Awakening the Artist Within

[everest.smith]

I would like to share a gift that has been realized through my experiences with the spirit molecule. This gift has come in the form of art. Spray paint art to be exact. It all began one day when I was hanging with a friend watching YouTube videos. We came across these artists from Mexico who used spray paint to create wondrous space scenes in minutes. So, one day I went to the hardware store and grabbed some paint. I should remind you that prior to this I believed that I had no artistic ability at all. I began with the typical space scene but quickly wondered how I could "make it my own" so I attempted to recall hyperspace. This is what happened....

I would encourage any nexian to share their artistic expessions of hyperspace here. I would love to see what you may have come up with!:d

Have you visited the Art Bin yet?

wow...
maybe i should buy some spray paint :d

seriously though, those works are awesome

 

[wearepeople]

Wow! Awesome!

 

[Guyomech]

Those are great, and serious efforts for a beginner. Don't be afraid to try other materials. You may really enjoy the airbrush, either digital or real.

Check out the "official art tutorial thread" in music/art/literature... You may find some good stuff there.

nicely done.

Amazing. I have very little artistic "talent" as well and this post gives me hope that I may be able to find an outlet for my inner artist. I've been attempting electronic music as an outlet but have had very limited success.

Awesome, you are certainly an inspiration. :thumb_up:

Super rad Everest! :thumb_up:
These are really wonderful for just having started! Never stop expressing! You'll get better and better the more hours you clock. A tip for the comets in the first painting, take a piece of paper and fold it veggie burger style, stand it up on your painting and hold it in place, when you spray it, try blasting more of the paper than canvas, this way it flares out and dissolves nicely rather than being a sharp thick white obelisk type thing. These are super rad though, friend. Keep it up! I wanna see more.

 

[everest.smith]

Thank you all for your kind words. The feeling that I get from them is one that I shall cherish.

Zero,

If you find yourself struggling, look to your "memories" of hyperspace. You mentioned that you choose to express yourself through music. I hear music every time I travel so my gentle suggestion would be to draw from that. Its what I did. Also, express yourself with the intent of reciprocating to "the source". When I paint, I paint for others, not myself. All of my canvases have been created specifically for the person who I give it to. I expect nothing in return, not even a thank you. I just want to contribute to the source.

Hearing that I have given someone inspiration makes everything that I have done or will ever do,worth it. Thank you for expressing it...

Here are a couple more

Couple more here. Painted reverse on glass.

Love these! The image of Buddha sitting is something i've seen in my trips. I smoked a good dose on my back porch, this spinning circular portal materialized in front of me. Looking like the Mayan calender, with that image of Buddha circling around :d

 

[jamie]

Just went to the hardware store, thought about my experiences and whamo! Art!
Thank you all for your kind words!

 

[uftusaf123]

Wow! These are amazing! I stumbled upon those spray paint videos a while back as well.. might have to head to the store this week and try it out! what are you using as "covers"? I saw that many people use bowls for planets.

 

[everest.smith]

I carve my own stencils out of plastic report covers.

Reverse spray and pinstripe. Love this method!
