Some recent works. I don’t scan stuff very often, so I’ll probably end up posting stuff in batches. The cheetah is approx. 7x11in and painted with watercolor. The jaguar and the ocelot are both 7x7in and painted in acrylic.

I keep trying to paint something meaningful but all that comes out lately is creepy animals.

Want to see more like this? Let me know. I have a bunch I could share if there is an interest.

Acrylic speedpaint in a Moleskine sketchbook, using only a large-ish brush bringing focus to texture and brushstrokes and less to detail. Subject is a Sphynx (hairless cat). I’ve always been fascinated by them, and I admit I sketch them from time to time.

Conceptual speed paint of my alter ego. Something I’d someday like to revisit in large-format acrylic when I have the time. Inspired greatly by the works of James Jean, an artist who has honestly shaped my current style in many ways. His recent studies of drips really called out to me, especially because my persona is made of molten earth. How could I resist working out a rendition of my own?

PS: O hi tumblr.

Acrylic and gesso on 11x14 stretched cotton canvas.

First attempt at making something FREE DEE. Just a couple hours of fudging around in Sculptris. Not even sure if it’s worthy of posting here, but I have a feeling I’ll be doing some more 3D models in the future… but it might be amusing to look back as I get better at it and gawk at how terrible this one is.

More drip studies. These few are inspired by an illustration by Nivbed (that does not appear to be on his website any longer… ho hum). I apologize if this is getting repetitive, but there may be a few more to follow.

(Also, I REALLY need to practice drawing flora, holy crap.)
