Work in Progress

Hey everybody,

Here is what I have been working on for the last little while:

"Their Giant Problem" work-in-progress







































And here is something fun that I drew last night at the bar:

I think it would be fun to have a balloon that looked like a giant floating skull.

Work in Progress: The Changeling

Yo Gangsters,

Today I delivered 11 paintings to the WAVE gallery for my show on Friday. It should be a really fun time, and I am trying not to think too much about it because the thought makes me excited and queasy.

Also...and to keep myself distracted...

I am getting ready to start a new painting tomorrow, and I thought that I would show you my preliminary drawings.
Drawing for "The Changeling"

This painting will the the first in a series about Elves and Fairies that I have planned for for late 2012 or early 2013. The painting will be 11 X 14, and will act as small support piece that will add to the impact of the larger conceptual pieces that I have planned....or at least that's what I am hoping anyway.

In my next series, I am planing on doing around ten small paintings, in addition to ten big ones. I never really paint small, so this should be pretty fun, and will probably only take me a few days.

This was drawn with graphite and white charcoal on tinted paper.

Work In Progress

Hello everyone,

I am currently working hard to finish an 18 X 24 painting called the "Antidote" for an up coming show. Today, I thought it would be fun to post some photos of the work-in-progress.












































As you can see, I've got quite a ways to go.

Here is the original sketch.










































This next photo is a really wacky part of my process. In order to transfer my sketch to the canvas, I scan the drawing into Photoshop, enlarge it to the size of my canvas, then chop it into small pieces--my printer only prints 8.5 X 11-- which I then print out and reassemble. The end result is a pretty dumb looking poster. With a piece of graphite transfer paper between the canvas and my printed out drawing, I trace over all the key lines and bingo! my canvas is all ready to paint. By-the-way my printer prints everything in beautiful rose color when it starts to run out of ink.




































...and here I am hard at work.
