Happy New Year Conceptart.org!!!

I like start off the new year with a new finished artwork, every year i make an image based on the catholic religion, as some of you know i have been doing this every year since i was in first grade. This year i chose Jesus as my subject matter, after several image searches i realized there was a place within the digital akashic record for a new interpretation of this global avatar. This is my version. I cant remember the last time i put so much time into a single Image.

I will have a 24x36 inch translucent print version of this image at a show in La jan 9th at the new temple of vision gallery (http://templeofvisions.com/events-list/) in downtown Los Angeles. Please come out if you are in the area. :yayca::android:



..............................................

if this image resonates with you and you would like to spend some analog time hanging out with Jesus, here is a hi rez file i have made available to download and share.

i Have also been working on updating my website,
you can visit www.androidjones.net to check out the beta and please give me any feedback you have on the layout and structure.


I Wish all of you an amazing decade, Ive been spending time with Manley this week and himself Coro and Carl are working around the clock on creating some new amazing creative possibilities for all of you in 2010.\\

Hello again.

A few words to get you in the mood for the beauty lecture.

You might ask why give a lecture on beauty?

Because I love it.

I have been consciously pursuing the dragon's tail of beauty in my work for the past 3 years. I can say with all confidence that it has improved the value and quality of my life and it gave me something profoundly meaningful to share with the world at large.

It's infectious and I feel compelled to share it with you tomorrow.

Beauty gives more than it takes, and it is my goal to give you as much as I can, and have you take away an experience that inspires you to go forward in your personal investigation into the mystery of beauty.

I want everyone to know how much I honor the support that you continue to bring to this site and I will do my best to make the investment that you make in this opportunity one that adds value to your art and reality.

if this invitation resonates with you please click here to find out how to sign up, join the other beauty seekers from around the world and lets dive deeper into the mystery tomorrow.

Friday may 15th I will be presenting my work is a special exhibition in Toronto at the Meta Gallery,
http://www.androidjones.com/images/2009/kk_aj_flyer_meta.jpg
the pieces in the show will represent the largest and highest quality manifestation of my work ever created,
we have printed the images on Fujiflex prints mounted on Dibond aluminum boxes. its the closes thing you can get to resolution of the original monitor

here's is a rough size comparison to give you an preview of what to expect. the divine mother will be over 2 meters tall
http://www.androidjones.com/images/2009/META_PREVIEW.jpg

At the opening i will also be giving a Pha_Droid performance

and on Saturday the 16th i will be giving a very special lecture/demonstration/performance . We have rented out a beautiful Catholic cathedral and its ours all night , doors are at 5pm. this lecture is intended to share information that may not be appropriate for forums and cocnepart workshops, topic like spirituality , ayahuasca , entheogens are all fair game, I have just returned from a 3 week spiritual pilgrimage through the amazon and the mountains of Peru and i have a couple stories to share. My intention for this event it to share and enlighten artists on unorthodox means of inspiration, the sacred power of digital art. and the Role that i believe artists have in this strange modern moment of history .;) seating is limited, suggested donation is 50$ however no earnest seeker will be refused admission for lack of funds.


beyond Toronto
Ive been busy with allot of other projects and traveling as well, here are a few recent works Ive done over the past few months

First post 2009

hi......


So I hope everyone has had a chance to see the instructor list (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=148701) for the dallas reverie workshop .

even i have to marvel at what an over the top accumulation of talent that will be present at that event,
texas is all about bigger, better, faster, harder, and that's what your going to get, its a total digital art enima for your creative being. this may never happen again so take hold of your destiny ,be UNreasonable and make it out to this event, your transformation awaits you.



As always it has been far to long, Ive missed you all very much
its been a wild year so far, Time for an official Pixel Purge..
I’ve been doing as much traveling around the world as possible, taking corel painter and the wacom and live digital painting to new frontiers, despite the occasional perks allot of my time is spent in airports, buses , train stations, tube stations, taxi cabs and security screening lines, carrying up to 140 kilos of gear across borders. All for the sake of art. its not as glamorous as you may think, but its what i need to be doing.



I started of 2009 in Brazil for a massive 12,000-person 9-day trance party on the beach; it was an adventure to say the least,

After Brazil I headed out to Costa Rica for an event called manifesto,

The last international journey out to Australia, I did live painting at the rainbow serpent festival, out of all my travels Australia is on the top of my list, if there are any aussies on the boards drop in and saw hi, I plan on making a trip back there as soon as I can.

I painted this New Years Eve. In Brazil

Some of this is clearing out 2008 live paintings and the others are some newer works . i feel like i have a folder with hundreds of paintings that are 90% done, sometimes when you leave them alone for a while and check back in on them they are finished...:).

anyways, awezome work... and why cant u guys have a workshop in europe someday? cause i dont have the monney to come all the way to america =(.

[Gulzaar]

[JailHouseRock2]

Amazing stuff as all ways, thanks for sharing:)!

cheers

[steak-tron]

Damn you've been busy! You sir are the leonardo of trance illustrations :)

C U in TEXASS!

[e338]

I like when you combine your drawing skills with your fucked up mish mash of vector shapes. The "pure" trance thingy gets confusing sometime (yet it is interresting and delicate).
LA and san fancisco's are my favourites.

[Barts]

aussie aussie aussie

[Evil_Sloth]

oi oi oi!

[Demo]

Dear god this is the best update of your work yet and iv seen all the others
every piece is so dynamic and different from the last.

Someday Andrew were gona have a throw down of art but not yet give me like 10 years to keep studying then will mix it up
Keep it fresh and take a break this is an ungodly amount of work

[WODZGN]

I have the utmost respect for you and your artistical journey. Thank you so much for sharing! Brilliant stuff... just brilliant.

[Diego]

WOW man, these are outstanding. Thank you for sharing andrew.

[Iridyse]

There's so much energy, so much magic in these pieces!
Thank you.

[Liam Harvey]

hey Android, loving the work. and woooo go Australia.
thanks for these, they are really inspiring.

[i-god]

shit that is good.

[sourgasm]

sunset at rainbow serpent is just amazing. i happened to hit that one right at the peak moment in a (non-screamy) Envy song i was listening to and i got completely lost for a few minutes there.

these are all really awesome. i feel cheated because my simple simian eyes keep getting sucked in by just the color, composition and abstract gooey greatness of it, when in reality there is so much more going on.

i think you should bestow more of those 90% finished ones on us ;P

[Kan Muftić]

Whoa.. Amazing.
You into psychedelic trance stuff? Man, some of my best party memories come from those endless nights in forests with goa beats..
Respect,
Khan

[Farvus]

Andrew Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Art :D

[alti]

great flow of shapes, to me they convey a dance of playfull colour.

cheers

[Darjan Jurincic]

very inspirational sir!
tnx a lot for being around and making such wonderful art.

[Crazydude]

hey just want to say i love these artworks you
have done! so inspiring and it have an always a
some kind of harmony in the
artwork, just wonderful to see and i hope you can some time in the future come
to northern Scandinavia in the summer festivals and create some magic! :P
cheers!

[brujahbart]

As always, a constant source of inspiration. Your paintings always resonate deep with in me, its like a 2d therapy treatment lol

[headlessAdi]

a crazy god thats what u are!!!....thanks for sharing this thread!

[Capital G]

Jaw dropping work Andrew, your use of colour is amazing, see you in Dallas!

[Ryuartyi]

Amazing work Andrew. Every piece is bursting with color and intricate details, it's hard to look away.

One of my dreams is to travel the world and paint, and you're doing just that. Much respect.

[TheGnoll]

wow

thank you very much for sharing these :)

[gruve24]

really cool where your taking your new style, I'm still amazed at the boss monster image your created. I like when you have a lot atmospheric textures, more reserved with the bright colors and create solid forms in all those details.

[Azuma, Hironori]

In my pursuit of being a higher quality artist, my heart tells me that I should study what your doing and learn to expand upon it. Definitely going to have to jump on that digital download.

I honestly think you are going down in history as a great pioneer of our time. It's really an honor to be able to see you in your growth before your existence is taught in textbooks.

I can't wait to work for Massive Black. I really hope it becomes a possibility for me.

[Ashrumm]

very cool, thanks for sharing these!

[donkeyslayer]

The colors you used to paint the skies in the 3rd picture are truth.
Thank you for existing during my lifetime.
See you in Dallas :).

[Furitsu]

Andrew, these are quite good, actually. Just keep at it, work hard, and you'll be up there with the big boys in say... 2 or 3 years?



:D :D Nah, who am I kidding!
Seriously now: awesome, mesmerizing, breathtaking work! Just beautiful!

[krossj]

incredible work!

cheers for posting!

[TRIPLE-R]

My brain has just been vaporized hahaha. Great visionary work as always.


-TRPL-R

[archipelago]

absolutely stunning work.

It was a joy to meet you at both the wellington workshop and at rainbow! an amazing workshop and festival for sure.

what was going on at the bassnectar set? i could see you painting but sadly there was no screen for the audience.

also, would you mind posting the portrait you did of the red haired model in wellington please? the smoke effects you pulled off in that one where mesmorizing.

looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the rest of the year, if 2008 was two thousand and eight the great, then surely 2009 is two thousand and nine the sublime.

cheers.

[Muz]

Amazing as always.

I just want to thank you for those words you said to me back at marama, it made me think hard about where my art was going and what the hell i was doing. What you said was harsh but it was what i needed to hear. I know it wasn't much but that little bit was enough to push me back on track so i can aim for the stars. So thanks man!!

If you come back to Aus, come to Brisbane and make sure you let us know! :D.

[AphexTweak]

That was totally worth staying up really late for... How am I suppose to go to sleep after seeing all that awesome work. Will have to check back again in the morning for another look. Wow... :xpld: :yayca:

[blobs]

Yep, that's absolutely stunning work A-man!

[Chate Noire]

Breathtaking.
The colors are so powerful it hurts.

[Chuck,mate.]

Andrew, Mate, I hope they NEVER find the cure for whatever type of OCD you`re suffering from... :)
seriously - I just get lost inside your artwrok... I have to pick up what`s left of my jaw everytime anew.

you`re a brilliant brilliant dude.
much love and respect.

it seems the dallas reverie workshop is going to be the mother of all blowouts...
sure wish I could be there.

always a pleasure gazing at your work, Android.
thanks for these.

cheers,
Patri.

but with each progressing picture,my brain kinda slowed down,and finally grinded to a halt.
beautiful stuff man,really beautiful. my total favourite is the third "logo" on the right,from the "arose" layout...it just fills me with peace...i find it intriguing...it's kinda funny,of all the stuff here,this one just strikes me as perfection. the ashtree and adam are very nice too,but that one...really,i'm caught in a loop.
have a great time in dallas,you crazy sunuvabitch :)

[ColbyZ]

pure inspiration. Very nice!

[cesmls]

Sensory overload!

So glad to see you expanding your colour palette. Gorgeous, just gorgeous.

[Cephalopoid]

Mr. Andriod sah,
as a reclusive member of these hallowed forums, and a bonafide Australian (well, Tasmanian..- it's the bit 'hanging off the bottom' of the big island!)
I heartily welcome you to our southern land... & must recommend our wilderness as a fine source of inspiration & relaxation..
Y'all have fun in Dallas now- y'hear?

Thanks for making CA amazing & leaving the rest of us gobsmacked by your visual alchemy..:yayca:

& yes, I'll post some stuff soon!

Dr.Kthulon

[bearfoot]

Colorburst!!!

[Pavel Sokov]

That's some beatifull stuff man!
The first few blew my mind

[Movenski]

these're like an orgy for my eyes! very inspirational and motivational i'm excited to see you in action in Dallas

[Lone Wolf]

Andrew, you never fail to inspire. Magnificent work!

[Juhani Jokinen]

Hello Andrew,

Your stuff never seems to amaze me. Always a pleasure.

Thank you for sharing!

-Juhani

[Mox3d]

Gooooood lord! One of those times where I'm like... how dey do dat :)

And when I'm asking myself questions like that... well. Thats it isn't it. Things aren't what they first appear to be, or, things as they appear to be aren't quite what they are, or, I love this shit!

100% Brilliance.

[TASmith]

Thank you very much. There's so much work and each one is killer. I love the faces. Do you think you could ever do a comic where each page had this level of detail?

[Saigokarasu]

Oh my...

How did you do these!? Which program and what tools?

[naetronic]

...wiping the drool from my mouth...amazing work, organic perfection, brazil and SF are my favorites! Thanks for so much inspiration!

[JinRa]

so amazing. aghha. These are one of my favourite pieces ever!

[Clochette]

So much sound in all your stuff, it's like some music transformed in pictures... Funny you went to the Boom :)

[Earendil]

These are awesome! I love the Bluetech one, he's also in my playlist. That's cool you know him, but not surprising either. :) I'm looking forward to seeing you do one of these live at the Dallas party.

[zeal]

Do you study nature, on drugs? Seriously....
This is some of my favorite, I love all the little details and
hallucinations going on. Thanks for the posting this visual treat, it really is amazing.

[Zresh]

You are a god among painters Andrew. Love the work.

[markwagner]

your creative transformation is only a few decisions away

Jones, Wagner here, sweet. I see your spirit connecting up with your work, very exciting. Journey on safely, inwards and out.

~M

[Benjamen Christ]

wow! thanks for all the inspiration, and of course, your shared knowledge and radiant presence! painting with you is a dream come true! thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! Alright , back to painting in absolute bliss:)!!!!!!

see ya in Dallas,

Christ

[Hookswords]

You sir, are a demon. I'm convinced. Only through unholy ritual can those colors be put to canvas, digital or otherwise. Amazing as always.

[Mungus]

Android, can you please do a shit picture,

somehow it would make us think we can catch up.......

[Mungus]

I agree with Hookswords,

every evening, Android sits within a candlelit pentagram, reciting Mettallica lyrics backwards, whilst holding down the 'create new layer' button......

[sinewavezero]

Your art is beautiful as always - the first piece is a most elegant view into the mysterious n wacky dimension of La Madre's hyperspace. It's amazing how whether you are a Shipibo shaman or a western psychonaught, the mindscape is always similar; the hyperspace broadcasts at two thousand and twelve frames per second no matter who the viewer might be. Nice work on capturing some of those frames and purging them into this realm.

[Cam Sykes]

o f*ck was my initial reaction, thanks for posting

[Littleman]

incredible as always my man,
seeing you do live portrait painting of that girl at Boom in the summer was a mind-blowing experience to say the least!
didnt even know you were gona be there till i picked up the festival paper that morning, properly made my day.:sungod:

[Grief]

you jerk. you were in salem kicking out art jams and i had no idea. you have no idea how angry that makes me at myself for being a hermit when youre in my backyard.

excellent as always
love,
grief

[TMYDesign]

Thanks for sharing these. I think these are absolutely amazing.

[PieterV]

Your best batch yet imo. :)

[Tranchefeux]

All my félicitaions for this selection. a great work of Art.

[Asatira]

Amazing, jaw dropping stuff. I especially enjoyed Ash Tree.

[Phlikone]

Wow. I'm usually not a fan of digital art but...WOW.

That's all I have to say.

[Helioth]

congratulations

...now to make the equivalent of the nobel peace prize, for art, so you can be its first recipient in a few years if you carry on like this :|

[Azuma, Hironori]

This thread made me download one of your tutorials (FineArt1) and I also watched some youtube interviews of you... I really dig the guitar-style tablet stance you got going on. Really lives out the whole "Art superhero" thing.

My only complaint about the download is the super muffled audio... I have to blast my volume to make out the words you're saying but then BG music starts playing once you're done and I scare the crap out of myself and the pets in my room. Lulz.

I find your lassoing of shapes (really strange shapes) and rendering inside the selection to make the highlights pop out even further even more impressive than your composing of shapes.

You make me want to turn my back on photoshop and devote to painter (freaking LOVE the glowing brushes- can't quite capture the same effect in PS).

[Oblio]

i was hoping to surprise you - working on that thing - sending an update.
You get back here and post stuff to unwrap the last year on me.
I miss you. And i love those things. Boom sunrise seems so far away now...

[3alola]

AmAzInG StUFF

Great thanks to you andrew

[Phuzion]

I have to say... seeing the evolution of this style you've established/are developing, has been really impressive. I'm loving where it is going. I wasn't sure at first, to be honest, but damn if it doesn't just kick some ass. I think I even see a Tron 3 in there somewhere :P Props man. Maaaad props.

Cheers,
~d

[deltron05]

It seems like your "body" does a lot of traveling around the world, new places inspires you in most vivid ways, but your "soul" travels trough your art into our minds.

FUNtastic work Andrew !!
D.

[Dan.v.D.]

there's alot going on but where it clicks it CLICKS!
it clicks thru time and space and gets baby jesus startled.

[threecharles]

Wow, killer stuff Andrew. You are definitely still getting better. Reminds me, the other day Brandes was telling me about you showing him your sketch book as a freshman CA. The world is so small. You will all definitely see me on the battlefield in some odd years.

[Portus]

These are all fantastic, so that's the Brazilian sunset you talked about in the Painter 11 video :D You were here in Lisbon? Hope it wasn't for a live show and I ended up missing it.

Are you ever going to update your blog? Google Reader is so practical to keep up with the artists work, it's like a journal everyone can read.

[BlueVon]

very lovely imagery. i would love to experiment some of this style some time. all though this question comes to mind; where do you get those awesome brushes for Coral Painter? ive seen the video on YouTube of Andrew Jones and he also had all those awesome brushes too. so where could i get these awesome shape/texture brushes?

[threecharles]

I cant recall if the digital downloads had them, but I think so.

[Cuervo]

... three thumbs up..... maybe even four..... ;)

[Benjamen Christ]

w0w!!!!!!!

[MR T罔]

wow. Incredible......

[vardoburrito]

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I really appreciate your download contents.
Solid Gold!

[Daniel Andrews]

Shitfuck, Way to push the envelope Andrew.
Wonderful work man.

[digi]

MIND BLOWING!! :sungod:

[Max Challie]

Thanks for posting these, Android! It seems like your work has a lot more layers and concise compositions than a couple years ago (although I haven't been here long). These are really stunning!

Your speech at Marama was uplifting and taught me a lot about intuition and life. I'd like to thank you again for taking such a wonderful event all the way down here to little New Zealand :)

[Android]

looking forward to meeting the Toronto concept art crew this Friday .

[Divine Oblivion]

Just downloaded your CA demo vid here 'Droid!!! Awesome work, amazing to watch your process, and I'm absolutely jealous of your wacom strap! :P I'd love to see you at Toronto, but I haven't the funds. Come on through L.A one of these times!

[zeal]

ChicaGO NEEDS Massive Black Love. That sounds so gay!

[Jason Ross]

Love the work Android. I love how you manage to find a use for so many brushes. Thanks for the new desktop image.

[patrick j jones]

Outstanding as always Andrew. Wasn't aware you were down here in Oz, would like to have seen you do your stuff.

Best regards,

P.

[Android]

Im Sitting in the gallery now, looking at the new prints they are by far the most accurate reproduction 3d manifestation of a digital file i have ever seen, it will be a hard transition to ever want to go back to canvas printing after this, anyone who is interested in seeing this printing technique in action can make it out to the opening tonight,
and then give your artistic ego a shotgun blast in the face when you see Kris Kuski sculptures. they are something you need to see in person to truly grasp the impact they have on the psyche. The work Kris is making will surely go down in art history and one of this centuries great artistic minds. So come out tonight and see it for yourself in person!

[Dragonis]

you r the :am::aa::as::at::ae::ar:! respect :bow:

[erik-jan v/d schuur]

cool update Andrew!

i tryd to copy one of your old sketches this week
to study how you do your lines and all (i can learn someting out of that)
it was hard pff..you got beautiful lines and curves and everything
and its all so clean

love your sketches and digitals to ofcourse, the detail and colors... its insane

greets

[Daniel Andrews]

I hope the Shows going great man!

[demeter_luna]

Wow Andrew this is stunning!
You have inspired me ever since I saw you at Adapt in 2007. What you do is so rich and deep in meaning. Congrats! :)

[Benjamen Christ]

yeah! soooooo good to see these!!!! thank you Andrew!

[Dan Milligan]

Show was fantastic. Those prints are freakin crazy.
Was great to throw my arms around you. Really good to see ya bro.

luv you

d

[Hungry_Wombat]

Your work is phenomenal, nothing short of groundbreaking. Hell, I even have one of you pieces as my desktop background (which is quite the honor, might I add). Rarely do I ever come across an artist and consistent as you, it seems like every single one of your pieces has numerous merits and I wouldn't even be able to rank them. Once again, amazing work.

[thegrayslayer]

Really nice stuff. I really like the use of colour, and all the pieces feel very well balanced considering they are very 'busy'. Keep them coming...

Slayer

[Android]

Lets get pretty..;)

[tokaru]

wow you are my hero dude

[Katia LeMpka]

Gorgious digital work !

[Makk]

I havent logged on in over 2 years, but today, looking at your art, I just had to.
Beautiful work Android, having watched you grow over the years has been a pure delight and a gift in itself.
Thankyou.

[aaro_n]

really like the framing around Karmapa of Tibet, superb!

[Jordan85]

beautiful work the more psychedelic the better

[Ian Barker]

Super-inspiring stuff man... really wanted to be in on the class but had computer problems... >_< I'll get the upcoming download at least though.

btw, I happened to be listening to Beats Antique (http://www.myspace.com/beatsantique) while I viewed these, and it occurred to me that you would probably enjoy them if you aren't already. (I'm not affiliated btw, it just struck me as fitting with your work)

[archipelago]

heeeeeelllll yeaaaah!

[Frank Gressie]

wow...those Kris Kuski sculptures (on his website) are something else! would l o v e to see them in person! could stare at them for hours!

[Randis]

always a great inspiration to see your work Andrew!

best wishes
Randis

[Joshdewa]

This probably won't mean a lot coming from a random art connoisseur, but you are my new favorite modern artist Andrew Jones.

[Smyk Vitaliy]

Amazing stuff! Thanks for that! Very interesting vision on things and all around. People like you making me more stronger and harder in paint. Thank you for sharing your inspiration and experience.

[Cerasela]

Just two words : beautiful indeed !!

I thought its Krishna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krishna) not Shiva because of the blue color ;P

[sony]

You should design the dollar design, seriously man, its gonna rock!

[ZanteDeschia]

when I saw the pictures, my jaw dropped, I couldnt shut my mouth after staring at them from start and back again and again... I think im in love. Thank You!

[KonnA]

If you could do this traditionally on A1 size or larger, you'd be famous and very wealthy.

[Unknown-soul]

amazing...
full inspiration, thank you

[fionameng]

very very impressive!

[Lakka]

They just seem so.. impossible to make. Driving me nuts.

I think I'll just go cry myself to sleep telling myself it's impossible, and that you just arn't human.

[Paolo13]

I have not posted in a long time, but I feel I had to say this: YOU CAN HAVE MY SISTER!!! Amazing work!!!

[Android]

Makk .. that means allot, welcome back hope its not 2 years until you next visit.

Liffey, that's funny i was having dinner with David from beats Antique tonight, they are an amazing band, and i love making art for them.


Jordan85 - (psyche, "mind") and δηλείν (delein, "to manifest"), translating to "mind-manifesting".


R a n d i s , its good to know you, the inspiration is mutual

Joshdewa, anything that encourages someone to believe in them selves is meaningful, thank you.

Smyk Vitaliy, Paint Hard;)


Cerasela. I know , telly my art director that one, , i just hope it dosent piss Shiva off/

sony,, you mean the new "Amero"? that would be cool. i wonder if you have to be part of a secret society to get that job.

KonnA. hmmm that explains why im broke and happy, i will have some traditional work in my next gallery show.


Lakka save your tears for my smoke and mirrors.


Paolo13 that sounds great, ill begin plans for an Italian workshop right away.

. thanks for all your acknowledgment and encouragement, it means allot.
inspiration is infinite!...let the creative current carry you all away.

[Intervain]

Wow you AND Kuksi together?! damn... that's just great

[Liam Harvey]

okay that 50th cover is really exceptional. everything you seem to make only gets better and better.....and the shap clarity and immense size of the piece.


guuh.

[Dm7]

Wow!

I have showed it to my very good friend while being emotionally euprhoic. I told him, it's like music. It's like hearing for the first time! Now I know what music is like thanks to all of that beautiful artworks!!!

He agreed and said it's immensely beautiful. I nodded and said, I gotta study from him, the master of association!

Enough said. Wowwwww! What a honor! *bows*

-Dm7
P.S. Yes, I'm deaf so I have never heard music in my entire life, but this.. wow!

[Oblio]

I will be there.. in a strange form.. to share the event with you. miss u.

[Ian Barker]

Liffey, that's funny i was having dinner with David from beats Antique tonight, they are an amazing band, and i love making art for them.


Haha, that's nuts! I feel like I should've guessed you'd be working with them... oh well, I love the cover for the new EP, excellent work! When I publish my top album artwork of 09 list, it will definitely make an appearance (if the EP makes it out this year I guess). I'm looking forward to the music too. :)

[The_Flying_Dutchman]

Damn. All i can say, really.

[Hive_minD]

Hope to see those prints some day! Great work Andrew. Still one of my greatest inspirations!

[el coro]

that moth image in particular is really fantastic man. i think it shows a reatraint that really makes it a powerful image.

great work ese!

Looking forward to the show... great cover for IFX.

[RaistlinTheDark]

Awesome Stuff!

[El Jeremie]

Awesome as usual.
For the technoveau piece, The girl have a sixth finger .
Was it on purpose ? I'm maybe not the first to ask but i'm too lazy to search in the previous post.

[zweiDee]

Awesome ImagineFX Cover, one of my favorite of your Works.

[Android]

El Jeremie -- awesome!!! your the first person to find that,and point it out, you should get a prize.. not even the client i painted this for found that;)

its the little things that keep me entertained.

[El Jeremie]

, you should get a prize.. .

No problem , I PM you my address, and you send me an original. :D

[Bad Luck]

Just beautiful. Considering canceling weekend plans to make your exhibit now.
The right hand Metropolis looks VERY black rock.. intentional?

[ikemills321]

This stuff is so incredibly amazing. Android i cant wait to see some of what you painted sunrise at el circo on the playa, that was one of the best mornings ever and i cant wait to see your reflection of it...feel free to post it...nudge..nudge :)
love/respect

[Byrd]

If the devil is in the details then you sir are the antichrist. I can stare at these for hours and still find new aspects I never noticed before.

I still missed that sixth finger though.

[Molly]

...simply wonderful!!!.... x

[foster]

You have befuddled my brain with your brilliance! I can not put into words how much this work moves me. You are on the forefront of something awesome Andrew.

Jon

[samrkennedy]

You are one crazy pirate. I loved your demo done for MB. I'm going to have to go watch it again to see how you control those brushes to create such perfect design. Love it.

[Jacob Kobryn]

AMAZING STUFF Andrew! I can't wait for Saturday! I have something I'd like to discuss with you as well...

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Wonderfull body of work man. Wish I could be in SF during the show, I would be there. And it is the day before my birthday:D

-E

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

Andrew my friend you are a god amongst artists. thanks for the inspiration!

a question: how do you do that finger/money-print texture?

[Android]

44 hour until show time, not that I'm counting ;)

[steven6]

I like your clutered textured look with the graphical eliments--def your style--beauty in chaos--Actually I think some of the clutter makes one look deeper at the simple beauty of what's behind it all--the soul of the image
late

[clanlord]

No words of ine can express the admiration! The history will embrace you!

[Fuzziest Johnson]

I love the Blue Shiva, its something I expect to see when I pass to that other plane of existence. infinite detail, got a fractal thing going there...love it. That one is perfect....See u at the show

[georgedesio]

great great drawings man your awesome , please post some more in the future :)

[Mordus]

Truth: Android Jones inspired me to keep living true to myself.
Truth: Android Jones unlocked something in me.
Truth: Android Jones is the Artistic Messiah, the origin of all that is to come.
Truth: His art shames the gods.

[3alola]

Great Of the Greatest :D

[Auspiciouspanda]

What a *^@%*$ fantastic opening! Glad your show was everything you hoped it would be and that i got to experience it. I just happened to be visiting San Fran and as soon as i heard about Liminal Rez it was on the very top of my list of things to do. Thanks for all the inspiration and your signature. :)

[JeromeFoster]

Having your pieces printed has to give you butterflies...Technouveau...holy cow...love it...your compositions are what a pixel seed growing would look like in stop motion...these pieces seem to actually move

[El Jeremie]

Can you post more picture of the printing session ? I love printing industry.

[Sporus]

thank you for existing
thank you for the inspiration

amazing :O

[Flowermilk]

There's not much I can say that hasn't been said in a better way here.
I love your art, your heart, and your freedom, and I wish I was at the exhibit :)

[Android]

thanks Everyone, your words are far too kind,

if you missed the opening, there will be a closing party for the gallery show Saturday the 28th from 7-11 pm,

[Cthogua]

OH man, those traditional abstract pieces are fucking sick. Are they a combination of mediums? The one with the eyeballs is just fantastic. Awesome work as always, I only wish I could've seen it with my own peepers.

[ArtZealot]

Truly inspiring work, thanks for posting all of that. I love all the color and awesome rhythms to everything. Can't wait to see more.

[mustang_sally]

O____O I could just stare at this thread ALL DAY :D

[Raziel_mn]

......STUNNING ATRS.......

[Rist]

Love all your work. I'm interested the most in your experiments with landscape. A new take on impressionism :)

[JL.Alfaro]

It is said that the great Julius Caesar hired an assistant to follow him around, and when the crowds cheered Caesar's name the assistants only job was to whisper in his ear "you are just a man"

just throwing that out there...thanks for the amazing inspiration Andrew. you are just a man.


-Joe

[DefiledVisions]

Those glass prints.. and the way the light shines through them. Never seen anything like it, a whole other level of portraying art.

Fantastic

[Azuma, Hironori]

I require more accessible tutorials from Andrew Jones.

[lyon]

Amazing. Totally amazing. Andrew, you are a once in a generation artist. Completely inspiring. Total respect and praise.

[Beelow]

It's beautiful to see your style evolving within it self. Thanks for posting these andrew. Some of the newer works that you've posted especially the imagine fx cover blows me away. I am interested what you are doing. Thanks for the inspiration.

[KUN]

Wow!!Thats stupendously inspirational.......Thank you
for the inspiration.

[xbert]

it might sound a little bit blasphemic but in my opinion theres a little bit to much "geometric&abstract" in your digital work - i mean the idea is great and your work is absolutely professional and i love the idea to abstract the pictures a little bit with some cool shapes, its just that you overshoot the mark with this a little bit (oh my god my english is so weak i hope that you can understand what i mean)

but - youre traditional work is so strong its ... i mean wonderful, fantastic wich i could see them in real sometime! very inspiring! hope to see more of this soon :asslick:

[erik-jan v/d schuur]

nicee!!

i like how you played with some of the canvas / prints, you made them bold?
and some are printed /painted on glas/plastic? nice experiments
a good presentation is verry important, and can make your art better.
you did that verry well.

you ever thought of making sculptures? or maybe you already do that..
but working in 3d works totally different.. and can put your ideas/work
in another way and it will look totally different.. out of that you can get more ideas and you can experiment further, etc ..
imagine the shapes, colors and figures in stone or whatever material you want.

just a thought..

would be nice to see all the prints and paintings in real.

greets

[William Brown]

Always inspired by your work Andrew.

[Android]

JL.Alfaro--that's a great story, thanks for sharing , as soon as i get some assistants ill pass on the advice. Even if we are all "just a man" i think we can also be severed my reminding ourselves that just being a man can be pretty awesome, and we all have a tremendous amount of potential within us waiting to be achieved.

Azuma, Hironori - well the downloads are only a few clicks away and a new fine art volume 2 is on the horizon

xbert - i think i know what you mean, when i create an abstract image especialy i in a digital meduim is easy to become overwhelmed with all of the shape making options, and i often error on the side of excess. With painter you can make one hundred different drastic decisions in a matter of minutes, im constantly trying to remind myself to practice more restraint, i appreciate your insight.

erik-jan v/d schuur- thanks , i have considered sculptures, at the moment im interested in giving my physical work more tangible volume through etching and layering of materials, i have a new instillation project early i2010 where i will be designing an environment of a night club and i will be able to experiment with more 3d elements in my work.

thanks for all the encouragement guys, believe it or not they keep me going and help to fight off the mind parasites.

[cloudmine]

Very inspiring and amazing works! :) thank you very much for sharing those masterpiece.

[Azuma, Hironori]

That portrait blows my mind in 10 directions. How do you decide to do something like that in the middle of an image???

[Leidenschaft]

i just.. i ... i mean THIS ... W O W!!

i mean the colors ... the forms ... the *inhale exhale* you just blew my mind!

i srsly bow down before your and your infinite creativity. how did you get such a good color flow? i sware i saw at least 1 rainbow in every picture :D

[Randis]

That's some awesome update Andrew!
Very interesting and fun to see some new work! Thanks for sharing!
I am inspired to paint some new images now

cheers

[zimfin]

Don't know what to say that hasn't been said already. I love your work....the detail....colour....energy....everything Andrew. You are a legend man. Keep 'em coming! I'll be here waiting. :)

[cw]

nice. :)

[Ravenseye]

Seriously Andrew your work is amazing.

[nodaedalus]

The first image, below your self portrait video..

I am absolutely speechless. I know you aim your work to inspire, but I am completely dumbfounded and in awe.

Thank You

[Farvus]

Fantastic video. Apart from final result, even the process of creating image has certain visual impact. That probably comes from lots of live digital painting.
I especially like that moment at 2:20. Music gets more intense and you suddenly start painting with bubbles :).

[natethegrate]

just wanted to say that your analogue pieces are really rad... would love to see one in nature. i really dig the approach to go more abstract instead of rendering figurative keyelements... the subtile konstruction of abstract pattern is away more soaking for the recipient i think.. its kind of absurd to say when i look at your digi-repros but the non-figurative pieces are far more auratic ;-)

best regards

[Joachim]

great stuff andrew. I really wish I had your talent with patterns and shapes that way, it seems so easy, and it gives such cool style to it. Is it all with photoshop brushes ? I guess you´ve made a bunch of custom shapes and brushes? anyway, great stuff !- very inspiriring!

[Fourth Nail]

Best thread ever, God I love this stuff.

[Syle]

Fantastic. Genius. I love it. I haven't really had a chance to take a long/hard look at your stuff Android, but now that I have, I am not sure I was ready for it! Simply mind-blowing! Inspiration for a lifetime now!

[CGMonkey]

Your traditional stuff is candy for the soul!

[Hive_minD]

I find it strange that I hardly post in your threads. Guess it is the awesomeness which radiates from the thread. Though I have a few questions, which I am sure have been answered before around the forums, but I would love to have them in one spot.

What canvas size to you usually start with in Painter?
Do you struggle with brushlag and such?

I guess in general I was wondering if you one day could make a huge post in the Painter Section on tips and tricks which you use in Painter. Such as the Paper folder tip you gave a while ago. That was really helpfull!

Anyways, love your stuff as usual. Totally breathtaking!

[Victor S.]

wow really amazing , so much attention into each image, its just amazing

[Feral Friend]

Really lovely, I can't help wishing some times that the less random elements used were less visible, the abstract elements are great but when the pattern is made out of tree branches or there is a butterfly floating amidst abstract shapes making up hair it distracts my attention from the effect created by the repetition. Then I'm looking at the object used to create the patten not the over all effect.

Love O.P.M, the more steam punky/art nouveau is delicious!

[Dave_Lynch]

My apologies if you've said this at some point but I was wondering- are you going to different galleries? Coming to the New York or Boston area anytime soon?

[Android]

thanks for all the positive feedback -

Azuma, Hironori i work very spontaneously, switching back between programs allows me to push one until my inspiration calm down than i open another to renew my possibilities. i think in terms of what all the programs are capable of creating together.


Leidenschaft as far as color flow it all comes from trial and error and experimenting with the relationship the colors have as a whole.

R a n d i s- thanks randis, your ambition and drive inspire me allot as well.

Farvus thanks farvus, the process is my favorite part, its great having an artform that allows you to share the journey with others. I also learn so much more by reviewing my work flow in high speed, kind of like how athletes watch videos of their performance to gain new insights

Hive_minD i often start at my screen resolution, when working at home i can use a 1600x2500 then i build up and re size from there.

i dont get too much brush lag, when i work on very hi rez images over 10000 pixels tall i sometimes cut the images into parts and photostich it back together.

i am working on a few tutorial videos for corel at the moment, if you have a list of topics you would like me to cover please let me know, there are so many things that i could focus on .

Feral Friend thanks Feral, each shape can hold an emotional charge for the viewer and its always a challenge to find the balance between the charge they carry and the repetition. i appreciate you bringing this to my attention , ill put some more though into it in the future .


Dave_Lynch Hi Dave, my next group show will be at the temple of visions in LA Jan 9th, then a solo in Venice California late February, there has been allot of interest in New York and i have one of my art dealers working hard on the job of getting a show and a phadroid performance in new your in 2010. Feel free to march into the Joshua liner gallery and voice your interest ;) http://joshualinergallery.com/

Fabergé eggs? I was given a book by an organic thinking type homeless man a couple weeks ago on those eggs...this new piece...Jesus...intense...with this composition and the egg those gifts came to mind...Im an egg-head...so maybe thats how I ended up with this book...
I have a question, about transparent prints...does the file have to have certain properties to print (on glass I would presume)?
love your creations!!

Well tutorials on your process is awesome no matter what. But I would love to hear more about:

-how you organize your patterns and papers and brushes and the like, at the same time as you keep Painter running as smoothly as possible.

-what color-profile you work in. -also when then throwing it back and forth in different software such as Photoshop. (I really struggle with this still... )

-in-depth about the Divine Proportion

-was also wondering how you get that "wavy" texture so fine all over the entire canvas. Is that in Painter, or is it Photoshop? Have seen it on several of your paintings. Would like to try it out myself

otherwise I am totally digging your Jesus artwork. It is stunning. I must say I have kinda lost my way a little when it comes to religion, but I do believe there is something out there that is unexplainable. Heck, my cousin was just in a car accident, and it is still far from certain that he will survive, but it is a miracle that he still IS alive. These are not my words. The surgeon came out of the operating-room crying (thats right... crying.) and said that "they have done everything they can, it is up to God now. But it is a miracle that he is still alive. Just unexplainable."
This piece of art gave me a certain peace. That things work out for a reason, even though we don´t always like it, accept it, understand it, or respect it.

Embrace life and love! Best wishes to all!

Hey Andrew. Really appreciate being able to see the large images. Everything is mind-blowing. I'm hoping that Bluetech's new album will be as moving as your cover for it. I'm watching your work move more and more toward the spiritual. Very exciting. Very inspirational.

[IronBrush]

Thank you to share your psd file and working progress movie :)
Happy new year

[DANKA]

You are one of my favourite Rockstars! your work inspire me every time I see it and I return to my work with renewed enthusiasm!
I bought the number of ImagineFX with your amazing cover...thanx for it..is a poster in my room now!
you are a legend for me!

[Giorge]

the print on the glass is done using the Diasec process?

[nicolas]

Andrew that jesus is fucking insane! Youre getting onto a level of microscopic detail there... love the close up.crazy.

[steven6]

Andrew Jones work is so inately beautiful to me. Does Andrew sell these pieces as originals in galleries? I'm curious what an origional costs? And also-a question for Android-or others: Due to the digital nature of this art, because it can be replicated (mulitple prints made from the "original file") it is defficult, or impossalbe to say "this" piece was the original that I created , in terms of a traditional oil etc. So, does this affect the collectors view of how valuable, or rare the piecs are? Does it deminish value? It seems we're entering an age where this may be more accepted-or conversly does digital art drive the prices of traditional original art up?

[Geir]

I actually want to start with a complaint to you Andrew. You post your images so big my browser is lagging bigtime and it's really frustrating to have to scroll so much to really get the full view.

And these paintings really deserve being watched in their full. You have an amazing stile and eye for good pictures. I truly love you work man. Thanks for posting it (even if their irratating big;))

works fine on my iMac and on my windows PC.. But if you really want to " watch them in their full" then save them on computer and open them in your photo viewer...? :) -just a suggestion

[Wixxi]

right, i will now show what went trough my head...

"opens thread* wait..what? cool jesus, nice...WOW wtf! whuuut wow *scrolls down* woah omg this is... what the hell JEEZ WOA omfg WTF!!!??? oh god..more? omg MORE!!! no way..this is..is this...no..this cant be..WHAT THE HELL no no no no NOOOO wait a min.. did he.. ..omg WOOOOOW dam this is wtf OH MY GOD did you see that? i mean no not that, i mean yeah that also but that, wait what, did i see? OMG wtf is that geez WOOOOH OH OH GOD IMPOSSIBLE AAAAARGH *drops dead* "

nice stuff lol and happy 2010 :)

[Ian Barker]

Wow... loving the Jesus piece! I have just one crit for it, the galaxy in the upper left corner is really bothering me. It seems tacked on and is also a bit distracting... seems very out of place in an otherwise stable composition.

[maoheihei]

Very shocking! A very beautiful picture.

[Silent Stander]

beautiful work as always. the glass prints are genius. one thing kind of surprises me though, and this is in no way a criticism, you went with the stereotypical caucasian Jesus... After seeing the title and then the image there was a split second of "aww, he didn't do anything with that?". of course I immediately forgot about it when i started pouring over the insane amount of detail in your work. Still for some reason i expected Android jones' Jesus to be a bit different...

Yes I can. But not if I want to see the whole thread.

[plantman]

Very impressive!
That portrait video is really helpful, thank you.

[Mordus]

With all due respect to the poster who felt more avenues could have been explored on the theme of Jesus's steretyped caucasian nature, remember Android's "Catholica" artworks are composites of the rich catholic and christian imagery available rather than reimaginings. They combine the imagery in new and original ways, but its more an exploration and affirmation of the material than a reconstruction. With such material of course Android builds astonishing images, and with no doubt I proclaim him an artistic visionary equal to that of previous titans like Frazetta or (cliches ahoy!) Picasso, who is taking the digital art movement away from being a convenience to being an artform in its own right through which new ideas impossible on physical paper can be visualized.
The image in question is no less one of the greatest Jones images so far, topped only in my mind by the Karmapa and Divine Mother.

[George Abraham]

Woah. I think Psychedelics is in order even if I don't really do that. ;) hehehe!!

Might get sucked into the vortex.

Stunning work. The ImagineFX issue looks awesome. Explosive.

[Silent Stander]

that is a point you have Mordus, i admit that i didnt know about the series or the theme being portrayed, i only saw the piece alone and didn't get the background info. but i was def not questioning his technical skill or the emotion in the work, both of which are incredible.

[WyckdNick]

Your portait of Jesus is absolutely amazing. I really can't stop looking at it. really inspiring stuff man. It's art like this that helps to keep me pounding away at my Wacom and CS3 till my eyes bleed to hope to achieve similiar brilliance.

Fine by me :) After all, we're all just here to enjoy some Jones artwork.

Happy new year!

And great update to your website too!

some small things though that (in my opinion) could make it that little bit better:

1. center your container in the browser window. I personaly dont like watching websites that stick to the left side of my browser window.
this can be done by putting all you html elements in a container div so actually:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">

<!--- Place your html here -->

</div>
</body>
</html>

and then in css you apply the width you want for your website, with a margin auto:


#container {
width: 500px; /* the width of your website comes here, in this example 500px */
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}


2. I don't like the background image at the top being cut off, think it would be better if it ran through untill the real end of the image. Not sure why it is cut off like that, i should watch your css more closesly to find the reason.

3. avoid inline css code in your html, it's not bad bad, but html is normally used for content only, the styling completely goes into css.

4. make your header image clickable so it leads back to the homepage


But in total the website is great! its in my bookmarks :)

Happy 2010, may it be an inspiring year for all of us!

Hey Andrew, I really like your work and I see that a lot people do here. However I have only one bit of critique, It would be nice to see you develop some new brushes or brush with some different shapes to replace the triangles in your art, as far as I know the triangles might have some significance for you maybe they represent something specific for you however I've seen a lot of your work and the absence of triangles for a few pieces would be a breath of fresh air and a challenge for you to maybe update your brush library without losing what makes your work your own. Just a thought.
