Brent Simpson Art

A couple pieces I made based on the souls series of video games. Previously posted on my personal blog.

A piece inspired by The Last Podcast on the Left

Version 2.

A wood grain picture I started today.

I made several ink splatters using block ink and some careful smearing, smudging, and smashing. I scanned, vectorized, and combined these, planning to originally use the resulting shape in conjunction with some drawn elements. However, once I created the shape, I liked the complexity and character of it so much, that I decided to keep the piece an abstract ink work.

Spray paint art. I was going for a gloomy, dark, old-time movie feel.

Just uploaded an older piece to RedBubble for use as iPhone covers. Check it out, let me know what you think. :)

I finally feel like drawing again. The art slump has been going on for far too long. I couldn't decide what to draw, and am HORRIBLE at drawing people... So I started looking for inspiration in the books/comics we have around the house. I came across an Edward Gorey book, and decided to (very loosely) draw one of the characters on the cover (you know the one). But I changed it too much to call it a replication, so it's just kinda... Meh So yeah, not a big fan, but at least it's SOME productivity. (Plus that hand looks ridiculous without a child underneath)

Wish me luck. :)

I have a very deep seeded need to create art, and when I feel the need, anything I've made previously seems worthless or far in the past. The problem is that I keep sinking into these art slumps where I start drawing with no clear idea in mind and then I excessively critique what I'm drawing at the same time. This leads to a lot of frustration and wasted sketch paper. It seems like when I'm inspired, it's effortless to create, there are no rules, I'm the only person I need to please; it's my therapy. That's why I would be afraid to be a contract artist, I have a complex about my art, I never feel like it's any good, and I would be self conscious about anything I was being paid to make. or maybe that's the slump talking...
