yeti hunter

i went over to my boy Casey's house today, and we both worked on some 'art.' i finished up my work in progress 'tentacle love' piece (see below) and started on a new piece. for now i just have a sketch on canvas, this is what i came up with for my next piece. it is 16" x 16"














i like this one so far. im feeling like i want to render this one digitally, so my plan is to wait until after i can scan this sketch at work before i commit it to paint.

here are a couple detail images





















enjoy

new noodles

4th post tonight! what!

actually, its after midnight, so this is my FIRST post of tomorrow

i did some quick sketching on a new canvas last week, and tonight i tightened it up and started with some light painting. so far so good. the canvas is 8" x 8" and i'll be painting with acrylics as usual. i might do some quick color studies in photoshop, but i think i know what i want this to look like

the sketch...













the early painting...













also, for anyone interested, i have Instagram and Twitter accounts...

2 shows, 1 weekend

so this past weekend i participated in 2 shows,

pancakes & booze:
a lot of fun. it was a 2-day event that took place in a pretty large rented warehouse type space. they had a TON of art, a bar, live music, free custom pancakes ( i got blueberry and chocolate chips), and a santa-themed bikini fashion show. i spent several hours there...it was fun.

in the spirit of time-saving, since i was confirmed for the show so late, i finished 2 pieces i had already started and displayed them along with a piece I had finished in october.

price...less @ the hive:
awesome show. the 'price...less' show was cool because all the pieces were under $250, and there were several full single-artist shows there as well. Crowded Teeth (michelle romo) had a full wall of work, and the usual in-house artist work was good as well.

enough typing, im bored of it.
