Hi everyone , ive been a member on here for a while now and thought about posting my art but got discouraged seeing all the brilliant computer generated stuff here. Im no good with photoshop so i just use my good ol' hands and marker pens.. Please check out my art , there is a lot of variation there from 'ratfinks' to 'hotrods'
you guys are in a different league with me as im real old school , but hey it might be refreshing for some of you...feel free to comment as feedback helps us all. click on 'my pics' on the page..

thanx, Gav Black:lateral:

Hey Gav, Fantastic stuff!
From an artistic standpoint, I've always enjoyed completely hand drawn and rendered art more. I love to see the "brush strokes" and artist's hand at work. I used to do all my art that way too. It wasn't until recently that I started doing more of my client work with the aid of Photoshop or Illustrator. It really depends on the project and what the final deliverable will be.

In fact, I just bought the entire set of Prismacolor markers that I can't wait to rip into.

Post more work, I love it!

Awesome work man! I do about 95% of my work Ole Skool! I mostly use photoshop for cleanup and enhancement from crappy scan jobs haha, but I dable in photoshop renderings, gettin' better everytime I use the program. I friend requested ya' on Myspace.

I still have tons of markers and pencils myself. Still use em too. You just reminded me I have a sketch in the scanner I need to scan in to work over.

Great work, keep it up!

thanx guys ! its nice to be encouraged...im pretty new with art to canvas (3 months)....ive tattooed for many years which kinda bores me a bit these days. I guess its the creative freedom you get doing your own thing. I do have photoshop etc on my computor but was frustrated trying to learn it. So i gave it up...I knock out 1 painting per day (maybe 2 dayz if im lazy) the house is full of them . im hoping to exhibit some time soon ....

thanx , Gav :thumbsup:
