I was working 3 jobs at the time; a professional job running a chemistry lab, a bartending gig, and line cooking... now, you can imagine that line cooks come home really late and just want to shower and go to bed, and in my case I had to shower, go to bed, and get up at 6am to go to my OTHER job... it was the night before trash day... Jeff had been home all day doing nothing, and my ONE request was that he sort the recycling and take out the rubbish... I got home at midnight, the rubbish was still in the kitchen, and he was in bed... I tried to wake him up... he was pretending to be asleep... my fist went through the wall 8 inches from his head.
I don't take kindly to people who can't keep simple fucking promises.

shit yeag, dont break a promise to stinky, for your own health and well-being dude!... lol :p

cool paintings btw :D

hey idostuf, that blue ciity painting puts me in mind of a painting i once saw by pissarro, dont remember what it was called but it was a nocturnal parisiene street scene and had the same energy to it that yours does, good work.

i like metaphors middle drawing [actually all of them] but this one especially. i really like intricate abstracts such as these.

i would like to recomend some artists to you all [ones that i admire greatly] who tend to get overshadowed by the likes of [the overrated] picasso, rembrandt and van gogh. these are all just my opinions on a few of my favourite artists:

max ernst, ernst is possibly the best surrealist [him or rene magritte] and is deffinately the best dadaist. his works are primal, dreamlike and intelligent. unlike dali his works are true surrealism, even though dali is the first surrealist to spring to mind.

l s lowry, i used to really hate his work, but with time, study and understanding he is now my favourite contempary expressionist. his 1925 self portrait [in which he wears a hat] is stunning. it achieves something that very few painters have ever captured on canvas, his living soul.

paul klee, with artists you tend to like most of their work, but a few of their pictures you hate. its not that way with klee, eveything of his that i have seen is utterly brilliant. vibrant colours, disjointed patterns, tonal mastery and abstracts that are about things and not just abstracts. the man was one of the few artists that i truly think of as being a genius.

a e steggman, why this guy isnt the most famed painter around is beyond me, his works veer from brutal simplicity to sublime style. he was also the most amazing, generous and caring person as well, totally inspiring.

well, there you go. i hope this inspires you to look these guys up, they may not be in the a list of popular artists but there work is astonishing, brilliant and varied, modern art is dead untill it can be classed as equal to them.
