Max

2011-09-05T13:23:00.000-07:00

So - here's the first layer of color for Max. Cats are harder to paint than they look. Furry bastages. Kidding...kind of...

Riley 90%

Riley Update

2011-09-04T10:32:00.000-07:00

Base for Riley's incredibly pale porcelain skin. The dark undertones will barely show this much in the end but I had to get it there to smooth out my colors. I'd like to move forward but I've learned from other paintings that I shouldn't do the hair until ALL the rest of the person is done.

A rose by any other name...

Ok - this is not a good project until the doc prescribes some kosher drugs for the arthritis. I made this as a thank you to one of my co-workers, hope she likes it.

Oh, for the first time I've added the leaves. That was a bitch!

TARDIS

2011-04-20T12:50:00.000-07:00

Once I get my hands on a color printer I'm making a slew of these.

Boo is done!

2011-02-02T11:11:00.001-08:00

Here is the Syra progress - her coloring for some reason is giving me a hard time. I know in the end she'll be great, right now, I curse my paintbrush!

Syra Update

2011-01-23T12:16:00.000-08:00

I got ahead of myself. I began to feel rambunctious, so I started in on Syra's coloring. Found out soon how much of a no-no that was. I'm much happier with my mountains though. Time for another week of 'dry time'.

slow progress on Boo

2011-01-23T10:36:00.001-08:00

Picked thePaintbrush back up

Finished Hank and Emma

2010-10-27T06:50:00.001-07:00

The proud owner was finally able to send me a framed completed shot of Hank and Emma. (Do NOT ask me why I forgot to take one, I am a meathead)

Along with 3 others

2010-10-14T08:34:00.001-07:00

here is the next subject of the painting I'll be working on the next couple of months. She's the little sister to an earlier piece titled 'Peyton'. This is 'Riley'

This is MAX -

I'll be working on him at the same time (he HAS to be done by Janurary. Gosh I hate deadlines....lol)

Tattoo

2009-10-30T06:48:00.001-07:00

This is the tattoo I designed for my friend Sarah. This was her dog Waka. I think it's odd seeing my art work permanently inked on someones body, but it makes me feel awesome at the same time.

Syra and Boo

2009-09-27T15:11:00.000-07:00

These are the beginnigns of my next two commissioned pieces.

Ellie

2009-09-27T15:09:00.000-07:00

I did NOT draw this. It was given to me, but I really wanted to share it here. I'm getting it porffessionally framed in a couple weeks.

Self Portrait 1997

2009-09-26T06:42:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite pieces I have EVER done.

Precurser to another

2009-09-26T06:41:00.000-07:00

Long story short - precurser painting. I did three total. Amongst moves, two got destroyed, thrown out, or something. A friend has the third and I will get a pic from her to show how awesome it came out.

2009-09-26T06:39:00.000-07:00
