Just something really quick. Until I get around to saving a web friendly version of my last painting. Then when I'm happy with finishing the new CD site, ill post a link to check it out in the context of a website background image.

Process!

Decided to be a little different and share part of the process that went behind
creating a new painting/background image I'm doing for the new http://www.cinemadiabolica.com that will be finished hopefully this weekend? Anyhow, so I looked at a bunch of Giallo movie posters for inspiration, took a photo for reference, and sketched this out.

Then happy with this sketch for the most part, I decided to trace it and make a ghetto transfer of the sketch to apply to the wood panel I was going to paint on.

And thats it for now. Next update should include the painting and new background image for everyone's enjoyment.

skwak!

Not enough updates I know. And these aren't really impressive or anything. They did put a smile on face though, and sometimes, isn't that enough?

I drew Capn Marvel based on Alex Ross's interpretation. Because he looks like a psycho and hottie at the same time.

Heres some portraits I did for practice not too long ago. I may make it a habit to rape the art opening pictures from the back of juxtapoze more often.

Me heart bigfoot

Hey look at that, five months has passed by already? Time flies when you're busy starting a new life, moving, adjusting, AND having fun. anyhoo I have been doing a lot of art, not as much as I would like/normally because of the whole uprooting and adjusting but I'm hanging on. Even new art stuff for work. Anyway I was keeping this a secret since I thought we would make posters soon, but it may not bee for a long time. I started to buy screen printing stuff so I may try to do a run of these someday? who knows. ANYWAY. Back to posting art. Hopefully more frequently.

And the line art I inked. For this I had to practice a bit since it had been YEARS since i've traditionally inked anything.

Whoo boy.

Been a while huh? Life has been pretty damn busy if you hadn't guessed. Although I haven't updated here as often as I'd like, I have been busy painting and designing stuff. And look, heres a little watercolor image I made as a graphic for an upcoming site.

(Remember) Walking in the sand...

Commission piece for a friend, "Cortez and Eddie on the beach" 48" x 32". I need more commission pieces people. I can't stress enough I will art for food. In the mean time I'm working on my slightly secret series of portraits so I can hopefully have a show in a couple of months and THEN get more commissions. Its hard whoring yourself.

Detail:

Hey-O!

Wow look at me bein all pro-active here? So I did this poster... Its for the Arizona Underground Film Festival. It had a really quick turnaround time so The option of designing something really elaborate and painting it was out of the question. (as I love traditionally done movie posters). So I did a poster inspired by the flag for Arizona and the fact that most of the films in the fest are gonna be horror in nature. And I tried to stick with a screen printing aesthetic. Badda bing badda boom. And a quick sketch for my pal Nico who had to go a move! Lame! Actually no, I'm just jealous. Anyhoo I have to go to work now. Super lame.

Yub nub, eee chop yub nub
