I would like some professional feedback on my artwork....be as kind or as cruel as you wish. http://www.earl-group.com/ryder

Its ALMOST a good scanning job. On most of the pictures you can still see the moire pattern in the pixels where it looks like it was scanned from a magazine.

Check it out!

I wonder...

Is it really made withs pastels and inks ??
If it is, that's really impressive and quite disturbing

Lunatique · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2002 1:26 am

I dunno... his entire site is like that. Not ONE of the pieces look like actual artwork. . ..

pixualize · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2002 1:30 am

Oh and the prices too!

Somebody's gonna be pissed if they shell out $12,000 for a magazine clipping!

Fabrys · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2002 1:30 am

Look at the eyes of this one. There is such a white pastel line which denote with the composition.

I really wonder if this is a swindle or the work of a genius... I wouldn't like to judge to easily.

seriously.. take a look at his logo, white ugly lines all around the text.. and a bevel effect in the background.. IF he is that great, i think he could at least put some effort in his page.. this is photos with some editing

I think so

Lunatique · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2002 5:53 am

Someone email this guy. I'm too lazy.

horstenpeter · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2002 6:00 am

Man, he really likes that cloud filter....

Lunatique · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2002 6:02 am

I invited him to come and defend himself.

Gort · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2002 6:41 am

Uh...is this a joke? April Fool's Day is long over...

Gimbal8 · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2002 6:43 am

Imagine if they weren't photos...would anyone still want to buy them? Who in their right mind would pay those prices for art that doesn't look like art?

All modesty aside, even my unaltered photography is more artistic then his photoshopped photos.

That bit is a joke right? I mean I would go and look at the source for myself but he's disabled the page. If it's not then he sure has a sense of humour

Lunatique · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2002 7:32 pm

I think it's safe to say this:

BUSTED!

Maybe I shouldn't have emailed him and let him keep it up for more entertainment.

eyewoo · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2002 8:23 pm

hahahahahaha... that is funny... I also emailed him, telling him I wanted to discuss the purchase of one of his pieces. Haven't heard anything back... don't expect I will...

The main site - http://www.earl-group.com - still has his name in their pull down menu. Strange place... something odd going on there...
