    The Art

    This week I made a commitment to myself that I would endeavor to have one painting in finishing, one in background, and two in prep each week.  Of course that means that I didn’t accomplish any of it.  Well, technically I did, but it was a rework of a painting I started two weeks ago.  I am REALLY digging this painting and drawing every day biz.  It’s even more fun when others join in with me.

    The studio has TWO whole members now.  That’s a doubling of membership for every week it’s been open.  We’re developing a schedule of classes to encourage others to come out and play was well.  I’ll keep you posted on that as it develops.  In the meantime, if you’re in Oklahoma and out driving around some night, swing by and see what we’re all about.

    The Links

    Every week on The Artistic Biker Live! we turn the links on in the chat room for the last ten minutes of the show.  That way, if anyone has any creativity type links they want to share, they can.  Then I review them to ensure that the porn ones are kept safely away from prying eyes and bookmarked for “Figure Drawing” reference later, and present to you all the family friendly(ish) ones.  Here are this week’s links:

  • Daddy/Daughter Breakfast Sketches 13OCT2012

    After two weeks without it, it sure was great being able to go to breakfast with Girl2 again.  With soccer, Brownies, and sleep overs with her friends, I’m afraid my time with her is just going to keep getting shorter.  But for now, we’ll go to breakfast together as much as we can and sketch.

    The Easels

    For a while now, I’ve had a feature on the show called, “What’s On Your Easel”.  Most people only show me their finished works instead of what they are currently working on.  So I’m changing the venue to be “What do you want to show off this week?”  That’s too long of a tile, so I’m going with “Whatchya Doin’?”  Here’s this week’s submissions:

    My friend Dewey sent these:

    Since it is the first week of this year’s Halloweeny Season, I did a spooky, scary page of what happens when I compliment my bride wrong.  All I said was, “There’s nothing sexier than a woman doing housework!”

    The Art

    Candlelight Red Naked Ladies Big Rooster

    I’m really into the bright colors and close up point of view right now.  I can never seem to turn a camera on while doing one of these.  It always turns out that I’m sitting there trying to decide what I’m going to paint, and then suddenly I’m painting.  Once I decide what I’m going to paint, these are usually done in just a few hours.  Wacky.

     

    The Easels

    Every week, I ask for submissions for The Artistic Biker Live! “What’s On Your Easel” feature.  In this case, your easel is wherever you create, whether its painting, drawing, practice, sculpting, any of the visual arts, or photographs of your culinary and performance arts.  The submissions will go here.  If you would like to submit something, send me a photo of it to blade@artisticbiker.com, or tweet it to me @bladetheartist.

     

    Daddy/Daughter Breakfast

    Sadly, this week’s Daddy/Daughter Breakfast didn’t happen.  We stayed up until 1am, unheard of for a 7 year old.  Girl2 didn’t even roll out of bed on Saturday until 10 and then it was time to leave for her soccer game.  She has an early game next week too, so we probably won’t get to go then either.  That’s the ONLY thing I dislike about her playing soccer.

    The Opening

    This week’s video is a slideshow presentation of just some of the work involved in getting the studio opened.  This was a lot of work and I can’t thank everyone enough for all of their encouragement along the way.  There is still a lot of work to do, but getting open is a HUGE achievement.  Thank you all so much!
