i ain't need no school tryna tell me how to do art! ( I don't have 40 grand to go )
this one was quick; the girl in it is a rendering of my friend. colored pencil and pen

then, this is one i drew four years ago in #2 pencil. i hope i've since improved.

tedkennedy · 06-17-2008, 03:27 PM

^ i think iv said this before but you have talent. you have a very specific style, that could be a good and bad thing, just dont let it limit you.

since you dont go to art school. what exactly do you do?

The SARS Volta · 06-24-2008, 12:38 PM

this is one i just did. i can't get over how badly distorted and dulled out it looks from the digital camera I took it on (it's in my sketchbook).

badgoalie85 · 06-24-2008, 12:53 PM

i like the blue duck....oh and the brown deer thing with the pink coming out of its head.

turmaline · 06-26-2008, 12:54 PM

true real artists don't need school.

These hand-sculpted cupcake necklaces are now being sold at a local shop (along with my guitar pick earrings). Supposedly, people are eating them up. Har har.

One of the few things Ive made for myself at work...

AnimalLover420 · 07-08-2008, 09:39 PM

Those are beautiful. Is it etched glass?

Bongy_Digital · 07-09-2008, 12:26 AM

Thanks AnimalLover. Yep it is etched glass/stainless steel. Good Eye!

I'm in the process of making another chain

Bongy_Digital · 07-11-2008, 06:29 PM

Yall made me realize I need to do more shit for myself at work instead of fuck around when my orders are done. Gotta spruce up the cupboards. Here are some glasses I did this afternoon. Thanks for the inspiration AnimalLover and Sars!

Ziggy Fry · 07-11-2008, 08:32 PM

Wow. Those are awesome.

What exactly is your job, bongy?

This is a poster I made for my final project in design.

Sin.Ziggy.

Bongy_Digital · 07-11-2008, 08:47 PM

Thanks Ziggy. Im an engraver. Unfortunately for me the most creative I can get with true orders is laying out awards and shit. Which is pretty much what fonts to mix and what not. But yeah I need to start taking advantage of the equipment at my hands more. These cultureless fucks down here only care about either a Palmetto tree or a gamecock/clemson paw getting engraved on shit. I wish I could find an avenue to sell this sort of stuff. Live, learn and take that shit with me is the way I see it.

Smaerd · 07-11-2008, 08:50 PM

Um bongy I'd buy one of your cups if I had money, those things are sickkk. Just set up an art booth or something at some nearby art show. I dunno even remotely where you live, but if there's any city around look for like an art show or something where everyone can put up booths or something. Keep it uppp

If you could do that to bongs/hookas I think you could find yourself in some money. Or do those etching/engraving things wear off easily?

Bongy_Digital · 07-11-2008, 08:54 PM

Thanks Smaerd, great advice. Im seriously gonna stash that advice in the brain. The closest city is a fairly large college town, USC, however has NOT one decent music venue, very little in the arts area and pretty much a shit ton of bars for activity. But yeah Im gonna ponder your idea. Good to hear from ya man!

I'll second that. God, I need a job.

I'm glad we could inspire you, Bongy!! Those newest creations are fucking beautiful. The etching looks great up against the blue glass, and the detail on the Serengeti scenes are insane. You've got lots of talent, mister!!

etsy.com

Try this place out. Having a store there is free, listing fees are only 20 cents per item and your listings stay up for 4 months (or until someone buys them). AND Each listing can have up to 5 pictures. It is a website specifically geared toward handmade goods, so people who shop there are looking for exactly the type of thing you can do. I've got a store there, and I've made 90 sales. It's not a bad gig, really. And that way it doesn't matter if you live in buttfuck nowhere, you can gather a customer base all the same.
