Thank You Michalis

Kokoro..Thank You...I'm trying to go way beyond the photo type snapshots of which there are already millions of out there, in capturing the feelings that i'm after with these action pieces..Hopefully I will have developed a decent technique for achieving that emotional feeling that i'm after in my works by the time i'm finished with this boxing and boxers series that i'm working on...I know i'll have fun in the process of trying to ..That much I do know for sure..

hey hey Glen! that came out great. As I've said before you're nipping at the heels of George Bellows. i think we're witnessing the birth of a new modality in art - the hybrid sculptor-painter is born.

Its amazing the way you portray dynamic motion in your pieces.....I'm allways surprised when I see you portray the same subject in a new way.....

Magbhitu..Thank You .Hey John..it's in great part to you for sending me the link to the boxing paintings of George Bellows, that some of these pieces that i'm finishing bare a resemblance in style to his boxing paintings..His boxing paintings are great inspirations to study and learn from....So I thank you for turning me on to his Inspirational works..They have given me a great path to follow and explore further than I would have otherwise...Thanks John


Thank You Deke.....I got the idea to make a bunch of different versions from the same 3D tool and piece in part from the idea Meats Meier puts forth in the illustration section of his DVD Introduction to ZBRUSH 3..He basically said that it's possible to make a 100 different paintings/illustrations using the same 3D tool using the method that he uses and demontrates in his DVD.
I like his idea and enjoy doing it that way , and with some imagination and alot of work,...it works great... for me anyway..

Wow, Glenn. These last few pieces are stunning! I'm ashamed to admit I hadn't been watching your thread very closely the last few days. But let me say that these new boxing pieces are simply stunning works of art! you've attained the ability to convey not only motion, but speed and raw bone-jarringly physical impact.lIf I saw a print of the last one hanging in a gallery I would buy it in a heartbeat (if I could afford it ). Amazing work, Glenn!

Hey Thank You Gary ...I'm just trying to get rid of that static frozen in time feeling of a photo or sculpture trying to be a painting, and am going for actual expressionistic paintings with a painterly feeling to them, and am doing it by using the sculptures forms as volumes in a space that I've created, ..I'm after works that capture my own feeling about the subject in the ways that you stated above in your post...Thanks for putting it so nicely into words that express what i'm after in and with my works ...

Smokin Joe Frazier connects with that mighty left hook of his, and Muhammad Ali begins his decent down to the canvas in their first title bout.
