Well this is a little different.. I used Montana spray paints for the background, paint pens for the butterflies and lettering, and acrylic with brushes for the skull.. Thought I’d try some mixed media and I’ll probably be incorporating more once I get my painting chops up. Hope you like it.
Painting is hard.
I’m having tons of fun painting and trying out new techniques and I think I’m going to stick to acrylics. This is the first painting I’ve done bigger than 6 – 8″ so it was a lot of fun. A good friend and also kick-ass painter has been nice enough to give me a lot of tips and answer my endless questions, so I’ve tried to apply as much of that as I could. This is definitely moving more toward what I’m trying to achieve.
I still have so, so, so, so far to go until I’m happy, but this I think, is a good start.
Hey, so it’s been way too long since I posted on this thing.. Recently I’ve been inspired to pick up a paint brush basically for the first time.
Here are 2 little paintings for your eyeballs. Acrylic on dollar store wood board and wee canvas.
Some sketches I did recently that will eventually become paintings.. Letters and letter structure are a pretty incredible artform of their own.. Graffiti, to me, is language as art and I love it.
Sometimes when you don’t have time to attempt a masterpiece, a detailed sketch can do wonders to get rid of an art jones. This particular piece went through several phases before it ended up as it is now.. There are a couple things about it that bug the shit out of me but whatever.. There’ll be more sketches coming soon.
Well there are always those nights that happen when you have a camera and inexplicable lighting conditions.. and strange girls. 
This was a fun piece to do. Prismacolors on vellum is a great medium. This was for a tattoo flash thing that I was working on.
I’ve always wanted to colour stuff in Photoshop but I never got around to it until a while ago. I started by asking Cablz (<- That’s a link by the way.) questions and pried out some seriously useful information which got me going.
This drawing was done during a time where all I could really think about the perils of factory farming and how absolutely disgusting it’s become..
My epic overuse of the splatter brush can’t be met. Thank you splatter brush, for making it look like I have a semblance of talent.
