New Paintings and Shameless Plugs(NEWLY UPDATED ON PAGE 1)

[Carl Dobsky]

NEW:

Here are two more cityscapes that will be in the cityscape show at John Pence Gallery. The opening is this Friday, Sept. 5th from 6 pm to 8 pm. You should all come. Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your dog. Bring whoever. Especially if they have beer money for afterwards!!!!!!

See ya there!


OLD:

I know the title sounds like something you could find at a shop on Folsom St. but I'm talking about a different kind.

I've been super busy with the Next Gen Atelier this year (check that thread out if you haven't seen it yet) but I've managed to make a couple of paintings that are going to be in some upcoming shows.

The portrait and skull painting are one piece. Panel painted on both front and back side. It's part of a continuing series of "Vanitas" portraits I'm doing. It'll be in a show coming up in Oct.


The cityscapes will be one of three that I have in a show coming up at John Pence. The gallery hasn't received the paintings yet so you can't find them on line yet.
But the opening is on SEPTEMBER 5TH and YOU SHOULD ALL COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd love to see you there!!!!


Speaking of cityscapes, we all know how much perspective is involved which brings me to my shameless plug---
We just put out the first volume of the educational perspective downloads. Check it out in the Download and Tutorials forum if you're into that sorta thang.

I need to re-shoot photos of the other 2 cityscapes and hopefully I'll post those pics in the next day or two.

Anyway, hope y'all will enjoys these.

"I got a whole lotta kisses" waiting for you when i get back to school in a week!

...so ya. be ready for that.

[Sir_E_Pent]

This has nothing to do with the art, by the way is great. What does the ear ring rep? I have seen it alot and just want to know. If it has any at all.

No, that would be going back to the steriotypes and it would be on the right side not the left.

[Tempor]

What does the ear ring rep? I have seen it alot and just want to know. If it has any at all.
Maybe it means the model is a closet homosexual? Sorry Jed...

Amazing stuff Carl!

[jhgoforth]

aww man that painting of the highway to oakland makes me teary eyed and miss being in the bay area again. I know that exact spot as I wandered there a few times looking for stuff. And since I use wheelchair to get around that was the point where the sidewalks got a bit iffy and i turned around ;P

[kev ferrara]

<genuflects>

[MoonVisionStudio]

Excellent.

[rlederer]

Stunning.

[Craig D]

MMmmmmm
I Like it.
Wish I could make it down for Sept.
Let us know when the next ones go public, I might try and give San Fran a visit.

[Bill]

Beautifull, thank's for sharing.

[endorphine]

love the one with the freeway.

[Robert.B]

gooodddd damn!

[emily g]

Beautiful. I love how you handled the composition on the skull piece.

[IanE]

These are fantastic!! The high quality of your work is inspirational to me, I wish I was in the Atelier!! I have a feeling these will go over extremely well.

[Jasonwclark]

That second one just shot me back to highschool.
Blown away by the skills man.

[clanlord]

Splendid work!

George

[Bowlin]

I love your stuff. Feels like an oil painting you can't replicate in a program (that I've seen). Nice atmosphere feel under the interstate. Nice colors on this underpass piece, looks almost traditional with all the browns. Simple and powerful pieces. Nice idea on the skull, feels very contemporary. Wonderful paintings. :asskisser:

[aph]

Amazing, looking forward to seeing any others.

Good luck at the show too.

[D@niel]

Superb work!

[Jorge Gecov]

Love it! Super!

[csteingart]

Amazing bro, love the subjects, nice little touches like the jacket and headphones.

[vichar]

hi very nice play of colours and light

[Unbreakable]

Awesome work Carl!

[romance]

Epic work, C-Note. Your the best man... you did it.

[Dirty C]

Sup dude! So yeah these are super nice - I must say though I've still yet to see a reproduction of your work that did the original justice (except for the one in Juliette Aristides' Classical Painting Atelier book - which everyone should check out - but then I'm making an assumption cause I haven't actually seen that painting haha)

Anyway, you know I'll be there in September, and look forward to meeting a few new people too - so everyone come show daddy love.

PS: Buy carl's product.

[Victor B]

Busy man! Lovely work Carl thanks for a sharing, also have to add in big thanks for the perspective info ,loved part one looking forward to part 2, cheers.

[Bomba]

Always humbled by your work and inspired.
-J-

[nonie]

These are fantastic... The ipod phones on the back of Jed's Vanitas are so perfect :)

[MrLabGuy]

Wow...I just joined to get some inspiration. I've obviously come to the right place.

Great work

[Layil]

these look great carl, some of your best yet.
i only wish you wouldnt be so modest and post the REST of em!

[stephen]

nice.. would be sweet to see em in person.

[BRAT_777]

I agree with Layil, where are the rest of them??? That painting of Jedmo is so much more vibrant in real life. You know, like you Carl! Then again, how can a machine possibly emulate such vibrancy and depth. Definitely one of my favorites from you.

Now stop being such a dick teaser and post some more. :P

[Dirty C]

Yeah there was some painting of some latin looking chick was pretty well done I seem to recall.

[Layil]

yeah, or two!

***twinz!!!****

[Brashen]

Damn good job mate!!

[BRAT_777]

Reeeaaally? They let mexicans into the Atelier? Was it the cleaning lady?

[mr. m]

some awesome skills here heh!
post more!

[se7en_]

Dude these are crazy good. Post more : )

[Shamagim]

Yaaay! paintings!

Muestre mas pues :).

[Robert.B]

How long do you usually spend on one of your master paintings, and how many sit down sessions do you break them up into?

[chrisc]

beautiful! I'm always impressed by your work.

[Dirty C]

Melissa Lee: "Is that Dirty C's butt?"

Dobsky: "Yeah. How'd you know?"

Lee: "Cause it looks DELICIOUS"

[Icon]

Reeeaaally? They let mexicans into the Atelier? Was it the cleaning lady?

nah it was just me... but it was just a coincidence I had orange latex gloves and
broom at the time, honest!!

Carl, these paintings are gorgeous. I love seeing them in person whenever I get the chance. I want more?

[Blue Severin]

Damn, that shit looks good framed. Can't wait to see how the others'll look. Inspring as hell to watch these come out

[BFWingard]

Wow! Great stuff Carl. That portrait is amazing.

[m@.]

Very cool work Carl :) thanks for sharing!

[Mr.Blonde]

this song is for you carl!

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one
I dont know where Im running now, Im just running on

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But Im running behind

Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I dont know when that road turned onto the road Im on

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But Im running behind

Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I dont know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, thatll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I dont know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But Im running behind

Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
Id love to stick around but Im running behind
You know I dont even know what Im hoping to find
Running into the sun but Im running behind

[Molly]

...hey treacle, when I grow up, I wanna paint just like yoo...

[Blue]

*whistles*

Setting the bar a little high for the rest of us, aren't you?

[Mr. Scribbles]

Simply amazing.

[Caffeine_stream]

Amazing stuff, the road painting is great it has a fantastic sense of depth

[Pixeltuner]

wow. I can almost pull the subjects out of the screen, amazing. :)
Just bought the perspective vid, (downloading as we speak) and this makes me want to see it even more. :p

[Theo]

dont kill your gorgeous paintings with such hard jpeg compression man! I wouldnt mind waiting ten times as long for the download....

these are great pieces anyhow. I love the shadows in the bridges piece. woah.

-t

[Pavel Sokov]

solid paintings!

[Grafguy]

just stunning :O

[rlederer]

Wow!!! Magnificent work!

[Carl Dobsky]

Two new ones on the first page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Opening at John Pence in SF. Friday Sept. 5th from 6 pm to 8 pm!!!!!!
Everyone is invited!!!!!!!

[metalwinds]

Excellent work and I really wish I could see these in person. For the landscapes are you painting from photographic reference or do you paint on location? Do you paint studies for the final canvases?

Danny

[mr. m]

wish i could be there - its a bit far away... <:)

[Jason Manley]

Dobsky will be down to see you at the workshop in wellington in Nov.


Carl that brick building/homeless...wtf. captured that one entirely. would love to see more of them.

[mr. m]

coooool!
good luck for the opening - catch you guys in welli then! :)

[beigeape]

stunning work man, ive been amazed by your work for the last year, such a great sense of design(the way the light leads you to the bag lady, sweeeet)
the handling of paint as well, got a lot to learn from you. cheers for the post

[Serpian]

That one with the brick house.... AMAZING. Nothing but asspats! :)

[Jorge Gecov]

Super!!!!!

[DavePalumbo]

Awesome stuff Carl, wish I could be in town for the show. I didn't know you showed at John Pence, the woman who runs the gallery I'm with in Philly was telling me to go check them out next time I'm in SF. Best of luck with the opening :)

[Blue Severin]

Fucking A man, way to kill paintings. I won't have to sneak around to get a look at them now ;).

[Elwell]

Carl, I love your cityscapes more than anything.

[Art_Addict]

Lovely work Carl! Wish I could see the show.

[nonie]

Ah, I love that red Parking one... Can't wait for the show! See you there :)

[psychoboy]

beautiful creation. My favs will be the dude's portrait & the tattooed chick

[Jason Juta]

Great work, especially the red-lit parking garage. You inspire me to do more non-digital work.

[Dirty C]

For those of you who only read threads once you see my name is the last post (I know there's at eight people who do this*) then you should all get of yo ass and come down to Carl's opening tonight where he done some paintings with perspective in them. They're really good and the more of you that come the less time he'll have to rag on me for my lacklustre performance.

It's here: http://www.johnpence.com/

Thank you.

*I created most of the accounts myself

[Vraahl]

I love your work. Especially the studio pieces. Hope to be able to see some live someday. I want to put them under closer scrutiny.
I was admiring the stillife with the skull, and thinking - I could actually sacrifice some part of my body for that.
Rock on !

[Pavel Sokov]

That last one with the homeless person and red brick building pushed the limits of realism. It is hard to believe paint can even do that. You are a stunna definately.

[/ev]

Stunning work on that figure Carl, thanks for sharing.

[nonie]

Dude the show was awesome. Couple other dudes there were almost as good as you, Carl ^_^

[djobuk]

Really solid work. I especialy like the last one.
