Three Oil Paintings

Brandon, where did you come up with the names for these paintings? They're all very interesting. I'm just curious.

Btw, I think the first one should be renamed, "Friggin' Window to Hell or Something Else that's on Fire." And the last one would make a nice NIN album cover. :-)

Wow Brandon, I really like your paintings. The color combinations are very engaging, especially in Omma, with the oranges and yellows in the background. Great job!

I was curious about the book which influenced Sangdoongi and Not PB. What book or artist inspired them?

Nice paintings. Do you decorate your house with your own art work? Have you ever sold one?

Brandon, nice work. I like the paintings, particularly Not PB.

I wonder how large the actual paintings are?

The disappointing thing about this type of post is that, to me, so much is lost in "displaying" your artwork on a web site, especially something like an oil painting. I'd guess that it really takes away from the paintings. I'm no art buff, but having stumbled into a few museums now and then, I've always been amazed at how different a painting can look (and feel?) when you see it in person. The Mona Lisa, for example, is a pittily little painting and that’s rarely captured in an internet gallery or an art book.

What does Robin Williams (Sean) say to Matt Damon (Will) in Good Will Hunting when he's demonstrating Will's lack of first hand experience outside Boston?

So if I asked you about art you could give me the skinny on every art book ever written...Michelangelo? You know a lot about him I bet. Life's work, criticisms, political aspirations. But you couldn't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling.

I guess I'm saying I can't see the texture so well or smell you're dirty underwear lying under the paintings in your bedroom, Brandon. And that's a shame. (Well....you get my gist.) Still, I like the paintings and appreciate the post.

There is a better image of Sangdoongi in the article now. Mark might not think it as fit for a NIN cover, but it's a much more accurate representation.

Brandon, I agree with one of the comments made earlier, the dimensions would help the visualization and or appreciation of your touch on the canvas. Being the proud owner of one of the recent oil paintings, though otherwise ignorant, I got off on the variety of textures coaxed out of the oil paint. Keep up the good work and don't store on top of dirty underthings. I really don't mean to be captious.
