In Case You Haven’t Been Following

I’ve been posting some stuff on my Twitter that I’m working on for an art show in January. Here’s some sketches and a finished piece.

foo

awesome work. i like the directions you are going
Kayzer

Random question: Are you going to TCAF at all in 2013? Because I know the deadline for tables is coming up and I’m just wondering if you’ll be there.
http://jessemoynihan.com Jesse

I don’t think I am. I’m not going to any conventions until I have volume 2 of Forming ready to go. Tcaf is in May and if all goes well, that will be just around the time I’ll be finishing up. But it takes a few months do scan, proofread and print the books so…

Superb!
What are the sizes of these? How big are they? Also are you brushing these when you ink them or do you use pens?
http://jessemoynihan.com Jesse

The b&w drawings are sketchbook size. The airbrush/gouache illustration is 18″x24″. The gray tone I’m getting is with a Copic brand marker.
http://jessemoynihan.com Jesse

Oh and also the b&w drawings are inked with a Pentel Stylo pen. The black fills are with a brush pen.

wow, that’s some good lookin stuff.
http://juanonhell.tumblr.com Juan

I almost ejaculated looking at these. Good luck on art show!
http://Lollyraindrops.tumblr.com Joe

Wow your work is just crazy good!
I’m a artist myself I’m trying to make a name in the art world please take a look at my art work, photos, music, videos and more on my blog Lollyraindrops.tumblr.com
Ben

These look really great Mr. Moynihan. Copic markers are the bloody King, I have wasted sooo many hundreds of dollars on them meself.
As you know we will be buying Forming #2 and keep supporting you.

Hey Joe in my experience as a completely failed artist I would say the absolute best advice is to get away from the computer and hang out and get friendly with lots of people in real life. Honestly it is the only way anyone gets recognised and gets shows, it’s by hanging out and knowing people. Talent just does not cut it, quality of product just does not cut it – it really is achieved by the long slog of getting to know lots of people. I say this as a troll man who makes really odd and interesting art and the people who get shows are not necessarily without talent but they are much more social for sure! This cannot happen across the internet, you have to do it in a city, you have to hussle, and the bigger more culturally developed city the better. New York, L.A., London, Berlin, Chicago – that is where you need to be. Spend the time hanging out it is by far the best investment in an art career. I am not saying this to be cynical or anything, I just wish someone had explicitly told me this. It seems obvious but it is an absolute bottom line necessity. Don’t be fooled by the digital revolution (so to speak) this is how it really works and will always work, especially as far as showing work in galleries goes and in all IRL ways where you actually want to get paid.
I personally think that the path I am on now, while not ideal for myself let alone what I dreamt for myself, is still damn good. I am what I am… not fully at peace with everything but damn at peace with a lot of things I never thought I would be.

I just threw that in there because I don’t want to come off as bitter and angry which would undermine my advice to Mr. Joe.
Ben

One other thing Mr. Moyns – I see there is not enough spooky transcendentalism going on here! Tut tut! Where is the Zoroastrianism and the MKUltra and tantric journeys and the gods being born out of the brains of their fathers like a ripe seed pod, eh? Mmmmmm? Wheressat shit at, huh? Let down.

I think the anti-spam generator is whispering to me. It keeps telling me I am ALLMAN. Maybe it’s trying to tell me something.

@Ben: The Moon Fighter guy was partially inspired by the Tarot work I’ve been doing. Also while I agree it totally helps for an artist to be social, and in a culturally vibrant location such as NY or LA… I would not put that above the importance of 1. being prolific 2. making your work available to see 3. having a vision 4. being real 5. being original.

Numbers one and two being the absolutely most important, but also virtually meaningless if the other 3 aspects are not cultivated. That’s from my personal experience.

@ben & jesse Thanks for all the help & tips! Much appreciated!
I will use everything you guys have told me
