Shakespeare never painted this
Terrific painting - beautiful - and I've always loved Montfort's photograph of Bukowski taken in Germany, from Shakespeare Never Did This... If the paintingever becomes available as a poster, I'd get one fasterthanthis: It captures perfectly Bukowski and the marvelous spell he casts upon his readers... It reminds me of a renaissance painting come to life in today's world - something old world about it that brings soul and satisfaction to the heart, and has lasting, classic appeal. Well done.

Here is a Bukowski painting that I did last year (2008).

SMEAR, I just had a quick look at your paintings. very nice stuff. Basquiat an influence?
The 4 artists that have influenced me the most are: Basquiat, Picasso, Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly....there are more, but those are the most profound.
If you find yourself in Southern Cali any time soon...stop by my Museum exhibit.

I just skulked around your website real quick. I dig your art pieces...that Ralph Steadman style drawing really caught my attention. Good job.

Wietzek-book out now
note: this is NOT an advertisment. I'm just trying to be useful and help people with opportunities.
My friend, the painter Richard Wientzek will have his first cataloque out next week.
Haven't seen it yet. But he ensured me, the Bukowski-pic is in it. According to official release-info, it has 101 color pictures, 74 pages and format is 25x21cm. The price will be 15,- EUR (approx 22.- USD).
I sure as hell will buy a couple. And I'm pretty sure, he will make me a special price. (I think 12,- EUR would be fair to both of us.) So, if anyone is interested: Here's the chance to get the first cataloque/book on Richard Wientzek - signed and dedicated (I'll make that sure).
Please don't forget, there's shipping cost too. But I won't charge more than the real cost. Maybe I can send the whole bulk to one of the US-members and they will deliver from there, if that's any cheaper.
Also, though the book will be officially available for everybody for some time (it'll have an ISBN), my offer here goes not for ever. If you want me to do it for you, having it signed and dedicated, you'll have to decide till about next week.

it came today. very nice looking book. extremely talented painter.
Yesterday was a vernissage of Richard's paintings in the rooms of the gouvernment of Upper-Franconia in Bayreuth (Wagner-fans will know the city).
Today was an article about it in a paper and - guess, which picture they choose to go with that article! Right!
It's here (sorry, language is German):
http://www.nordbayerischer-kurier.de/nachrichten/1287853/details_8.htm
(and now you know, why I was already drunk, when I sat down on my computer last night.)

no. In German, the word 'Maler' (without 'h'!) means painter.
(so it's meant to be the return of the 'innocence' of the painters.)
The message is, that Richard goes in some ways back to the German Romantics of the 19th century like Caspar David Friedrich. That's especially for his landscapes.
Later in the article, the author sees, that this isn't a real go-back (as one might think at first sight), since Richard takes the 'romantic' out of the landscape, showing how man has changed nature: a pathway line through nature, the texture of acres, power-poles right between trees, etc.

Appreciate your friends
Yeah I got published in the paper today but not with a painting or even a picture. roni you are a superstar.
That's funny. I messed it up because you mentioned Wagner.
My German is not great but yes, I know what a maler is ;)
Good one, Bukfan. Probably there for disregarding leash laws. Also, congrats, roni, on the article. Certainly a "cool as fuck" moment.
