Frank Frazetta vs Norman Rockwell

it's not affectless, which is what you would expect from photorealism.

Robert Bechtle was a good photorealist.

your so dumb its brilliant

Having said that, I appreciate the low cunning of calling me a "bald literalist" in an attempt to bait me into saying "I'm not bald, what are you talking about" so you could say "I didn't mean literally bald..." - even if it didn't work.

its a good style to represent ennui and lassitude. lives without any tension. all the air gone out of them. deflated balloons.

Cars were his big thing.

I quite like it. It’s the logical conclusion of Jan van Eyck and Flemish still life painting.

I think the best painting draws attention to itself as painting. If it looks like a photograph it takes away the point. It's like the best synthesiser music sounds like synthesisers, it doesn't sound exactly like an orchestra.

No photograph would ever look like a Jan Van Eyck painting, unless you treated the shit out of it in Photoshop.

Granted there are examples of painters using camera obscura e.g. Vermeer's view of Delft. Even so I reject this photorealism stuff as heresy and sentence you to burning.

Do you feel embarrassed because you’ve never heard of the very famous Photorealist movement before?

I tattooed someone who was the painter for some famous photorealist. He said the artist would give him some photo he took and a little direction and that was about the extent of his involvement

 

[linebaugh]

This isnt who he works for but his own personal work, and its pretty amazing from a trchnical standpoint. This is all airbrushed without any digital altering

Hard to believe this isn't a photo.

I didn't know you were a tattooist.

There's nothing wrong with that, though. That's just like the way the Florentine workshops operated in the sixteenth century, or the Warhol factory.

Not saying theres anything wrong with it, but the practice is a bit more interesting to think about with photorealsim
