ok

So yesterday I put up a picture, and I haven't done a TON of work but here's a quick update of the painting and a new page of my sketchblog.


Seriously, just lemme know what you think.

PLEASE?!

Also while painting I've been listening to White Chapel, All Shall Perish, Salt the Wound, Through the Eyes of the Dead. While drawing on the other hand I've been listening to Mos Def, Black Star, Erykah Badu, and A Tribe Called Quest.

ARGH!

Holy jeebus. I totally forgot to update this thing. I've been drawing!

I swear!

I swear on my puppy's life!

Anyone who knows how unhealthily obsessed I am with my dog will know that I'm not kidding around. I mean it.

Anybody want a peanut?

Princess Bride references...yea. It's been a while. This isn't all of it, but it is all of my sketchbook. Anyways let me step aside and put my artwork where my mouth is.

Newest..

It's done, these are just "un-good" cell phone pictures and when I get my camera back from my girlfriend I'll post "real" pictures as well. I also recommend clicking on each picture to get a better look at it.

A lil' late, but better than a missed period?

So yea, those of you who follow me on facebook have seen that I've been trying to update that frequently, and those of you who only follow me there won't read this. DAMN YOU! Anyways, I was going to start a new painting that involves a saber tooth tiger skull and autumn leaves but my girlfriend said "If you don't keep painting animals practicing religion you'll never see my boobs again."

Ok she didn't say that but she did say I should keep painting 'em so spontaneously I figured out what I wanted to do. Needless to say I sketched it out today and I worked out the details in pen and just started writing random words. Free association is how I title most of my pieces. Enjoy!

A Process...

Ok, so today I'll be drawing later, but since I didn't have to work I'm going to be updating now and blahblahblah you don't care. Anywho, this update is going to show how I work from start to finish. I'm only going to post the process of 1 painting up here and on my facebook "fan" page I'll be posting this update AND another painting from beginning to end. If you wanna see it click on the little facebook icon thing on the right. Anyways without further adieu, here goes nothin'!

I usually draw everything on paper first, with color ideas and title ideas:


Then I draw it out onto canvas using a regular pencil:


Then...painting:















Then after a few little details and minor little alterations that no one will notice except me..the finished product!

Forcing Day two.

Was having trouble of thinking of things to draw.
