Butterfly man...

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

Zombiemom

Gotta fix a couple things about this guy (mainly tone down the chin), but it is mostly done... not super stoked, background too loose and bright, but sick of working on it, so....

:P

Pregnant!

This is from a drawing I did like 4 months ago, before the Mcad class, just wanted to have something new to show... havent worked on it in forever, the halo is kind of weak and the ribs are not how I wanted them but, what can ya do.... it isnt oil paint so I guess I have to slog on through. I think I will go with simple color scheme, just the flowers and maybe the sky and leave it at that, maybe just the flowers so it can be done..... I didnt think that anyone looked at this page, but in the last week I have had three people mention it, which made me happy.

:)

Apocalypse goat

Not happy at all with this guy, but gotta finish it anyways, since I have spent like a million hours on this fucker. UGH! I am definitely feeling the oil paint way more at this time.... will post some picks of the 3 oil paintings I am working on this weekend hopefully. Seriously, ugh. Realizing that the hair and forehead look weird, but dont want to waste all this time I have put into it.... :(

Tree man finished!

Took a while, with the holidays and all, but I am finally finished with my treeman painting. Not 100% stoked on it, but gotta move on anyways. I have 3 more watercolor/gouache paintings to finish before I get back to the oils..... gotta get grinding away.

Zombie!

Working on a painting of a zombie head.... I feel like the zombie apocalypse is right around the corner.... I read World War Z, Day by Day Armageddon and Walking Dead - I am living inside a zombie fantasy and think that a painting is due that reflects that.... unfinished, but I felt like I just had to post it.... see the burned out city below? Should I make it Mpls?

Update. Finished. Pretty stoked.

Wedding hands

Painting I am doing for a friends wedding as a gift, taken from photo of daughters hands. As usual, walnut ink, gray wash, and a little gouache thrown in, though maybe not used as effectively as I would like.

Survival!

I survived the run, it was beautiful.... experienced the most amazing runners high ever. Really. Total euphoria.
Last week I helped at my friend Lindsay's class at MCAD, it was interesting, I finished this painting, start to finish in about 1.5 hours while giving a demo on spit shading and the use of walnut ink. I don't think many of them got anything out of it, but oh well it was fun anyways.
