Working Hard

Figured i'd share a picture of me working hard in "the lab."

Edit: if you click on the pic, you can see some more paintings that were cropped out ;)

Nike Dunks

I have a Thing for sneakers. Love sneakers! Actually have a pretty nice stash of them going on in the corner of my bed room.



thats actually from last year and i haven't updated it.. there is about 5 more pairs to that pile, most of them are all still in boxes.
But anyway, this post is about Nike Dunks. They are classics and i felt they needed some quality art inspired by them so I did this 11x14 painting of them yesterday.



I think it turned out pretty well and I'm thinking about doing some other color schemes as well. If you have any suggestions, let me know. Maybe I can get some of these up on Etsy.

snooooooorlax

Did up some snorlax paintings a while ago. this one is up on my etsy account

I made one for my friend DJ for his birthday, doens't he looks so happy to have one?

first friday

Jeez, I need to get in the groove of posting again. I attended First friday in Philadelphia again, with Christine, my loving girlfriend. She runs a cute blog over at http://ckscribbles.blogspot.com. Though we didn't sell much, we still had a good time and met some awesome people. I think it was mostly because of July 4th weekend and everyone was at the beach.


I always have blast and always enjoy feedback from what other people would like to see (pokémon-wise) and what they think of the style in general. I also enjoy when people are confused by the pokémon and the servbots... seems like a lot of people don't play video games haha. I seem to get "I like those robots" or "lego men" all the time. PLAY SOME MEGAMAN LEGENDS AND MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2! These are some classics.

Then i thought to myself... I should do other videogames and animes that no one plays to it's even more obscure. Then my target audience would be even smaller, probably not the best idea...

Oh well. Speaking of needing to update things, i need to update my etsy account and put some new paintings up (and take one off because i sold it at 1st friday). so much work to do...

Friday again?!

going to be back in Philadelphia for First Friday to show off some paintings, maybe even sell a few again. I got a good response last time, you can tell who the video game nerds are but the quick glances at the mudkip and hearing people mutter under their breath "I heard like mudkips." Always puts a smile on my face.

I got a bunch more paintings painted up. Most are more Pokemon and a couple of servbots. I have a list of pokémon in my head just waiting to be made into stencils or maybe just painted up. Though i love the hole "pop art" look of my current work, i think i wanna try and make some silly hand painted pokés.

I have had this feeling lately that I don't have enough time and canvases to create all the ideas in my head... I also blame video games for not having enough time for art, but thats just bad excuses and me not being good with time management. WORK WORK WORK PAINT PAINT PAINT!!

PIKKKKkKKAAAAA!!!!

Got another painting up on etsy and it's everyone's favorite little rat! PIKACHU! this one if a bit different from the previous mudkip I have made, the pikachu stencil called for some different colors so i ended up using spray paint and acrylics together to get exactly what I was looking for! The end result is this awesome 11x14 painting.



see the full canvas at my etsy site

I've got a snorlax too but they sold out before I could get them up on etsy. First Friday was awesome and I just the reaction I was looking for, i feel like i should have came with more servebots and pokemon really... oh wait, you guys don't know about the servebots yet.... that will just have to be another post...

Some experimenting...

Been working on some ideas for painting a more collage style so I started trying to create some stuff in Photoshop for the idea I wanna go for. I always have so much fun doing this kinda stuff. I just want to keep adding and adding more stuff to it but I know I should stop haha. Here's a sample of what I've been messing around with.



Hopefully tomorrow will be nice in Philadelpha for First Friday. I'll be down there in Old City hanging out with some new paintings, so come check it out!!
