Art Vs. Artist Again

It’s appar­ent­ly that time of year, when artists look back and post a sam­pling of the work they’ve done the pre­vi­ous year in this for­mat on social media. I’ve been see­ing some of these pop­ping up on LinkedIn the last few weeks or so, with the #ArtVsArtist hash­tag. Look­ing back, it’s been awhile since I did one (2020!), so I thought maybe I’d do it again, join in on the fun.

Any reg­u­lar vis­i­tors here will prob­a­bly rec­og­nize sev­er­al of these from posts I’ve made this year. I debat­ed using a more cur­rent image of myself in the cen­ter, but ulti­mate­ly decid­ed to stick with the same one I used last time. It’s a 12-year-old me, and if you saw the whole pho­to, you’d see I was attempt­ing to do a paint­ing (in oils, no less!) of the USS Enter­prise from Star Trek (the Orig­i­nal series, of course). We all have to start some­where (though the truth is I had been draw­ing for years even before this).

Any­way, thanks for stop­ping by, and a Hap­py New Year to you!

  1. Inter­est­ing lay­out of your work. Care to tell us how you arrived at your choic­es? I love it. The char­ac­ter in the mid­dle frame top. I do not remem­ber see­ing it but I cer­tain­ly must have. Hap­py New Year.

    1. Hap­py New Year! Choic­es were just details of pieces I did that I thought stood out this year for one rea­son or anoth­er. Not every­thing here appeared on my site, but it was all done with­in the con­fines of 2025 (with the excep­tion, of course, of my pho­to in the center).

      1. Can you tell me where the mid­dle pan­el on top was orig­i­nal­ly. I have gone through my mem­o­ry and then through the last cou­ple of years and I can­not seem to find it. Thanks.

        1. Hi Joe,
          Nei­ther that pan­el nor the mid­dle bot­tom one have appeared on my site before. As a rule, I don’t nec­es­sar­i­ly post every piece of art­work I do in a giv­en year on my site, for var­i­ous rea­sons. But I felt like for a year-end sum­ma­tion “Art vs. Artist” piece, details from those two images belonged here.

          1. Thanks. You did warn me in the text that I might not be able to iden­ti­fy every­thing in this post’s mix of images. Again it is ter­rif­ic. Thank you.
