Sheesh! So many talented people here...

*Mr. Wyndham* · 04-20-2008, 11:38 PM

These are all brilliant!!

These aren't exactly "art" in the traditional sense...but I like to think of them as art in their own special way.

As you will see - I'm more of a tangible/3 dimentional kind of guy as opposed to drawing...I just never got into it, I guess.

The vase was done in 7th grade art class. Blew the teacher away, I might add, what with the flowers sticking out and all.

And this is my proudest creation yet. 5' x 5' x 30" Kitchen Table.
The table top is made of 1 1/8 inch particle-board (heavy as hell), but all the hardwood pieces are primarily made of Oak, with Walnut inlays in the apron, and the corners of the legs. A laminate surface was used because this is a heavily used piece, and I'd like to minimize any scratching. If you look close at the second and third picture, you can see a little groove transitioning the laminate to the hardwood. All done in my High School's wood shop in 12th grade. Took me just over 6 months at about 4.5 hours a week.

I'm so sorry for the Huge amount of pictures

WOW Im impressed...

Mindz and bumblee I wish I could do anything close to that without having to draw it! we've got some seriously talented people here!

Dragon what the he!!...talk about craftmanship the vase alone is impressive simply because I dont have a clue how you made it. That table

I know what goes into something like that, my old man was a carpenter and that table is excellent

Bumblebee those portraits are beautiful I can say you know the gray scale. I wish I still had some of the portraits I did:(

I haven’t done any personal “art” to speak of lately. At least not since doing the graphic design stuff...

Here’s an example of what I do at work:

Yup, I do those junk-mail thingies that fill up your mail box

That table is unbelieveable! And you did that in highschool Dragoneye?!

*Mindz* · 04-24-2008, 03:35 AM

I'll see if I can scan some of my drawings from school years ago. I found them all when I moved. I have a cool sketch that I drew of a subaru wrx ad for some company, and also a decent drawing of an apple.
