Lets go drink some BEER!!!!!! ~ Psychostick

Thanx!

I don't like the term 'self taught' because it's never really the case....everyone learns by observing, copying and listening to the advice of others, whether in books, dvd's, magazines, galleries or in the flesh.

I suppose a more accurate way to put it is to say I have no formal training other than one disasterous year doing fine art painting...I went to a college where they tried to force feed me a diet of American Abstract Expressionism and 'free thinking' before finally giving up and kicking me out!!

The effects and make-up I picked up 'on the job'.

Hope this helps

you do awesome things! were did you learn it?

Well I certainly think it's worth signing up for...but I guess it depends what you're looking for in an internet art site. I like DA cos it's relaxed and friendly and no one's telling no one how to do art 'roperly' or laying down the 'rules' of art like there's some sort of art bible and a ten commandments of the rights and wrongs of art!!

...as for advice!!??...lol..I dunno??...enjoy???

I love your melon head pic lol. Well I thought I'd better get my arse back here again its been a while... Gotta get used to how all this works again...DOH!!! darn it any advice? is it worth signing up for?

your work is as pretty amazing as ever

Lunarian Art is about the goddess and faeries.

Jon Favreau??...the Iron Man director?...I'd actually never heard of him before..though Ironman looks fun (if you like that kinda thing)!!

Hey bud!

Just checking out how you are doing
The NY 2008 comic con should be a blast...when you get the chance talk with Jon Favreau; the guy knows what he's doing and should be a powerhouse if you get involved with his next project

Good luck and have fun!

Look into my eye!

YW

sounds like a fun job. What you are doing is actually what my father wanted to do so bad. I think that because he never realy went after his dream that he is now behind me a hundred percent. I do know like you said that it is hard work. I gots the determination though. Thanks so much! Nobody's going to piss on MY bonfire....they would need to drink a LOT of water for that...it's just to darn big!
Thanks so much!

Oh wow....to answer this we really need an evening and many, many pints of beer!!...but I'll try here:

Earning a living doing make-up effects IS hard...I make a living at it, but only just and am far from prosperous; And for every lucky guy like me (and it is luck that gets you to the top as much as talent or anything else) there are 100's of disappointed people who never get even close to realising their dreams.
But as for earning a living in art in general well that's a different matter. There must be 1000's of commercial art jobs around...so ignore those who try and piss on your bonfire and go for it!!

Happy??....yes..blissfully!!...I love what I do and more importantly love the people I work with...I get paid to make rubber monsters and pretend to slice people up!!....who wouldn't be happy!!....hahahaahahahahahah!!!!(maniacal laugh)

No...just an art career in general. It's just hard sometimes because you are always hearing people saying that you shouldn't be an artist...there's no money there...yadayadayada...It's just noce to come across someones page you is obviously a SUCCESFUL and HAPPY artist.

Todo ser cree ser todo, pero el todo es nada.

Thanx very much for so much high praise...as always I'm flattered.
When you say you're going to college to do the same as me do you mean you're studying make up effects...or just an art career in general?

Random Deviant!!

Hardly ever do I hit that random deviant button at the bottom of the page and get an amaz-a-zing tallented artist such as yourself. You are really great and I am glad you are using your tallents out in the world...going to college myself and hopeing to do the same thing you are...living and doing a job you enjoy! Congrats at life, amazing artwork.

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake son.

"Everything here is eatable. I'm eatable, but that my children is called cannibalism and it is frowned upon in most societies."

--- mmmm.... eating chocolate shaped people like a chocolate cannibal....--------

I'm sorry but there's no way I'm taking the blame for that...I told you to ONLY lick the bouncy ones with the orange hairs...if you can't follow simple instructions that's your problem NOT mine!!

Sweet gallery...
