Description Oil on canvas, 24x40"

DD! Thanks so much!

...now I wish I had taken the time to get a better photograph of this one... and fix some of the things about it that still bother me... bah. oh well. Perhaps later.

*EDIT*

I uploaded what I think is a better photo of the painting. The colors and contrast are a slightly closer match, and the image is certainly more in focus.

i think you could have made it more obvious that it was ideas being made; the little metal boxes are confusing

blakealtman In reply to SilentBeforeTheStorm [2008-02-26 23:32:05 +0000 UTC]

i was thinking something cliche', like a light bulb; just so that it was more apparent and could easily tie to the title, although making a light bulb would be difficult i think it would have been worth it.

POCKETpunch In reply to blakealtman [2008-02-28 13:34:28 +0000 UTC]

you honeslty want to see that guy spewing light bulbs?

and umm.. in the description it sorta says "Idea Machine by ~SilentBeforeTheStorm shows the pre-packaged ideas, dreams being dished out to us on the production line."

I believe this is perfect the way it is..

blakealtman In reply to POCKETpunch [2008-02-29 01:14:33 +0000 UTC]

wow, okay.
i actually never said i wanted it spewing light bulbs; i just think that the message is unclear the way it is;
as a matter of fact i didn't even want to give him the idea, because it is his piece I wanted to leave it to him to create what is necessary for the clarity of the message, and you should have kept in mind that what i said was merely a suggestion and not necessarily what should have been done. I am a firm believer that the work is the artists and no one else's.
Also, you are quoting what another artist said about his work, not what HE said about it.
I simply wanted to allow him to have a glimpse of an idea so that he could have made it more clear, and as for your use of 'erfect' even the artist recognizes his works' imperfections, you seem to be extremely opinionated and unclear on the topic

MisterLeech [2008-02-26 04:41:46 +0000 UTC]

Get's kind'a disturbed over this for some reason... probably because of the metaphor I see in the picture is so true to me and the picture just makes it look so straight forward-ish in a way...

Well, either way, it's a great painting :3

I think they're... going out. Just because usually movement goes from left to right. >.>

But maybe we're trying to be original here? And therefore we are going in an opposite direction?

Dun dun dun.
