High School Dayz

This is just part of a painting I never really got to finish.
It's hard to see some of the detail in the brush work.
It was done in water color, when I was like 17. I've gotten a little better at
water color since then, so I might revisit this painting some time.

Vinyl Fever Part II

These past few days I've been spray painting some of the records I bought. I haven't made an actual stencil for them yet, but I have some ideas. I started to spray paint the backgrounds.

For this one, I glued together four records.
It's similar to a stencil I did last month. (The Boy and His Guitar)

I really liked the way this one came out. I did the same the
same thing to it as the one on top. Except with this one, I
used smaller records instead of the bigger ones.

I had an extra small one laying around, so I decided to paint that too.

You can see the difference in size much better here.
There is still some spraying techniques I want to try out.
I need to buy more colors, and try them out soon.

The Disection Of A Plant and The Infinite Space

I just added the abstract paintings me and Daniel painted to my Etsy page.

We have two more canvases like these, so we may paint some more.

Thrift Store Findings

If you have ever tried to frame a big drawing before, you know how expensive it can be. The cheapest way to go, is to hunt one down at a thrift store. I found this big one recently,which was only 7 dollars, so I got it. The color of the frame was really ugly,
but that's why spray paint was invented.

After I took it apart, I sprayed painted the frames black.
It's simple, and in my opinion, the best way to go.

While the frame was drying, I finished the background of this family portrait I was doing.
I couldn't decide on what to do with it. At first I tried to paint it a solid color, but it just didn't look right. I then came up with this design that ended up looking a little chaotic, which I thought was appropriate.

Then, I added the border that came with the drawing inside the frame.
I had to cut it to make it fit. I guess you don't always have to add a border when you frame something, but I like the finish look it has.

After the frame dried I put everything together. The drawing was done primarily with water color on thick water color paper. However each face is done with color pencil. This was a present for a family I know pretty well.

This Is Meaningless But It's How The Cool Kids Do It

It started out as a present for a friend's birthday. I didn't know what to paint, which happens more often than not. After a while I just started to splash paint onto the canvas. I started to paint random objects and worked out a composition. I started to think about people who paint random things together without any thought or without it meaning anything. The only real reason they do it is because they think it looks cool. This became more of a satire, and the accidental start of the endless series.
