A Supertopo art hop would be fun.
Justin.....yeah slab can give ya grey hair.
Good lead btw. Got to remember to stretch my calves tho.
From a game we as game developers were trying to market.
Early 90's. Ya know for every game on the store shelves, there are hundreds that never make it due to various reasons.
I have some climber sprites(character animation) that I'll have to post sometime as an aminated .gif
Art thread but climbing related ;)

Jerry that game looks badass any Xbox 360 copies? I ran into Kenny Rose yesterday, and he said him and Mac did Falling Star on Fri. So up top we were following their chalk, what a small world, huh? I'm going to Oakland this weekend but maybe next weekend we can get back on it.

Sounds good.....we'll slab it up.
Oaksterdam huh?
Naw that game never made it :(
I think it was on the original Sega platform.
But the industry progressed in leaps and bounds.
8 bit graphics, then 16 bit, then 32......and so on.
Our programmers could not keep up and the Boss was a punk.

Good stuff so far. I dig the classics though;
Imagine the skill to sculpt like this from marble??? Whoa!!!
The Pieta
Moses
And Perseus with the slain Medusa (outside the museum where the infamous David resides)
I have been blessed to have been able to see all these in person. Amazing stuff.

Gerry with a G. Huh. Congratulations on your gallery space, look forward to checking it out. Looking @ that slideshow reminded me of my house painting days, which I don't miss at all. Them fumes is no good makes me think dizzzzzzy. Nice though, did you laquer and finish the cabinets? Even black glaze in the detail, now that's where you make money. I'm starting to feel dizzy.

Bluering, he was obsessed. It is said he spent night and day, missing meals and sleep for his work. I think this dedication is what makes his work. Much like climbing where your obsession takes over.

Yes, TJI, he was. I would call it passion, but there is rumor of obsession. It is said that the chip on the right shin of Moses is a result of Michelangelo throwing his chisel at Moses in frustration that he appeared so lifelike that he wasn't indeed real.
Brilliant artist and all-around dude.

I found that today on a totally unrelated search. My guess is this is a Russian/Ukrainian woman based on the background in the image and her look/style of dress. A search online for typewriter art turns up a few practitioners.

Way to keep this thread going guys. Typewriter art - whoa.
That Jerry (tiki-guy) with a G can do just about anything - 2-D, 3-D, 4-D perhaps?
Here's an awesome commemorative piece he made for me and some of the "Lost Boys":
Ger, post up a pic of the Half-Dome piece for the fairgrounds. I wanna see!
