Okay so i need some exposure, so I am just going to do it. I am not profiting off of this, just trying to get some likes on my facebook page so that if you do enjoy my artwork you can follow my career online. I am an Oil painter out of New Hampshire. some of you may know my work from the newschoolers DINO sticker I made when I was 16 and never shut up about. In college I started oil painting, printing and screen printing. Now that I graduated I want to make a career out of it but getting my artwork out there and in peoples faces is hard to do short of having a gallery exhibit. So if you do enjoy these few images down below, click on the link to my facebook page and just hit like. I have close to 30 oil paintings in the works, about to be professionally photographed and made into giclee prints. But here are the few I have already.
again, like my page if you enjoy my style. http://www.facebook.com/Tylermarslandart
Thank you. I am excited to see how long this lasts...
Concord, NH
Blue Cityscape
Apples
Gulf rd. Bridge
any exposure helps, which is why i posted in both nsg and media and arts. Its hard to get people to notice your artwork when you are just starting out, so if this can stay, and people can like my page i will appreciate it more than you can imagine.
Thank you newschoolers.
I'm going to be honest I don't know anything about art, but that looks terrible. That looks like something an elementary school kid would have painted.

I disagree. I don't think I had the capability to imagine and recreate space like that. I like the blue cityscape a lot, but something about the colors in all of them is a little weird. Is that typically how oil paintings typically are? I don't know shit about art, so my opinion is nearly worthless.

killabeesI am Red/green color blind. just my style
Ahhhh! That's actually kinda cool, then. Obviously a lot of famous paintings didn't have those colors either (Starry Night, for one). That style seems to be particularly conducive to certain subject matter IMO - flowery landscapes, skylines, etc.
If I had a Facebook, I'd like and share. Good luck man, respect.
SlushFirst dude was so hard on you. I like how this looks
I'm being honest elementary school may have been a little rough, but apparently he wants to do this for a career. Just being real they're good and its a nice hobby to have, but I don't see these paintings going for millions of dollars or payin the rent.
and tshirts pay the rent. im really not trying to like give you any resistance, because you are entitled to your opinion. but i asked for exposure, and you replied like i am trying to sell my paintings. you really do not know what I am trying to accomplish. in fact saying that you think i am trying to pay rent through these is just something you pulled out of your ass because you didn't read the thread. i love that you keep bumping it, i am thankful for that.
If you really care to know, i have sold two paintings, the blue cityscape that was on my debut day for a thousand dollars. and a small lighthouse (6"x6") for two hundred also on my debut day. Also i plan on selling the prints, and keeping the originals for the most part. show them and show them and show them until they are exposed to the point which i believe they will had enough exposure, and then sell them. ALSO do you know how artwork is priced? I have relatively cheap pricing. about 1.5 dollars a square inch for the ones that i have sold. with exposure and time passing the pricing will go up, what does that have to say about the Eight, six foot tall paintings that are 3,500 square inches? especially when next year they will be worth 2 dollars a square inch, and the year after that 2.5 dollars a square inch that the year after that ext if i keep making artwork.
i could hold a gallery exhibition at the school i just graduated from and sell out. i have been told i will sell out, but that's not my plan. i have a job, i can pay the rent for now without the artwork. i appreciate your input though, youd be surprised what people will buy and enjoy. it might not be your bag, but hey Duchamp sold a fucking urinal he bought at a department store for probably more than you will probably make in the next two decades.

Do you man, I have a sister and a friend that tried to become artists. They now both work as waiters and waitresses, as long as you didn't major in pottery in college, good luck.

Just Google oil paintings and compare them to op.
I don't think you know much about art.
The best art pieces aren't the best because of how realistic they look. It's more because they evoke certain emotions looking at them.
There are pieces of art worth millions of dollars that you'd think could be done by a grade school student.

worst comes to worst, the mmj industry in new england (mass/ri/maine) is thriving. pretty much automatic starting off at 60 g. id never become a waiter. rather sit and watch my plants grow while i paint. i do appreciate your concern. i have a lot of drive, im sure i will figure it out
I think you have the ability to render stuff, shadow, light, dimension and all that. But I think you could apply that to compositionally better scenes. I like how you draw.
I like the kitchen one. I like how it has a bit of a bend to it. It's interesting and I think your style compliments rounder shapes well. I think the bridge one is fairly plain, and that's mostly because of the composition, and the others except for the kitchen kinda feel the same. The kitchen one just has something about how the lights and shadows and colors, and the bend, are rendered that makes it really cool. If the city one had the same dynamic it'd be better, if you ask me. I like the orange part in the kitchen. It's hard to put into words, but the kitchen one has something the others don't. I keep saying composition because I mostly know photo related stuff and the colors and lighting (no flashes) are kinda set, for the most part. It's hard to get into words. If i had a house I wouldn't mind it hanging in my kitchen as a little print.
I like lissitzky, kandinsky and that sort of stuff. So landscape or still life scenes or whatever aren't really my thing. But I like the kitchen one.
