"Would You Be My Girl?"

New Art Added to My Portfolio 6-2-14

I have neglected keeping my portfolio updated. Today I added three pieces I created in 2013. There’s more to come.

 

Milk and CookiesYou have seen “Milk and Cookies” in a previous post. It’s now officially added to my portfolio.

 

"Would You Be My Girl?"

This is a painting I made for my mother for her birthday last year. She isn’t going to get any more original art until she frames this haha. I was experimenting with Holbein’s acrylic/gouache hybrid line of paint: Acryla Gouache. It’s great paint. The title “Would You Be My Girl?” is something I feel this guy would say and it’s also from The Police song “Be My Girl”.

 

Flying Whales

This is one of my favorite pieces of art that I have created. It’s one of the biggest and most detailed drawings I have ever attempted. I prefer working small. This piece was in the 28th Annual West Michigan Regional (Art) Competition at LowellArts!.

 

Of course all of this artwork is for sale except “Would You Be My Girl?” (because I made it for my mother, duh). Contact me if you’d like to purchase art. “Milk and Cookies” and “Flying Whales” are both already framed.

Etsy!

EtsyPrints are now available on Etsy!

Spurred by the recent KCAD graduating senior exhibit this week I have decided to make prints available on Etsy! They are so inexpensive that even children can afford to purchase my prints! At the moment I don’t have a reliable way to ship prints larger than 14″ on the longest side so be on the lookout for bigger prints when I finally figure that out.

Tiny Painting: Psychotropic Cavern

Psychotropic Cavern

This image appears larger than the actual painting (unless you are viewing on a smart phone).

Here’s a tiny 3″ x 3″ painting that I’m calling “Psychotropic Cavern”. It’s acryla gouche and colored pencil on board. I created it for Jon Schindehette‘s tiny painting show at SFAL. If you go to Spectrum Fantastic Art Live, be sure to see his tiny painting show featuring over 200 tiny science fiction/fantasy pieces (and buy mine)! It certainly looks like a neon black light poster but sadly it doesn’t look that great under a black light. I’m now inspired to try to make a black light illustration now.

Brilliant Hallucination

Brilliant Hallucination

Not your average trip to the dentist’s office.

So here’s a digital painting that I’ve been meaning to post to my blog. The concept for which I had to make an illustration was the random pairing of words: “brilliant hallucination”. I made a mind map and determined the subject matter/color scheme. I’ll post some WIP images eventually.

If you like this painting you can purchase prints and more over at Society6! TODAY ONLY they have FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING and $5 off each item.

Acrylic Skull Sketch on Wax Paper

Acrylic Skull 4x5A while ago I was messing around with painting on trading cards. When I was done experimenting I had some leftover acrylic paint and I thought it’d be fun to mess around on some wax paper (I had wax paper underneath the trading cards so I wouldn’t paint on the table). I should have scanned the other side of the sketch too because you can see the pen drawing. This sketch is about 4″x5″.

Remember, pretty much all of my art is for sale, even stuff like this! If you are interested in purchasing my artwork please contact me!
