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.

Who Wants To Live Forever?



The back ground was spray painted on a small vinyl record.
The actual stencil was hand painted with acrylic paint.
Afterwards the whole thing was sprayed with a gloss finish.

Now What?

The other day I found this drawing while cleaning my room.
I'm pretty sure I've posted a picture of it before, so it's nothing new.
Anyways, I'd forgotten all about it, so I decided to make it a little more
memorable.


I cut the drawing off of the notepad it was onI sprayed the drawing with a fixative spray.


I matted the drawing on white mat board.
I tried black mat board at first, but white
made the drawing pop a little more.


I had this plain black frame, that was a little too plain.
I decided to spray paint it a bit. At first I thought about
spraying it a different solid color, but then I just decided
to do some light sprays of yellow around the frame.

I think the spots effect worked pretty well.


After that I sprayed the frame with a gloss
finish, and put everything together.

The finish product came out pretty sweet I think.
I've never really thought about selling prints of any of my work,
but I think this might be the first one. I'll think about it.

Fly On The Wall





I need to get motivated and excited about painting again.
I'm starting small, and hopefully working my way up to
much larger paintings. This is a small water color painting
I did a few days ago.

Five Heads

I recently found some ceramic heads I did a few years ago.
I made them in a sculpture class I took. They were a bit dusty when I
found them, so I cleaned them up and sprayed them with a gloss finish.






I still think they look pretty cool, but maybe someone might find a
better use for them. I put them up on my Etsy page, so click HERE if
you are interested. Happy Monday!

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.

High School Dayz


Got in a bit of trouble for this one. Apparently it was a little too racy for a high school art class. Eventually it all worked out. This drawing was the start of my love with color pencils.

Before and After

Sometimes even when you think you're done with a painting, you look back at them and still feel they need more work. With this particular one, I knew the background needed more work. I also worked more on the soldier's uniform and sprayed the whole thing with a gloss finish.


The painting was done in acrylic paint, on a 40 x 30 size canvas.
I'd like to paint more cubism paintings. They look neat huh?

Back At It

I sold all the other Dylan stencils on my Etsy page, so I decided to make some more. However this time I wanted to make them a little bit different. The previous multi layered stencil I made turned out well, so I was riding the wave of inspiration. I decided to try it again on a smaller scale. I think they turned out pretty cool.




I hand painted the three layers on the face with acrylic paint. After I sprayed each stencil with a gloss finish. If you'd like one, I just put them up for sale on my Etsy page. Click Here!
