The latest, greatest Kyle initiative has been... well... initiated! KYLE ART RULES...MONDAYS DROOL! Mondays are a bore no more! Every week, I pledge to rock your monday mornings with a brand new kyleart piece of art. It could be a new painting, desktop wallpaper, tshirt designs, a video of me doing a jig.... who knows? As long as it could be loosely argued as visual art... that's what you're going to get.
hmmm. two weeks until the new year. 2010. the year where everything sounds like an epic science fiction movie from the 80s. 2010 was destined to have prison islands, holographic chambers, giant monsters from space, and more... so as you can see it's a big year.
that brings me to kyleart. me as an artist. making pretty visual things. what is 2010 going to bring for me?!?!
Any ideas? I am going to post some of my thought process here, so feel free to chime in... otherwise it will be a big fat discussion that Kyle has on his own.
as this week's Monday Madness (I know it's tuesday) I am going to share an endeavor with you that I THOUGHT was going to be kyleart 2010... the world of webcomics. I spent a lot of time playing around with ideas, sketching stuff, exploring the economics of comics, etc...
my final analysis? while webcomics can actually turn into a decent job and career, and there are some awesome webcomics out there... it seemed to be too pigeon-holey for me. at the end of five years of work... while there would be quite a few strips/books/merch that would have been made... at the end, I would have been a webcomic, as opposed to an artist.
sorry it's a day late! but monday (tuesday) madness continues with a peek into my sketch book - I went on vacation for a couple of weeks. and in my Sketch Book photo album on facebook, I have scanned in 8 sketches from my vacay. let me know what you think!
Cyber Monday seems to be all the rage today. So I decided to get in on it a little too. Except I want the stuff to be free. And I want the stuff to last beyond today. So from now on, just click on "freebies" in my navigation and you can get free desktop wallpapers, iphone wallpapers, facebook profile pics - all for free. Happy Holidays!
(note: since multiple people asked me... I started putting painting prices on the website... just click on any picture, and when it expands, it should show the price. always feel free to email me as well -- and I will send you a pdf of all available works!)
Kyle, you just finished painting a ninja cat appearing out of a smoke bomb explosion that gives a not-so-obvious nod to a painter you respect. WHAT are you going to do NOW?
I'm going to DISNEYWORLD! seriously, I am. that's why I put this painting online on Sunday. (oh, btw, the image below isn't all that clear... I had to take it quickly. next week I will upload a much better image of NinCat)
Nincat is going to be a new favorite character of mine... keep an eye out!
"NinCat: Kablam" 36" x 36" x 1.5", acrylic on canvas, all sides are painted $500
So it's monday morning. Many of us still have jobs to go to. Ones that we need to drink gallons of caffeine to even have a chance of being able to rip ourselves away from the glory of the weekend. This is where I make a stretch of a connection between the caffeine I have consumed in the past hour to the energy of the squirrel in today's PAINTING! I hope you enjoy it as much as he apparently enjoys existence.
"(Flying) Squirrel Blue" 40" x 30" x 1.5", acrylic on canvas, all sides are painted $450

Waitasecond... it's Monday! I know because I have to go to work after a weekend of fun (or in my case, working). That means ::GASP:: there's a new kyleart to make my monday friggin' awesome... well this week.... drumroll... drumline... I have completely revamped my website. Take some time as you are shaking off the weekend willies to peruse it. For many of you, there are a handful of new paintings in there, too. Enjoy - and come back next week for the latest and greatest (of kyle stuff)

of course, if you are reading this at my blog, then you've already seen it. COME BACK NEXT MONDAY for the next installment of kyleart!
It has been awhile since I posted on this blog... I have been in the studio working hard.
In the meantime, I just wanted you to check out some new ways to own some kyleart! Check out my new shop, and you will find some romantic postcards and the chance to buy some of my daily paintings in print form (in case you missed out last year!)
