thanks mike and scott :wink:

well I just figured out how those pointy bits and the bloodstains (red things on the rocks) go together :)

but seriously, animating the breaking wave is a steep learning curve :roll:

Kneeboard Artist

Post by Headwax. »

In Newcastle oz in the next few weeks? Feel free into drop into our show at the John Paynter Gallery (details http://www.thelockup.info/html/futexhibit.html).

Some of the paintings on show here: http://jenniferfinnie.googlepages.com/2 ... enpainters

Opening speech by the Director of The Newcastle Regional Gallery.

Also I've just updated the "Illustration" section of my website. http://waxfin.googlepages.com/home

Thanks for taking a look! It makes the little visit metre at the bottom click over.

Also, friend of mine is a kneeboard artist, also a Palestinian sympathiser (I don't neccessarily agree/nor disagree with his politics, in fact I am apolitical/atheist/assymetrical :) )... but he is a good friend.

He won a Queen's scholarship (English Queen) when he was young (she has one of his paintings), and part of the scholarship was travelling. During the scholarship he stayed in Palestine for a while and became friendly with the natives. He has recently visited there and seems to have an insiders' viewpoint.

You might like to look at his blog here: http://rememberpalestine.blogspot.com/

Good to see someone feeling for something.


Don't send me any hate Pm's please.

cheers again.

Thanks K-man.

I've been concentrating on keeping to a reduced tonal scale and letting the colours do the talking. As you probaly guessed, the idea is to have one parameter in harmony (tone) and another parameter in disharmony (warm versus cool colours) The darks are generally glazed and have a bit more dimension in real life (once you put a 250 watt spotlight on them :) ) and let a wee bit of the canvas to show through.

Ahh that board :) That was my first ever attempt at modelling a three dimensional object. That rail fin is probably a mountain peak, but maybe I should turn it into a real fin :)

Thanks again for commenting.

cheers :)

Andrew,

Your paintings are beautiful.

My favorite is "Trees at Grassy".

Really nice work.

Headwax,

Thanks for the links. Goes to show, there exists more than one processed opinion... just gotta look for it.

Walt and Bumps :)

Thanks for being kind enough to take a look!

Grassy is a favourite place of mine.


Bumps:

Bob Birch with his blog is a much braver man than me. I'm always waiting for a knock on the door from Asio where a man in a suit says in a deep voice "Are you a friend of Bob Birch?"......


Got a spare five mins? Heres a small animation I made in January with a few albatross and a couple of spitfires/bf 109. Nothing to do with kneeloing!

I've been searching for the site of one of the guys who may have been banned here (assuming someone was banned?). I had it in my PM's but it's vanished.

Can't remember who it was but he was a good artist.

Any clues out there?

Headwax,

Your comments about ASIO is a sign of the times where,'freedom of speech' has been redefined within the confines of the rules and laws passed by our elected leaders to stop free expression of idea's and comments. We don't want to offend..

Case in point being what was enacted in NSW to make sure WYD went smoothly... thank goodness a Judge, free from the constraints of politics made a good call.

I could go on but that would only invite unwanted and unwarranted interest from ????

Can't wait until I can get back into the water (10 months I'm told).....in the mean time 'I'm using my Wings'.

Cheers :D

Hya Bumps,

Hope you are starting to recuperate. My longest time in the last twenty odd years was 3 months without a surf. I was quite proud of myself that I was overcoming my addiction.... :roll:
cheers

A little of what I have been upto:

Great stuff Headwax!!!! I admire your ability to play with this new generation's technology.. This forum has intriqued me due to the portfolio I developed as a youngster, had gallery work at age 18. Would post pics., but not to savy. I'm truly impressed with your work!!! Thanks for posting.
