A collection of time, secrets and broken hearts

[kilgore_trout]

Helllloooooo!!! Here's a bunch of paintings I did, acrylic on wood. Thank you for looking! Any criticism or suggestions are welcomed with open arms-- I've got thick skin!

[SpookyPooky]

You. are. amazing.

[claire313]

i LOVE these! a little tim-burtony

i think my favorite is the last one...

[babeedahl]

very nice - i love the style!

[aisy]

this made me happy

[sailormoon87]

WOW!

[Calvervtutrp]

VERY cool. I definitely like the first one best, but they're all neat!

[BeaG]

They make me feel sad.
But they are very good artistically. You've got talent!

[spidermom]

You. are. amazing.

couldn't have said it better!
the first one is hauntingly beautiful.

[Juliana13]

love the lettering on the the side of the first one! not too keen on the old lady ones, but the other ones are just amazing! a lot of talent there

[edelC]

these are fantastic. My favourite is the first one.

[apoe]

I LOVE your style! I can't imagine anyone giving any criticism. I thought it would be interesting if you made your characters do some more uplifting things in addition to this set. I just imagined the first drawing dancing in a field or with some balloons or lollipops..

Or keep them exactly how they are!

[underthemountain]

You have real talent.  I love these!!  Can't wait to see more of your work.

[FoxyMama]

Totally creepy but in a good way!

Love the last one best . . . not so much the two old ladies.

Awesome!

[oSnapitsStephanie]

You are seriously talented, I love your style

[Some_Girl]

You rock! That first one is absolutely amazing.

[Lady Orizas]

I really like the heart one.  very cool.

[QueenNinjaMonkey]

Very Very cool!

[plumbucket]

Super cool! I too love your style

What kind of acrylics do you use?

[kilgore_trout]

Holy crap thank you guys so so much. I have been a peeping Tom on Craftster since August, and have been too self conscious to post anything. I appreciate the things you have all said so much-- in the most super cheesy way, completely touched and grateful... Thank you!

[kilgore_trout]

Super cool! I too love your style

What kind of acrylics do you use?

Thank you so much! Talk about style-- I can't believe that quilt you made! A. Maz. Ing.

I messed up in the post, the first on is actually water color, ink and white acrylic on paper glued to wood. The third one (nude/yellow bird) is all water color on paper.

For paint I use Liquitex Basics (cheap) and then sometimes Delta, or whatever other brand comes in those little bottles from Michaels (CHEAP!). For water color I know what brand because it's so cheap it just comes in little gray plastic tubes with a sticker of the color. Whatever was the cheapest of the package deal. I use the paint brushes that come in packages that are a couple of dollars for about ten various styles. Nice brushed are pointless for me because I leave them in jars of water for days and ruin them! 

[zaluly]

How cool! Imaginative, well executed..a little unsettling, yes, but that's what's so great.

[Andi.Devine]

omigosh. 
is it too nerdy of me to say that i love your handwriting on the second to last? ahmazing.

[BabyPop]

Wow. I am really digging the red-haired lady. Do you have an etsy or artist website?

[kilgore_trout]

No! Thank you! Most people remark that I write like a child. I work at a large homeless shelter where we log everything, and I was told a long time ago to not even bother.... Ha!

[kilgore_trout]

Wow. I am really digging the red-haired lady. Do you have an etsy or artist website?

Hell yes, a shout out to Liza! I was obsessed with her. One of the most... she was... there just are no words. Did you ever see that creepy old school movie "Whatever happened to Baby Jane?" well what happened was I ended up in a class with her. Her make up was like oil paint and she wore the most incredible fire red wig. She was a Ukrainian who questioned everything in her heavy accent, cried randomly and would write down everything someone said in her own secret short hand symbols.I am in no way making fun of her-- I truly loved being in her presence.

No, no etsy or anything like that. Just my friends and my walls. But god, please, someday someday someday, let me make it as an artist....

[coocoosnest]

These are amazing. I like them all but I really love the first one. You should have no problem being an artist. From what I see you are one and your style is definitely the kind of art I spend money on.   

[psychosexy]

These are sooo cool, they would make great tattoos! What a wonderful creative vision you have, do you sell your art somewhere?

[spirals420]

wow.  your art is AMAZING.  completely and utterly LOVE IT!

[smelsmin]

These are so emotive, awesome work! I'm loving the first and last ones, although the rest are great too.

[PenguinSoup]

Those are the coolest things ever

[kilgore_trout]

I know... The bright side isn't really my best side... I've tried a couple of times and pulled it off-- here's a link to a happy blanket I made:

[Afrodusa]

Wow!  You ROCK! 

[lars the pirate]

I am completely in LOVE with these.

[knowiexist]

Amazing! Totally love the first one and the blue cat.

[pixiescar]

these are wonderful. love the spindly lines and detail and tone.
the lyrics especially highlight them in a different way.
A little Edgar Allen Poe, a hint of Oscar Wilde.

beautifulx

[lauricrowe]

What gorgeous darkness you have captured. I love it.

[Clarachk]

I find them all to be awesome! I stared at that first one for a while.... then scrolled down to see the block note you put on the side. What a freaking fantastic addition. It changes the whole concept of the painting, IMHO. Just that little twist took it from a darker piece to a more hopeful work. LOVE it! The work that follows is just as great. I just adore the sort of twisted humour. It's unexpected and snarky and I love it.

[DreamyDahlia]

Having lived a good many years, I found these very touching. Reality touching. I love your art.

[dark.star.88]

This is awsome. Did you use pin over it to make such small neat lines?!

[nikolelily]

sick. i love the redhead, strongly reminiscent of a woman swizgar squigelf would have relations with. also, love the your name, one of my favourite books of all times is breakfast. well done.

[mrsmarmalade]

I think these are amazing - well done you!!

[platinumfiend]

Very nice.  I wish I could do stuff like that; if I can't measure and use a strait edge you don't want to see drawings or paintings of mine.

[ShammyCrafty]

No criticism necessary! Just praise & adulation. I love them. Especially the first one. Good work.

[suzyscissors]

Ok... seriously, you are too creative and talented.    I can only dream of doing things like this!!
