Wow that is awesome. The one with the 3 squares on white background, that is something I would buy (if i had money). Love it.

Have you sold work before?

Dude I REALLY REALLY like your art.

I have always thought I like industrious looking things. Like ugly is pretty to me. Not saying your art was ugly, but not the stereotypical conventions of aesthetics.

I have always thought I want something like that tatoo'd on me but couldnt think of anything other then photography, and photographs as tatoos look dumb.

OK, you stuff rocks. Basically.

Really fine work. As I get older I prefer abstracts.

Your paintings are amazing. I wrote the previous post drunk, I think it shows the excitement I felt.

Your work is nice as hell.

wow you are really good man!

Wow, thanks for the feedback guys... wasn't expecting such a positive response. I've taken a year out due to doing up a property so these comments are encouraging and will help me get the ball rolling properly again.

I do sell me work and half the stuff on the website has probably gone. I've kept a few pieces for myself which I will keep for a future solo show... and that one you guys seem to like was a birthday or xmas present for my parents. It's actually a torn bill board !! SO one of the easiest and cheapest pieces to produce hahaa. But I agree it works surprisingly well.

thanks again.

nice work owen, was it painting you specialised in?

othomas2 · Post by **othomas2** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 11:10 am

Thanks Stewart... I studied 'Drawing' at Camberwell College of Arts, but the course was very open ended and theoretical so probably spent most of my time verging towards painting if you can call it that.

I quite often paint on paper and draw on canvas, so no rules Mixed Media perhaps ?

1 or 2 of the months each year involved an elective & I chose photography, so that played a part too.

cheers

Late to the party here - damn you're good Owen, really really like your work. Would happily buy something from you if I had spare cash for aesthetic wonderfulness right now! Not that they're expensive by any means! Totally worth is and excellent stuff.
