Velvet?!?

Did this little ditty for the "Velvet Underground" show @ Sacred Gallery in Soho. It's 16x20 without the frame, Acrylic on Velvet. Had a good time with it, def a challenging surface to paint on, took some patience and several heavy coats to get good saturation. Enjoy!

...and another...Two


Although I've clearly been slacking on my blogging I've been pretty productive in the studio, here are two more previews of pieces in progress, finish products coming soon!!

Both are mixed media on canvas (and when I say mixed I mean MIXED! ink, acrylic, paper, coffee, spraypaint, leaves!?, etc...)

Been too long...


Allrighty, let's start with my usual apology for tardiness, busy at work, moving, etc...Without, further ado, here's some of lots of new stuff I'm getting ready to finish up.

First, on the bottom here is a small (6"x 9") graphite drawing of lady liberty not looking her best, and up top is an acrylic painting on a skateboard deck of a rather dapper-looking dead guy. The first is part of a much larger piece, and the second is about 90% done...as usual, more to come, enjoy!

New-ness!!







As per usual I've got some updates, but nothing quite finished...first is a graf-collage type jammie, and the other is going to be primarily graphite, but still undecided, I'll post more info with the finished projects...

So I've been terribly delinquent in updating this bad boy, and finishing the projects I intend to post, so I thought I'd toss up a couple in-progress pieces for now...First is a monkey on board/brown paper, and the second (Below) is a jackalope on h/p watercolor paper. Grahpite on both...stay tuned for finished pics, and a couple more previews soon (or asap)...thanks.

Sparrow on a Cherry Tree...


So still playing around with graphite, this guy is 7x5. First attempt at a realistic style pencil piece, likely more to come in the near future, trying out some new techniques and materials.
For those interested, that awesome piece of paper is a 200lb HP watercolor paper with a feathered deckle from a company called Twinrocks. This was drawn completely with an HB mechanical pencil.

Greedy as a Pig (with a monocle)





I know I've been terribly delinquent in posting here, I do apologize to those few (possibly) interested parties.

Anywho, here is the progress thus far on my latest. It is of course a pig with a pipe, bow tie, monocle, and top hat. Going for a few layers of contrast here: Realistic pencil shade vs simple line drawing; clean white space vs rough brown, etc...Kinda fun for a tattoo artist this way, similar to the way I work in that medium. Start with a simple black line drawing, then attempt render that in a more nuanced realistic way. Simple, hot press illustration board, HB pencil, torn up brown paper, and Staedtler Pigment liner pens (Awesome!). Anyway, just playing around. Will post some final pics in a few days (I hope) when it's complete.

Cambridge Adventure




Allrighty, sorry about the delay been super busy at the shop and working on this new piece for a bit.
Just sold this one at the Tattoo Circus show at Hourglass Tattoo in Cambridge, Mass. Had a great time in Cambridge and at the opening. Big thanks to Andrew and John!
As for the piece, it's about 24x18, watercolor and marker on paper.
I've got a couple of new ones in the works allready so stay tuned for some more!

More new stuff

Getting a little bored with these little ones, working on a good size piece, so look out for that. As for this one...

5x7 marker and watercolor on paper

and Another One...



Little irony, just having some fun. I love painting stuff like this, random objects in a tattoo style, fun way to do the sort of pieces most people would rather not wear permenantly.

Finished

In progress


So as I mentioned before I'm always interested in the processes of other artists and so planned on showing some of my own here. Nothing crazy or new here, but this is the ink stage of my next watercolor piece. I use a variety of pens/markers, Staedtler, Micron, Sharpie, etc...and right now just a standard cold press watercolor paper, medium tooth, acid free. I also use hot press illustration board for some water color projects. Finish product should be up soon, framed and all. Stay tuned, enjoy.

Brass Knucks


Here's another new one. 5x7 marker and watercolor on paper.
