Some recent sketches

Pen exercises circa last night.

I am working on some other stuff right now, but I don't really like that stuff enough to post pics yet. Soon I hope.

Benn painting

Get it? I've been painting.

This is a very old piece I did as a housewarming present for my friend Benn. He's so damn suave. It's taken from a camera phone, so the quality isn't great. Hopefully I'll get a better pic soon.

Backgrounds finished

Got the basic backgrounds done for the series of three paintings I'm currently working on. I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. It was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be to tie these three themes together. Very fun challenge though.

New three-part painting

I've got a new three part painting I've started for my dad. Everyone's hopping on the bandwagon. This is the first part, unfinished of course:



The plan is for each panel to be done in a different color palette--this first one is orange/yellow, the second will be greens, the third in blues.

Updated pics

Here's a better picture of the beach painting:

Also, I finished the Japanese tattoo painting. Here is the finished product:

Be gentle, it's my first time

First post. Exciting!

So right now I'm at my brother's in Las Vegas. He's commisioned me to paint him a large, 3 panel painting that I have to complete by tomorrow before I leave Tuesday morning. Below are some not-so-great pictures that I've taken with my phone of the unfinished product. Probably will be posting better pics of the completed PAINting* by tomorrow.

I've been obscenely busy with this, and the following painting for my brother's friend, for the past week or so. It's been great to get back into the habit of working on projects, although I wish I wouldn't have procrastinated so much with the process. As it is, my last day here will probably be filled with painting extremely fast and not as precise as I would usually endeavor. Anyway, here's the second painting (finished):

The pictures barely represent the real article, but I don't have a digital camera yet. Hopefully tomorrow I can borrow one, if I haven't already ripped out all of my hair by then. I'm not really sure how that would impede my ability to borrow a camera, but hey, it's 3:20 in the morning, so gimme an effing break.

'Til next time,
