New blog and website

2008-02-04T01:04:00.000-05:00

My new blog and website are now up at http://www.davidvmoore.com/

Posts from this blog have been ported over. Everything is still in development there and is currently a work in progress but most parts of the site are functioning.

Slow Summer Fade

2007-09-09T16:13:00.000-05:00

I finished up a new digital illustration/collage - Slow Summer Fade. 8x10's on archival paper are available in the shop. This image combines mod/op art inspired geometric shapes and patterns with contemporary urban and painted textures. I wanted a more muted/faded look for this one with some gritty textures lightly scratched in.

Featured Treasuy on Etsy

2007-08-09T16:52:00.000-05:00

I was surprised to see my curated treasury on the front page of Etsy the other day. These are some of my favorite artists on the site and I'm glad they received some extra exposure. The theme of the treasury was faces/portraits and it was difficult to cut things down from over 30 great choices in my favorites to just 16. Congrats to all the artists who nabbed a spot. For whatever reason, a few of my picks were edited out before they made it on the front page but were mysteriously still present via the treasury list. It may have just been a random arrangement thing.

Long Time, no post

2007-07-26T21:34:00.000-05:00

I've been busy working on prints for my shop at etsy. I've sold two paintings there in the last month and I'm surprised at the amount of traffic I get there. It is comparable to the traffic I get from Ebay auctions. The cost is much less and listings last for four months. I was also featured on the front page a few days ago with my Fragmentary Soul Dance print. This is the second time one of my pieces has been on the front etsy page but the first time I thought to grab a screenshot.

I also now have some of my work on Boundlessgallery and I've been featured on Trunkt this week with my Feverbloom painting, Reminiscence print and Flaming Seapinys print. I'll be posting some pics of my new prints and digital work soon.

"Grown Together", Acrylic on Canvas, Abstract Triptych, 72 x 36

2007-06-13T19:00:00.000-05:00

Today's painting is a large triptych which took about two weeks to complete. I kept coming back to it after many frustrating hours and looking at the whole piece with fresh eyes. I finally finished and feel like I've gotten over a large "hump".

This piece was SOLD on 6/26/07

Also, I've opened up a shop at etsy - http://davidvmoore.etsy.com/ - I've begun putting some of the unsold pieces in there and will be offering archival prints of older works soon. I'm looking at work from way back (10+ years) and thinking "hey, that might make a nice print". They certainly aren't doing me any good sitting in storage and it should be fun (and tragically nostalgic) to look through images I haven't even touched in years. We'll see what makes the cut.

"Sublimation" , Abstract Portrait, Acrylic on Canvas, 36"x24"

2007-05-24T22:44:00.000-05:00

This is the first time I've incorporated abstract human forms in the work shown on this blog. I'm attempting to bring in more of the style I work in on personal artpieces with the last few paintings I've posted. In this piece, I have an abstract face in a transformative state, struggling to find peace among chaos. What can I say, I've been very stressed out lately!

Sales on Ebay have been good the last two weeks. Things have picked up since last month and I'm finding myself spending a lot of time packing, shipping, photographing, and coding html. A full website is still in the works. Currently www.dvmstudios.com and www.davidvmoore.com both point to my Ebay Store, but I'd like to have a fully functioning website up within a month or so. Integrating the blog completely into the website is also in the works. Now if I could only find more time to paint! I have a lot of new designs sketched out and will be working on those this week. I'm trying to keep up with "one a day" painting but it is a challenge and I often miss a few days. My goal for the rest of this month and throughout March is have as few gaps as possible. It seems to help my Ebay auctions to have new things up on a daily basis.

Thank you to everyone who has purchased one of my paintings and taken the time to write to me about my work. I really appreciate the interest and feedback I've received over the last few months. I've managed to sell over 75% of everything I've listed and I'm thrilled to be able to communicate directly with collectors and fellow artists. It has truly been a great experience that has injected some "new life" into my work.

"Storm under Skin" , Abstract , Acrylic and Gel on Canvas

2007-01-20T02:57:00.000-05:00

36" x 24" x 3/4"

My first foray into using self-leveling gel mixed with acrylic and applied on canvas. I had experiemented with the gel a few months ago for a mixed media sculpture project, but this is the first time I've tried it on canvas. There a lot of possibilities with the get as it dries clear. When mixed with transparent and iridescent paint, it gives off a luminous glowing quality in different lighting. Deep fissures have formed on the surface and it has the feel of a gel-like skin.

"Formation Seas" , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas

2007-01-05T21:49:00.000-05:00

24" x 24" x 3/4"

Looks like I skipped a few days. New kittens = less time to paint.

This one is a smaller version of the previous splash-syle paintings with a slightly different technique. It seems that the paint is much easier to control if the canvas is a more manageable size. My arms still end up covered in paint up to the elbow though.

"Twister" , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas , Diptych

2007-01-01T23:43:00.000-05:00

36" x 24" x 3/4"

First painting up for the new year. This one has a lot of movement and energy created by thick impressionistic knifework. One of my recent favorites. I think it has a strong expressive quality.

2006-12-30T15:01:00.000-05:00

36" x 24" x 3/4"

A switch in painting styles this time out. I've experimented with a loose, impressionistic technique done entirely with painting knives. The scale of objects is distorted (streetlights towering over skyscrapers, lights bursting like flower petals) to give it a more surreal look. The cityscape street is empty, and the sun is glowing in the distance.

Flowers in Magenta Snow , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas , Diptych

2006-12-24T07:41:00.000-05:00

48" x 24" x 3/4"

I believe this is the first painting I've done with magenta as a prominent part of the color scheme. I don't know why I've avoided this pink-ish tone so much in the past. I think it's always been an issue of finding the right colors to complement it. Shades of violet seem to work pretty well.

"Unseen" , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas

2006-12-22T17:01:00.000-05:00

36" x 24" x 3/4"

Another splash-style painting with a more delicate effect. This one was left to dry and recoated with extra washes over the course of a few days. The overrall design changed quite a few times during the process, to the point where it was no longer recognizable from the first coat. I think it has an ethereal, ghost-like appearance.

Red Mood Compartment , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas

2006-12-21T05:26:00.000-05:00

Acrylic on Canvas, 30" x 20" x 3/4"

A modern geometric abstract panel design with layers of thick rich texture. Tools used to achieve the look were various palette and painting knives. A glossy gel was mixed into the acrylic for the center square and layers of thin, transparent glazes were washed over the textured center design. I love the sense of space and thick textures in these geometric panel designs and I intend to do a series of them.

SOLD

Overflow , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas

2006-12-20T05:03:00.000-05:00

36" x 24" x 3/4"

A huge splash painting with some unusual and unexpected results. The design took on a very active and dramatic look after spraying water drops over the semi-dry paint and glaze. I like working this way as the process produces results that could never be exactly duplicated. A very one-of-a kind image results.

Long Day Ending , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas

2006-12-19T04:48:00.000-05:00

30" x 20" x 3/4"

This is the first painting posted up to the blog! Finished in one day and inspired by a very looong day indeed. I tried to stick mainly to cool shades with some spots of yellow for contrast and to bring in a focal point/light source.
