Unrelated Art

[Draq O.]

Not sure how this will play but here it is anyhow... I have recently been attempting to put some of my past art works(ings) onto digital format. As a result of this I decided to post them so that anyone could view them. I wasn't sure whether this would really be appropriate here so that is my hesistation, don't wanna toot my own horn so to speak . If you think you may be interested here is the link to the first one: http://fav.me/d5a1fug Once you are there look for the link to my gallery for the remaining ones. I am kinda in work in progress mode here so I may add some more. Thanks for your views either way.

Wow, Draq. Just wow. I really like your stuff. I finally picked out a place to live and I'll be moving in a month, so I've been thinking a lot about art and decor. It's strange how well your black and white stuff would fit in with the style I'm planning (yeah, I got sucked in to the Ikea catalog). I like how you can't tell what the ice cream cone is at first. I am really impressed by the scorpion/cactus tessellation and the light house screen, extremely well done. Thanks for being brave enough to share with us; I know it's hard. This is the perfect place to post something like that - if anyone else wants to share their creative projects, it doesn't have to be game-related. And Draq, if you ever felt like scanning some of them in order to make a print, I'd hang them up in my apartment!

I really like scorpion/cactus. Who or what are your influences?

[Draq O.]

Thanks for the support/praise! I have added some more today: http://fav.me/d5a6mvd and there are some that I have on 3.5" floppy disks that I need to convert over somehow . As far as influences I don't really have any specific, I just kinda go with whatever pops into my head. I do however like Frank Lloyd Wright, MC Escher (artist), Alberto Giacometti(sculptor), Charles Schulz (cartoonist), Ted Naifeh (graphic novelist), anything lighthouse or woodwork related.

Frank Lloyd Wright is the man, I love the Waterfall house. Recently I have been loving street art espically http://www.banksy.co.uk/ When I get enough wall space I want to get a print of his piece "Think Tank" in 3 piece canvas.
