Fish and Leaving For Boston

Hey everyone!

   Well in 2 days I am leaving for Boston to work on the next greatest zombie game! For those of you who don't know, I have been working on this project for the past few months and in two days now... I'm flying out to test it and see my art work printed out! I'm really excited! You can see some of the art work I have created for this project on my facebook! Check that shiz out!

   I know my last painting "Monday" involved a woman, lipstick, and fish. I have decided to create a series of 7 paintings now regarding women, lipstick and fish. Below you will find my second painting again entitled, "Monday" which portrays the same subject matter in a different setting. I'm excited to get these 7 paintings done... 5 to go!

  Here is the process of how this painting came to life... I took a break every once in a while and captured an image of it.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3 (Final) "Monday" 12x12

   Here you can see my process! Woman, lipstick, and fish. This may seem silly, but in each painting there is a hidden word... it's fun to hide things! Ha! See if you can find the hidden word in both this painting and my previous one! (The image may be to small to find the hidden word on this site, but on my FACEBOOK they are the perfect size) They aren't hard to find... I made it easy! :)

   Remember in a few weeks my paintings will be available to purchase in print form on the highest quality paper (Somerset) with archival ink in the form of Glicee Prints! I'm really excited to get this going, once I'm back from Boston I am also planning doing more traditional oil paintings. I'm happy, what else can I say? :)

Have a great day!

Mondays and Smells

   So since this is my first post, I guess I should try and explain the point of this blog. With every new painting I create, I will create a blog that goes along with it. I will unload my thoughts regarding the painting, my day, and what it is I'm trying to do. I hope you enjoy!

Title: Monday
Date: 8-29-11

   This painting took about 3 hours time. I did it late last night while listening to the newest Deftones record, "Diamond Eyes." I really love that record and I believe it DEFINITELY helped me along with this woman, lipstick, and fish. I hope you get something out of this painting. I don't want to just spell everything out regarding this picture. Take it for what it is, I think it's pretty obvious. 

   From now on I will post the stages of my paintings from beginning to end so you can get a better idea of my process. In the near future I will also make prints of all my paintings available to purchase! I just want people to find pleasure in my art, that is my goal! 

Thanks!
