Tripitaka Posted June 28, 2007 Just coming out of some self imposed down time and remembering what keeps me anchored in this world. Thought I would post it in Chill Space both as a visual record and to inspire some form of creativity amongst you/response. I have had this canvas sitting around for some time and finally thought I should get it out in some physical form. These are the last few days, it is just an underpainting at this stage and will add layers once the detail is complete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajna Posted June 28, 2007 wow Santillan, i really love your work. this looks like it's going to be beautiful! keep it up i'm with you in the reawakening period at the moment too ;) *make sure everyone who hasn't followed the links in Tripi's signature does so, plenty of great work in there!* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD. Posted June 28, 2007 Keep at it Trip :D I wish i could find the motivation to pick up the pen again, it seems like so long since i started and completed a work, FAR too long. I have so many images in this lil brain that i need to get down i just dont know where the drive went or how to get it back. Even though the usual gifts from friends and family (pens pencils paints bushes books pads and whatever else) keep rolling in as they have done over the years i just cant seem to find IT. Ellie draws daily and for a lil girl that just turned 3 im extremley impressed by her ability :D, it looks like i better get off my arse before i lose it for good.

apothecary Posted June 28, 2007 Hey Tripi, I see in the background that aya painting you made, my postcard sized copy of which I still have, however what I find much more amusing, is your SKATEBOARD! Did your journey of self discovery require some mad 180 kick flips? I am probably gonna be in Sawtell for a while next week for Mr E's 7-7-7 party, are we gonna hang?

devance Posted June 28, 2007 Very Nice. It would be very nice if just computer generated but as its painted for me a mystery of how to do art. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dqd Posted June 29, 2007 Beautiful Tripi . End product = mixed-media? Works such as yours help me stay attached... yours, and others such as Magritte, Escher etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted June 29, 2007 Disappointments happen when expectations do not match up with reality. You have two options. One is to lower your expectations and hence your standards. The other is to realise that there is a reason why you have these expectations and standards and accept the fact that some others don't. Not that it will hurt any less at the time, but in retrospect you will be able to be proud of your perseverance and you will be stronger for it. It's great to have art as a medium to deal with such issues. Plants are great for the meditative and productive state they can put you in to help deal with these times, but art also provides an outlet and I have always been mildly jealous of people who have such outlets. Amazing stuff. I wonder just how much you need these times as inspiration for certain type of art? Good to have you back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tripitaka Posted June 30, 2007 Thanks guys! Your words of encouragement are greatly appreciated I wonder just how much you need these times as inspiration for certain type of art? Thats the conclusion I have come up with as well Torsten. Often as challenging as they are, it has certainly provided an "altered" state of perception from which ideas and resolves have been borne. Did your journey of self discovery require some mad 180 kick flips? Haha, you have good eyes Sina! They were some of the biggest kickflips I have ever pulled off, but they weren't based in 3D reality It will be mixed media of sorts, the background of which you cant see here will be semigloss enamel . I have developed a peculiar fascination for vintage wallpaper prints Will post some more pics next week! Thanks again, Its nice to share with this side of myself again and with my family Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devance Posted June 30, 2007 I think its perfect. Nice if completed with colours. The art world thinks a poster of Campbell Collection soup cans is art if it sells. So theres is a difference from economic reality and artistic reality. Guess who managed to create such in San Franchisco with a poster style? I will give a hint a albino. A pop culture figure based on nothing. And long ago died of aids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tripitaka Posted July 2, 2007 Starting to add the background colour and most of the patternation is nearly resolved. Will start on the flesh tones and deific arms over the next few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foolsbreath Posted July 2, 2007 Oh Yeah! I'm creaming my pants man! Thats a great piece, great for the lounge or studio Reminiscent of that 60's/70's psychedelia with those background colours! Love it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aya Posted July 3, 2007 That's amazing Tripi. I'm glad it was art that saved you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tripitaka Posted July 5, 2007 Starting to slow down now and working on detail. Wasnt too sure initially if the enamels would provide enough coverage, but with a few coats they seem saturated enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No_One Posted July 5, 2007 "Picture yourself on a boat on a river, a girl with kaleidoscope eyes"......Lennon (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds) Don't ask me why but that song popped into my head when I looked at your painting Tripi, she's only sorta got one eye hey? Anyway, it's unreal dude. Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dqd Posted July 5, 2007 From yesterday little seems real... she's beautiful tripi i wish i could hold her with my feet off the ground... thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzito Posted July 5, 2007 Tripi, that is amazing. I love it. But you know I love all your art. The few pieces you showed me at your mum's place were great. I didn't know you were on Deviantart though, that's cool news. I used to have one of Tripi's artworks, on a postcard, pinned up on my office cubicle wall. It was this great image of an Caapi vine with weird circular patterns, etc in the background. It took me out of that ringing-phone-hellhole, and deep into the amazon.
