  • Hello chrismasonic!

    For the first time I started to think about the relationship of the Joker and Jack the Ripper!

    Robert, all I can do is to make a variation of a Harrison-Starkey song;

    "...All I've got
    Is their photograph
    And I know
    They won't call me back
    Anymore..."

    (PS. Paint is a computer-program I used to make this compilation!)

    All the best

    • Mary Kelly, from my minds eye.

      And using this 3d model.......



      To get an idea of the position of her hair/head in the famous photograph.

      protohistorian-Where would we be without Stewart Evans or Paul Begg,Kieth Skinner, Martin Fido,or Donald Rumbelow?

        • I haven't posted any paintings up for a while, so thought I'd shove something up. I did this one recently, but it's a big bugger, so I've taken bits out of it and blown them up, otherwise you'd need a magnifying glass to see it.

          Hugs

          • Hello Jane!

            A nice piece, a bit like Rembrandt!

            • So nice, yes.
              But a bit like Bruegel, in my view.
              Congratulations.

              • Hi, DW,

                Thanks for posting. Bruegel is a great artist, not one of my favourites, but a great all the same - not that I've got any right to criticize the old masters, but I find Bruguel a bit 'stiff' - I can't think of a better word.

                His figures are all beautiful, but the whole effect is a bit 'detached' and impersonal and lacks a certain intimacy. I think that's because he uses long range views a lot rather than getting in tight to the figures so that you feel that you are looking at them from a hill, rather than being right in the middle amongst them. Not true of all of his stuff, but most of it. Still a great artist.

                Rembrandt - well you don't get better than that..............

                You can tell I've got way to much time on my hands can't you? Hee hee.

                Much love

                Jane

                • Hi Jane,
                  much love too, and again, I really enjoy your composition.
                  I love Bruegel 'cause he takes my imagination to wonderful and ideal middle-ages that never were. I have the same kind of feelings with Chagall.

                  Salut l'artiste!

                  • Maybe Glenn Anderson will post some of his paintings (non-Ripper related from what I remember). I saw at least one a while back and it was quite good.

                    • I wish he would Rob, Glenn's stuff is amazing - he gets such detail into his work. Maybe we should all nag him. Lol.

                        • Not too Ripper-related...

                          ...but this guy has a lot to answer for in terms of his legacy, especially the more dubious aspects of "profiling" and some Ripper theories:



                          The shading's a bit rough - I only had one pencil at the time! - but it's probably the only half-decent drawing I've done

                          • Hi Nemo,

                            I just hope that woman gave the little boy a bit of the fish and chips after she'd given some to the cat!

                            I'm glad you liked it anyway.........

                            • That's bloody excellent Gareth - you've been keeping your light hidden under a bushel haven't you? You've got a very delicate touch - have you got any more tucked away in the cupboard? I'm sure everyone would love to see them.

                              Much love
