DUMP

So this is what I have been working on, evolution and all that.

It's not all 100% and not all the colors are perfect, theres also three more characters after the mammal, so in the end a lot.

Thanks, lemme know what you think.

the biggest lie.

this is a picture i did for a friend of mine (Jeremy). it's of Elliott Smith. The face took forever, but i finally got it right once i messed around with it enough.

Incline by Caylie

which is ironic...since i helped pick the word.

Illustration Friday

This is what i came up with for the word
Thanksgiving

TOTALLY late.

I apologize on that one, guys. It's been a crazy weekend.

Incline


I might colour it or something. With coffee.

another new week...

another new theme... i think it is food and beverages this time. i think all of you will be able to create something pretty clever !

Updated my blogger page

Just wanted to say that I added some more drawings to my page if any one wants to take a look.

Just click my name in the links list
or here is a link to the page

what started as an erect penis graphic turned into something better...

my inclination is...

incline: to cause to deviate from a line or direction;

to bend of the mind or will...

"inclination" by amber

i'm feeling inclined to post... haha

super cute bunny with a gun,"For some reason I feel inclined to shoot this hick". and yes that's a hookah hidden in the picture...

hmm.

i was just making this for fun... but i guess it could go with the weekly word also. it doesn't feel completely finished, and i have no idea what else to add.

werd of da week......

yup

Incline from marc

Incline... no one knows if he is sad for the fact that he has to use stairs or the fact that his self esteem is getting to him. The incline is from his realization of his obesity and rising above it and control his hunger... or he's just a fat kid that hates stairs.

i did the type with my typewriter, and i just drew the bird seperately. i pretty much did it all in photoshop.

two year old collage

...i always wanted to be a musician....

Just some drawings

Just a bird in a tree

Coffee Break

next week's word...

... is incline. i decided to go more for a word instead of a theme. if you have any questions about the word, go here: www.dictionary.com

if you want to still post your entries, incase you were late... you may do so.

Emily leaps into action!

So mine is late also, cause i'm trendy like that... song lyric from Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb...

Nik's Post, Rehashed:

They made a statue of us
And it put it on a mountain top
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs for fun, for fun

-Regina Spektor, "Us"


I had a better one for this challenge, but I didn't finish in time.


Howzabout "MOVIE POSTERS" for the next theme? It could be anything from fictional movies, to re-workings of existing movies, or any combination of the two. What say ye?

Jōhäŋ Réūsse's Lame ass Lyric drawing:

"I like to pretend I'm speed reading." Mope- Blood Hound Gang

Hey, this is Amy and I'm working off of my work computer for right now, so no art to post, but soon. I'm pretty much happiest when I have a brush in my hands, but I'm also really crafty and like doing major "projects" like painting furniture.

me.

so, it's me amber.

i like to create absract things or geometric things. i think i just like the feel of the pen or brush moving in my hand.

this is oil pastels on bristol that i created this summer during the heat wave...

(it didn't scan that well- the yellow is really brassy and metallic that looks better in person)

durp?

is photography allowed?




too bad.



some work i've done on a web comic i'm working on with the lovely vanesa littlecrow w.

long story short, it's about abortion.

for you

this is a drawing i started a few weeks ago and just now got around to finishing...well, sorta finishing. i might put in some kind of background and do something with the shadow, since i'm not so sure about it.

ok.

update.

I will be taking submissions for the "song lyrics" theme on Friday. What we can do is post every entry as comment, to keep all of the entries on one post. that will keep everything organized and neat. Cheers!

Ace and Bog

I gotta thank Billy first, for putting this together as a resource for artists like us.




This is Alicia "Ace" Machiavelli.

Her weekly webcomic (which is on vacation until November 11th) is at KillerDyke.com. Vanesa Littlecrow writes the scripts for this little piece and I just draw it.



That said, I'm pumped for this first challenge of ours. Song lyrics, it is!

worrrd.

hey you guys, it's me (billy). just wanted to say hi and thank you for taking an interest in this site! for a couple months now, i've been quite inspired by the likes of http://www.drawn.ca and http://www.illustrationfriday.com websites . i felt i needed to get some friends involved so we can create a collective of artists from the minneapolis area who want to do something creative and fun. this gives us a chance to really show our individual artistic qualities. here's a little something that i finished a couple of days ago. it's a combination of illustrator and photoshop:

please, introduce yourselves, your art, and whatever else!

Welcome!

Hey guys! Welcome to the Minneapolis Art Community Blog! First off, to all the people who have gotten the invites, feel free to post a recent art piece or whatever, and write a few words about it.

After thinking about it, I figured it would be a waste of a couple weeks to just have everyone sitting around doing nothing, so I figured I would create the first theme today...

SONG LYRIC(S).

It will be due on SUNDAY. It's going to be a short week, but that's only because I want to get things rolling. While it is the first week, you can just choose to do the "about me" portion. I would prefer if you did both, though! :)

Good Luck!

-Billy
