geoartifex – Geoffrey Welles

About

I like things concrete, but in more of an organized chaos. A crazy symmetry and the occasional contrast is what I'm exploring at the moment. Right now it's a slow process, but a forward moving one nonetheless! The Abstract Machina is a style that fits "who" I am. Mechanics, machines, gears, and pipes all gather together to create...nothing...nothing works. It's the abstract of it that allows me the freedom to flow across the page.

Really, really great picture, with really, really strong symbolism. Ravens are my favorite birds! (8

Hi Mr. Welles, this is your student in Foundations Art hour one, Elisa B. Just being a friendly neighborhood creeper, passing by and enjoying the artwork. c: I definitely got sidetracked in my search for better references of one Gordon Freeman, but hey! I ended up finding some very neat stuff here.

Robots unite! The machine struggles, tortures, and emerges victorious in this large expansion of the Abstract Machina style.

FINISHED! I love how the grayscale machina can just keep me going without any worry. Just pure art making at the basic of levels....

Whew! FINALLY!! Another Machina finished....a complete dry spell and artistic wall kept me from making anything for quite awhile. But I got out my Hammer of Art and broke through the wall! ;)

Whew! This one started exactly ONE week ago and it was a few late nights getting it inked and ready. I'm starting to find that I really enjoy such a smaller canvas because I'm forced to create space in such a tiny area. Too much fun!! What's next?

There's nothing quite like personal pain to get you to work hard on one's Art! A nasty case of shin splints has me on the disabled list from running (one more week!); so I was working on this one with ice wrapped around my shins...
