A few are in the works right now and this one is a commissioned piece I just got done with. I always love the challenge behind painting something for someone and the stress that follows as you hand it to them and pray they don’t absolutely hate it. (they loved it thank god!) And keep checking back I am motivated to start getting pieces done like before!

Enjoy!

Took a bit, but had to be happy with the drawing before you can start the painting

First few flowers

More and more

everything in place

Every piece I hate showing people before the outline comes in cause it changes it so drastically

Super dark but full outline in

Highlights come thru

Close up of the vines and flowers

The butterfly wing brought the piece all together

Close up on the face and body

So happy with the end result.  Now to the next piece!

But I got a job so I have been trying to do more small pieces so I can keep putting as many out as possible. This is a repaint of a piece from years ago. Seemed to be a favorite with a lot of people and I have been wanting to go back to it for a while now.  Small piece but I am super happy with how it turned out!

Enjoy!

This one is on an old skateboard deck. The piles are everywhere and I might as well recycle them into some art!

Enjoy!

The newest is a display piece painted on a drum. The first drum is a lot simpler, the second one(coming in a few days) is going to be a lot crazier. You might be able to play it but it might be a little safer to just hang it.

Enjoy!

Just had to post this cause the sides looked super clean with pure white sids and black hardware.

Something about trees that I’m always drawn back to, maybe its the mindless amount of tiny lines you have to put in. Anyways this is one of my favorite piece i’ve done recently(I know I say that about every piece when its done) but this one was different cause I actually got a chance to practice shading which I never do.  This ones already sold but I had so much fun with it anyone else interested in one i’d love to do more!  Also there is few pictures of the process of this one. Im not sure what cause it but the light affected it so much. The background color changes in every picture and the glare was always there. It took like 100 tries but the finished picture turned out perfect!

Enjoy!

Background color with light streaks

trunk

right side coming in, this piece was so weird because until the end it felt like it was so unbalanced with the amount of branches on each side

still super unbalanced

I have a horrible habit when I’m working on pieces like this with super fine lines, after I put in like 2 or 3 lines I lick the brush so the point is sharp again. By the end of 30 minutes of painting my mouth is always covered in black paint

All done! Shading was fun after I started to get the hang of it, and branch overlaps added so much to it. It looks good in the picture but cant even compare to it in person. So stoked

Such a change from cutting thin masonite to trying to get through seven layers of thin ply. Also the concave of the board gives it that cool bowed look. Another piece like it already started, I got plenty of boards to try and turn into art!
