Lately i've been going through my old sketchbooks and picking out ideas and sketches that i've been wanting to do for a long time.

I'm finally getting around to them and i'm trying to convert my sketches into oil paintings that carry the same line character that i want from my sketches. :)

I hope i have many more to show soon, i've moved out to Austin TX, about 3 hours away from my home town. The job hunt has started... D:

The Boxer: commissioned painting

Sketches:

Work in Progress:

Finished Painting:

 

This commission was a lot of fun to get into. It was the first for the summer and i hadn't really touched paint for a while, since my Senior Thesis was mostly digital pieces. The portrait is the clients son and his boxing trainer.

i always like to take in progress photos especially for commission pieces. i should do it more often with my regular pieces too. :)

panels, litho and blood :)

The Natives, 

two paintings i did recently based on some sketches done a while back.

These went pretty smooth except for the feathered headdress one. It turned out a little more complicated than i had wanted.
The one on the right came out more natural, and feels more simple and elegant to me. :)

 

 

Distortion, 

one of my favorite lithograph prints i made last semester. A lot of experimentation with texture through masking fluid, solvent transfer and touche wash.

Fight Fight!,

a watercolor piece i made a while back. perfectly arranged violence :)

i'm offering up some medium size high quality prints i made of it recently.

i have a few projects i'm working on now and can't wait to be finished, so i can share them. 

thanks to all my watchers and friends :)
