Jesus!

Though I am not a Christian, I love painting classical style images.... this is done in oils.

On a Roll

Painting for Light Grey art lab show... 16x20... Painting of Persephone daughter of Demeter. Oils, definitely overworked that f'ing face, but oh well. Photo definitely does not do it justice.

Broke the funk....

Took a couple weeks off... man so much guilt for not painting. Ripped this out in one night and really loved just knocking it out.... Oils on an old skate deck.

Devil Tarot

Painting for Tarot Card art show..... I have some more goodies in the works hope to post soon! 14x18 Oils...

Goofing around

Plenty of my sketches end up becoming paintings. This is one such painting.

Dumping....

Here are 3 of a series of pinups I have done. All oils, one I started last year.... photos arent the best but you get the idea.... will try and post more frequently.

Fawn and Nymph

Ok, things are starting to come together.... Oils 20"x28" feel like this could be a good year for painting.

Too long!

I have been painting and drawing a ton, but obviously not updating my blog! I have a bunch of started, but not finished projects.... :P Here is something I started a year ago, and finished this summer... Posts will come more frequently.... This is Oils on Panel....

Dragon Slayer...

 

This baby took way more time than I thought it would... working on some shit, trying to find, will take quite a while to get there. Painted as a gift for a buddy... ;)

Skull

 Did this in one night, a couple months ago....really simple, trying to get away from over refined shit....

Space Man

Another guy painted from a doodle.... I swear I will spend more time in the future thinking out things like lighting and background.....

Bigfoot

This comes from a middle of the night feeling sorry for myself and my lack of imagination. Finished pretty quick, not a ton of refinement, but I am enjoying a little faster pace for some paintings.

Avapocalypse

Painting I started over a year ago.... quit for a while, finished it this week. As always, would do a ton different, but slowly working towards something, just not sure what that is.....

Work in progress

Some of these photos are rough, but here is an example of progress on the Jabba pinup.

Whoo WHOO!

Finally feel like we are getting somewhere! Been painting for a while with not major breaks and I think the next couple guys will be pretty cool. Did this for an erotic art show, not stoked on the grass, would have liked to had time to put in some insects but just over the whole painting at this point. Angie, my wife is the model.....

Penis

Squeezed this out of a new tube of Cad Orange..... I consider it a fortuitous omen for sure. I have been trying to take better care of my pallet lately, keeping it as clean as possible, w/o wasting paint.... Next pallet I make will last much longer I think -learn as you go!

Finished

The photo doesn't do it justice, Jabba is more prevalent and there is a staircase and door in the upper right corner.... This was for the Hope Gallery Star Wars show, painted in about 3 weeks, everything else went on hold. I was trying to mimic the Elvgren-ish style of pinup... feeling like I am at least progressing in my technical skills, though in hindsight the pose is a little rigid....

Working on a lot....

Got some pieces in the oven, but waiting to post till further along..... Here is one I gotta put on the back burner for a couple weeks....

Baby creature

Done in oils over the last couple months, from a sketch..... just have to say "finished" sometimes.

Drawing

I do LOTS of drawings for tattoos, paintings, illustrations and just for fun.... I should post more, but here are two I did in the last week...... FYI I know that the helmet would look different if it were greek or roman, but it is a fantasy drawing so :P Am going to use the female sketch for a painting, I believe.....

Harpy

Did this to get back on my painting feet, also to try and loosen up... learned ALOT.... these are a progression, I have one more session before I am finished... [ Update: Top photo is finished version.... not super stoked, but happy to be done!]

Surly!

Here is some coaster Jon Sweet and I did for the Surly contest.... I have no idea why we weren't picked! Also the label for Surly's upcoming Smoke beer, I inked, then finished on the computer.... I should really post some of the sketches too....

Millions.

Got a ton of new stuff, just keep forgetting to put it up here! Here are 2 watercolors I did last year....... One a Mother's Day card the other a gift for a friend....

Possible poster....

Working on some graphic designs and came up with something..... I ususally am wanting to illustrate everything in a picture, but having a limitation can be liberating in a way.... am thinking of painting this?

Butterfly man...

I love to do fantastical paintings.... did this over the last week, at our tuesday night drawing sessions..... Just having some fun...
