My Portfolio

[Charalambous]

id like to point out its quite funny how people are telling me this isnt art, when i dont believe i claimed it to be? niether have i stated that this is all i can do lol.

i originally was going to post a whole portfolio, but i soon realised this site was full of those people who just spend their time looking for ways to put people down, and so there would be no point. i also noticed this section was very slow moving, so iv not bothered to hurry and get loads of work scanned and uploaded. one day i will though.

for you to dismiss this work though, is for you to show me you have no idea how difficult it is. it shows craftsmanship if nothing else and nobody can honestly tell me otherwise. criticism is always welcome, but if your planning on simply being a prick, try and do what iv done here better first. i realize the stuff here shows no artistic flare, i didnt claim it does. im just doing these under commission for a company which does plan on selling them. so im pretty sure i wont even get in trouble anyway.

this is all iv posted because this is all iv been doing as of recent. to be honest its KILLING ME doing this ****.

those andy warhol cd covers are HORRIBLE lol. there is nothing aesthetically pleasing about them at all. i knew his work was far from pleasing to look at but wow... the difference is that i KNOW this isnt art. whereas andy seems like he got real high, had some bollocks put together, then worried about labeling it art and attaching a deeper meaning once he was sober. **** andy warhol to be honest. the amount of essays iv had to write on this guy...

i respect him i suppose, but his time has passed and people need to get over his work. it really want anything that special. im sure im going to get slated for this but its just my humble opinion as someone who has had to study him for years.

one last note, remember everyone, judge the work that is here and that you can see... not me on the whole, because this is just a small aspect of what im capable of.

its just pen tool after all...

until next time...

Wow, your post! You really come across as a D-Bag dude. First off, I don't think anyone was saying you are not talented as a craftsman. They were saying that just because you are good with a tracing pen, doesn't make you an artist. And you haven't taken any steps beyond showing your ripped off traces to prove that you have any other talent. BUT, the biggest part of the discussion has been about whether you are violating any copyright laws- and I believe it HAS been established that you are are. At the minimum, you are unethical. Especially when you make the comment that you are doing the work for someone else who is planning on selling it, as if you are relinquishing your responsibility. "Gee your honor, I was only driving the get-away car, I didn't actually participate in robbing the bank." LOL!

And I won't bother getting into your inane comments about Warhol. I'll just say your attitude towards his accomplishments say a lot about you and your vision of art. But hey, not everyone understands art or how to create something original, they are just craftsmen who know how to use the tools. And that is all you are.

You didn't need to get so defensive. People where just trying to help you from getting in trouble- and even encouraging you to try something else with your technical skills. You are the one who started the thread called "My Portfolio" and that implies that you are showing a body of original work that you created. Instead, we see a bunch of very nice tracings of other peoples photographs that you claim as your own. I see nothing original, just the well executed work of a copy cat.

Design and Graphics is intended as a reference for designers and students, not as a free portfolio site. Find Blue Velvet's "Welcome to Design and Graphics" thread and read the mission of this special interest forum. Posting work for comments is fine here, but it is intended to stimulate conversation that is responded to by posting improved works. All you do is post what you do and get defensive. Why don't you take the comments to heart and rework one of your posts with more individuality and show it to us? That is all we want to see. What do you have and how can you make it better?

The first thing that caught me when this thread first went up was that someone had the gall to name a thread "My Portfolio". Look at the thread "First Proper Portfolio - Critique / help / advice please!" and see how that person has used the input of this forum to improve his work.

wow. you're a carbon copy of so many of the kids I went to school with. so boneheaded in the belief that they can do no wrong legally or aesthetically to the point that it stunts any potential for growth they may exhibit.

now that i think about it, we used to call them "the great re-purposers" because they tended to blatantly rip stuff off.

i feel bad for you.

lol i will take all comments on board

was approached about including my work in a book of michael jackson fan art. i decided to revamp one of the MJ vectors for it;

 

[MattSepeta]

Oh Boy

Lets all get really worked up over this! Fun!


That aside, I really like your last MJ pic, but just like the other posters have stated, It is BARELY art. It is something that should NOT be made for profit, because you very well could get nabbed for ripping off original the content creator.

I recognize the incredible talent that went into this stuff, but, it ends there. Take a photo of something or someone, then trace it, and I (And everyone else, I am sure) will be highly impressed. Better yet, do one from scratch, with no photo to work from! Then, guaranteed, your skills and worth will skyrocket

Good luck!
