Eyvind Madness


So this be my attempt at 2 things. One is doing a piece completely digitally, from the sketch to the final product... And Two is to do a piece in an Eyvind Earle style. This was a lot of fun. After doing it though, I have concluded that Mr. Earle was insane. You have to be to have the patience to do these kind of pieces. Even though this is digital, it took me a while to do. I can just imagine using actual paints, mixing color and what not. Pure madness. I guess its what makes his artork so FREAKING beautiful is the amount of detail to it. He was a true artist. I hope I have done you justice Eyind Earle. Can't wait to do more of these!

your applied thoughtful patience in the realm of art is something i have always admired. we are not close, must we be for me to appreciate you?

yourartwork strikes me as a type of convergence of enduring humor/ enlightening positivity with sexy punX. such a powerful combo births a sinful delivery of accurate, at times reality defying beauty. my shit is being persecuted and i am at the library to find your work as i am always returning to it when i feel oppressed. my family literally reminds me to go find your work whenever i am blue. thank you for remaining public and keeping your work available online to a fan such as i.

long live your exploration into digital artwork. i follow your digi-lead in the realm not yet defined as art, but rather, medicine. link arms when i get the plastic overture of funding?...i still want help with designing a cellphone encased in toyshine... how much might that cost my oppressed ass? wat wat
