And...SCENE!

So while I feel like I've had no time to myself, in all actuality I've had a ton and come up with some great ideas and actually finished a painting.

Here it is, from a multitude of different views. Lemme know what you think!

"Siddown an' Shaddap"
30"x36"
Water based Oils and Acrylic on Canvas
Above is the finished version and the best photograph I could take. I know I've said it here before but I'm an absolutely awful photographer. Anyone who wants to come take pictures of my work please do! 'Cuz I suck at it. Below is the same painting and mainly the same photo as well just with the flash on. 'Cuz I suck.
This is just for size comparison. The actual size is 36" (h) x 30" (w)
This is how I add the "drips." I'm sure there's a technical term for this but I don't know it. So they're drips. Also this is the point where see all the mistakes I've made an instead of fixing them I just embrace them.
The painting is resting on my painting sweatshirt. In the winter obviously I paint while wearing it and I use it to clean my brushes. During the summer however it also doubles as a drop cloth.

Ooops!

I know! I know!

I'm sorry!

I promised more updates that would come more frequently (like instead of that gap between October and February). Then only one update last week? Really?! What's that all about?

Laziness, and trying to get back on the wagon.

So enough of that, what follows are the concept drawings for a video game that I am working on about Zombies. God I love Zombies. Anyways nothing is set in stone yet and everything might change between now and then but I drew 'em.

The one guy who's leaning funny, yea, I hate that drawing but still it's all gonna be up here.

Love it or hate it, leave me a message and lemme know how you feel! Thanks.

Ugh

So for those of you who might not have heard, this weekend Mark Batty Publishing had an event in Bushwick that was pretty amazing. Graffiti artists where doing HUGE murals that were gorgeous even if you think it's a crime. A ton of gallery spaces, awesome food, free drinks, and a buncha vendors selling hand made original clothes, jewelry, toys, comics, paintings, and dvds.

I was one of those vendors and I made a handful of cash so all of you who got a chance to come out I appreciate it. If you didn't I promise there will be more. I'M BACK ON THE GRIND!

Anyways while I was there during the downtime I did some drawing. Which I will now post so that you may anonymously mock it.

ENJOY! Also please follow me if you have a blog, I will return the favor.

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 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!

Title: "It Ain't Shinola"
Size: 24"x24"
Medium: Water Based Oil Paint, Acrylic, Marker

An easier Day 3

So this time atleast I had some ideas, though I didn't have the patience to finish one, and the other didn't come out so good. I wanted to make a pathetic looking zombie and a steam punk-esque battle droid because I'm a nerd. I usually hate my filigree but this time I liked it and hated my tech bits. Anyways, here's another 2 pages of me doodling.
