Watercolor, Studio, Canvas

So for my upcoming solo show Sweet Tooth, I decided to try to do some newer work on canvas, it felt odd prepping a new one after a little over a year of not touching canvas since switching over to wood. I'll make sure to post progress shots as well...I also added a few pics of some graphite and acrylic pieces I have been working for another solo in December...planning on keeping this show smaller and not as crazy, also just redid my studio as well.. I bought a small "art cart" so that my paints are on the right of me versus to my left and now I'm sitting lower and closer to my easel.. haven't tried it but I'm thinking this should be a lot more comfortable to work with.

Rejected Christmas Dunny

I was asked by Kid robot to submit a couple of designs for there upcoming series (I submitted 3 those got rejected as well haha) afterward I remembered that I mocked up a Christmas dunny so I decided to send that to them as well along with a chase (come on now a kinky ass Mrs. Claws with a martini glass? you know they get down over at the north pole).. no go but maybe next time.. still stoked though that Kid Robot gave me this opportunity

Random:

Found this online and figured since I got a kick out of it, maybe you would to. On a side note, everything for Fl is set, Pink Ghost received all my paintings in one piece haha nice!

Male-dusa Sneak Peak

Akus Gallery @ ECSU

so about two month ago I was contacted by the gallery director for Akus Gallery at Eastern Connecticut University.. I didn't know what to expect, but we set up a meeting, she came over to the studio and we got down to business.. She loved my work and ask me to do a solo exhibit. I said HELL YEAH! (I actually said Yes I will haha) then she says its 1350 sq. ft. hahah I'm like wow? so I'll make sure to go all out. Figures, paintings, sketches, murals you name I'm gonna slave over this show! and I present you the pics so you can get a feel of what I am to conquer.. good times for sure! I'll make sure to post progress shots but it won't be anytime soon the show is January 28th of 2010. after my July show it's nothing but this for the next 6 months.

9-5 GRIND

This is how I get down M-F from 9-5.. Making liquor store signs... and yes I get tons of free beer! good thing I don't drink or I would be a mess hahah

Forest Sicklings

Here are the Forest Sickling I was working on this weekend..I still need to perfect this whole sculpey thing.. I'm super new to it, but in time I should.. They are already up in the shop, but won't be availble to later this week.. I'm definitely a fan of customizing smaller figures versus the bigger ones (I did an 8" dunny last week)...Be on the look out for a drop date on these coming soon. enjoy the pics!
