Painter's Progress (Stage 1)

I haven't posted any kind of process shots yet, so here's a quickie mobile shot of the beginning of a new painting:


In other news I'm going to buckle down and do my damnedest to keep up with Illustration Friday, let's see if the schedule permits!

Pigment

Accidental art.

Ch-ch-ch-changes

I've been dropping the ball when it comes to posting new work lately but for good reason: we're moving into a new house next month with room for full studio space, so I've been gearing up for the move and have had to pack away most of the completed stuff. Rest assured I've been slapping plenty of pigment down.

Once we're done with the move, expect a full website to be in the works!

Uncle Zombie

A family portrait.

Coming in from the storm

New work is forthcoming; gird some loins!

PEM kabuki poster

The Nightlife Is For You

Tom Waits

The back-alley god with the chainsaw throat.



I'd like to work more with caricature; this is a decent likeness all things considered, but I really want to work on straight up portraiture without going too far into abstraction. I'm probably going to try another one in paint, to get the gritty feel of his persona nailed down.

I also really want a skyscraper hat.

[edit]: I made a bunch of improvements on the original, and am much happier with it now. Horray!

Jalopy Dance

So the very fine people at MadAtoms.com have used my drunk-driving skeleton illustration on the relaunch of their new website.

Help me thank 'em by checking out their hilariously colorful jibberings.

Bill O'Reilly will eat your face!

This was a quick caricature experiment from last year that I thought I might include here:



Bulging head-veins are really fun to paint.
