Here is another unplanned, exploratory painting. What do you think it means?

Heart and Soul Process Video

I had a lot of fun making this video, you will see that I went a little overboard on the “title sequence.” I am totally digging my new camera (Canon Rebel T1i), and this was a good project to learn the features. I recommend watching the large HD version here.

I just finished this painting. It’s kind of got a Zombie Virgin Mary on Bad Acid vibe. I really pushed myself to gore this up, and will continue to do so in the future. I took a lot of pictures during the process of painting this thing, and I plan to make another process video in the next couple of days. I’m going to bed now.

I finally got a good shot of this big painting. You can see a bigger picture in the “Paintings” gallery. I am almost finished with another piece I will be throwing up here soon so check back.

Painting Process Video #1

I put together this quick little video so you can see how this painting came together, and how I have been working lately. Usually I would sketch and do value studies for a painting before I put any paint down, but lately I have been just going for it. I think the results have been interesting and I hope you like it, too. This is my first time using iMovie so I’m sure these videos will improve as I figure things out with the program. Also, I finally ordered a nice little Canon Rebel Digital SLR so the quality and frequency of pictures in the blog should increase.

Won’t Get Fooled Again

I painted this for my friend Brianna because she just graduated Vet school at UC Davis and I am proud of her. Maybe one day this will creep out the customers of her very own clinic… I am also working on a progress video for this painting. I took some photos while I was working on it and am assembling them all in iMovie. You will be able to see the sporadic nature of these paintings as they come together.

Enjoy the Mutant Landscape

Here is a little sneak peek of a couple of new things I will be showing at the my art show this Saturday. Be ready to enjoy yourself and those around you! We will be at the Chee Chee Club from 8pm-close. A good time is almost certain.

Goblins & Mystics & Skeksis, Oh My!

I can watch The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth over and over because the design in those movies is so damn good. The man responsible for this is of course Brian Froud, and I find myself sketching the characters he creates from time to time.

I did a take on a scene from the Labyrinth where the goblins are in Jennifer Connelly’s character’s closet waiting for her to say the precise words needed to damn her little brother into slavery or whatever other terrible fate the Goblin King has in store for him.

I always wanted to make a print of that image so when I had the opportunity to participate in the “These are the Quotes from Our Favorite 80s Movies” group print show, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to do just that. The opening reception for this show will be Friday May 15th in conjunction with Salt Lake City’s monthly “gallery stroll” from 6 – 9 pm. at Signed & Numbered Gallery in Salt Lake City. 30 artists were asked to create a print based on a quote from an 80′s movie. I call this print “She’s Going To Say The Words.”

You can purchase this print here.
