I promise to keep in touch(I checked out you devient account),to let you know when the web-site is up.

Keep painting!! !

thanx for your interest krex, Its nice to finally get some interest on the net. Mind you its taken me a while to finally feel confident enough to present my stuff because of feeling anxious about any bad criticism that can happen on the net. Anyway it appears that most AS folk don't feel the need to do that against me thats why I like this site so much and feel apart of this sites community. Ill keep an eye out so that when you need me Ill be about. PS I have been away for a few day's so didn't get time to reply.

I can understand your hesitation in showing your art.I have a page on Devient with mostly just my poetry.Showing stuff you create can be a bit like standing naked in front of people....not something we would normally do.I'm glad you feel supported on this site,it's usually pretty supportive,with the exception of a few trolls who enjoy shooting fish in a barrel.I will keep you updated on the progress of the magazine.

nice work nebulae! you can really feel the emotion in those bold reds!

Interesting!
