Painting!

Theses are a few pieces i painted for some family and friends this christmass.

NEW Paintings!

So iv been working for a while and haven't been doing a lot of personal work but here are some paintings iv done recently. the other three followed close behindthis is a shitty picture of the bottom of my new skate board, its the first acrylic painting iv done in almost years.

I took a picture of a girl with a huge dry cleaning bag hanging in front of her on the subway about a year ago, and it just sat on my phone for a while untell last month when i finally got around to painting this... i kinda wanted to do a set of limited color paintings with subway themes, but iv lost interest... so moving on.
and these are two of three 4x4inch paintings of blocks. iv been playing around allot with lighting and trying to get nice smooth gradients which is kind of a bitch with acrylic but its nice when it works. I'm liking doing small paintings mostly because i don't have the patients to do larger ones... and when i do i care to much about them. but who knows...

Infinite for illustration friday

a fun little piece i did in a few hours for illustration Friday. didn't really have time to finish it 100% but thats ok. its the first piece iv digitally painted in a while, lately iv been doing alot of flat color....likely due to laziness

Hobo Claus

drew this santa looking homeless guy on the train and liked it so i did some quick color.

Tetsuo vs Kaneda

Iv been trying to work faster and more graphic and this hit a lot mile stones for me. the whole thing took a little over 3 hours (after i worked out a few thumbnails) this is also the first thing iv hand inked in a long while so it worked out to be a lot of fun.

more color studies from my sketch book

Gunslinger

i drew this when i was reading a lot of dark tower and now finally got around to coloring it.

coffee stain

X23

I'm trying to take a step toward thinking about what makes a good image instead of fixating on portraying reality. i like the silhouette in the black floor but dont know if it really works. what do you like more? a little critique would help, thanks

x-men

the scarlet witch and cable i did for a sketch group at work. i didn't have a lot of time to color so its pretty bare bones.

blasting out illustrations

these are a series of illustrations i recently entered in an art contest to be published in some Canadian educational magazine and get a bounty of change... lets hope i win.

class

I started this last September and did most of the work then... then i didn't touch it for four months, which brings us to now and 20min of work later its dunzo.

Hammerspace

this is a composition i did for gaffneys class last year. its the characters from the pitch book im working on and its finally colored.

Fetch doggy!

This is an illustration i worked way to long at. Its kind of an experiment with textures and some random combinations of effects.

Finally!

i finaly painted something complete... with backgrounds and everything!

alien...mutant...beast...creature...thing

New Illustration

This year, instead of trying to be prolific in sketches im trying to put out the best work i can. im also trying to think more conceptually apposed to the usual stagnant character standing alone. This is the rough of a piece im hashing out.
