Those are awesome! Clearly I'm a newbie to the boards, so can you explain the above quotation to me? Thanks!

Cityzen: Well it sounds like you guys really have it nailed. How then did you come up with the name for your band?

Damian: Tim and I, when we were twelve, we had this art teacher at this summer camp. Now art teachers, you don’t expect to be of the highest caliber, but this guy was a 19-year-old, stoned, hairy dude – he never showered – he was qualified to do art because he was always in touch with the sublime. So you’d be drawing a still life or something, and he’d lean over you while you were drawing and he’d watch you draw for 3 or 4 minutes, just kind of silent going “ok, alright” sometimes. Then, at some point, he’d be like, “Dude….I want you to like…reach out of you…to where that bottle is…and touch that bottle…and then I want you to reach into you…to where before the paper was…and then you need to draw the difference.” And we’re twelve, so I’m stretching it to not draw an airplane or a girl in a bikini, but I’ll give it a shot, man.

Lol, I was too shy to ask what that quote meant. I'm glad somebody did. Ah, I love burned out hippies. It's so much fun to mess with their heads man.

hahah, I do inspire you all to try, mostly because I believe a lot of you can surpass me. Although, Tempe gets a hug for flattering me and making me grin like a kid in a candy store: *hugs!*

We do need more OK Go artwork though. Everyone start drawing!!!

I like it! The first time I saw it I figured it was Damian, cause of the hair.
Exactly how many posters DO you have around your bed?

Since I'm REALLY bored, I just ran upstairs and counted. Fifteen, apparently!

This is a picture of Damian that I did in paint:



I planned on doing the others, but it's not working out so well.

thephantommilk

especially for paint.

I'm in awe.

crocuscrown9

Thanks!
When I get bored I try to draw things in paint.

Yeah that's awesome...especially for paint. Nice job. I've tried to draw him by hand but I'm not good at shading. I need to start drawing some more. I wanna see what you could do with photoshop.

DSikes

I concur, that was a pretty amazing drawing.
