the canvas was plywood, the paint was oil based.
first the plywood was painted white and after drying i painted on it with oil based paint.
you are right about the santa painting's "i don't give a shit" feel, that's what i felt it was about too 
i'm not a perfectionist, so i don't care about the background much.

The only kind of background I'd even think about adding on the santas would be a simple gradient or dark purple/blue (like a night sky) - but that's not even feasible 'cause you probably would've had to do it first to make it meld with the edges of the foreground detail. At any rate, I like your work quite a bit. Definitely not bored stiff in front of that canvas. You're even inspiring me to try my own hands at painting!

thanks, geokills!
i'll leave the santas as they are, fuck it.
please do try it, it's relaxing. at least for me. i bought a brush, three colours of oil paint (black, red and deep blue), ground paint (white) and some paint thinner. doesn't cost a lot, especially if you're a beginner and just want to try it out.
the only thing that bothers me is that all the paints and gasoline based cleaning liquid creates fumes in my room which isn't easy to ventilate. the fumes always make my stomach growl and i kind of see a mis tin this room, everything is a bit foggy but this vision goes away in other rooms. brain damage lol

I really like all your art that I've seen so far. It reminds me of some of my own. 
Oh, and I agree that the santa is kickass as it is. But a background wouldn't make it "bad", just different.

I like your newer ones as well. Looks like someone has a very distinctive style.. that's awesome. I uploaded like 6 pictures of something I just did with oil. Check it out if you wanna. I would post them here but I don't understand the whole URL thing with the images... Someone teach me how to post pics, lol.

there's an Image button above the reply box, click there and then paste your link there. OR upload your pics onto the shroomery and get direct links.

I get it, before I was posting the wrong link in there, Thanks!

This is a comic book scetch that I replicated with oil... (it's not quite finish yet though...)

The word box reads, "If this is what I think it is, this is a planet-wide dimensional hijacking. This is potentially rather dangerous."
I thought it was whitty.
My avatar is an old acrylic of mine, here's another like it...

i received the center symbol from my dead grandfather's spirit during my mushroom trip. i don't remember much but he said the modern man's quest for spiritual renewal & philosophical clarity can be symbolized with a man with his head up his ass, surrounded by an ouroboros and a "K" in the middle, adding a discordian view to it all. the corner symbols i added myself. they're too abstract to care for.

these paintings lack symmetry. and not in a literal sense.
-------------------- Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time TRANSCEND

All you're paintings look the same. Change it up a little bit? Or is that the only thing you can paint.
