I haven't really written about the whole process, mostly drawing articles for drawing magazine, but lots of workshops all over the world. the next one is going to be in Belgium. I sometimes do studies, sometimes I use wing it, which is how my training was like at the Art students League, just start painting. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, when it doesn't work no one sees it. :)David Kassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15804928815437568469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213984215039518437.post-49791052920970095872009-01-06T09:57:00.000-08:002009-01-06T09:57:00.000-08:00I'm very impressed with your paintings. Very few contemporary painters can pull off solo figure pieces of that scale. Have you written about your working methods? I am curious if you do a drawing study/color study first and then go on to the full scale piece?Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15558728689418729104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213984215039518437.post-50481108830455119822008-12-12T18:46:00.000-08:002008-12-12T18:46:00.000-08:00awesome, awesome painting.Amberahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16110306327335390517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213984215039518437.post-84856816301326253502008-10-28T08:33:00.000-07:002008-10-28T08:33:00.000-07:00Beautiful painting!!!

Great work on the school bus, you should really market that idea, you could make a fortune. really highend clients personalize each box, and make other versions, like a hummer or a bentley version, like they do with golf carts for rich folks. <BR/><BR/>Annamaria, thanks for checking out the painting IRL, I haven't been able to get a photo of it yet and it got a little smudged in its travel to the gallery, so it needs a touch up. <BR/><BR/>Casey, cheers! awesome studio btw. makes me want to move out of Brooklyn. <BR/><BR/>Ariel, thanks!<BR/><BR/>Hubert, awesome work, I been checking in every now and then to see what you are up to. <BR/><BR/>David Golas, I think I'm going to swing down to Philly in a couple of weeks to see the US artists show. Maybe we can meet up for a Philly Pretzel. I really miss those things and WAWA as well. <BR/><BR/>didi, Thanks for the nudge, I think I'm going to haft wait for the next issue to submit, I've been getting slammed. <BR/><BR/>Adebanji, thanks as well. I think kassanism are more like the stupid things that i say all of the time, that my friends remember. :)David Kassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15804928815437568469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213984215039518437.post-23176134127443724332008-09-22T11:06:00.000-07:002008-09-22T11:06:00.000-07:00You magnificent bastard. Your stuff is too good...
