creep

Here is a super creepy nightmare man with the cold stare of a soul swallower. Drawn with a micron pen, and painted with watercolors.

Obsidian Carvings

Here are a few obsidian carvings I did recently, using a dental quality hand drill. Obsidian, or as some folks call it, Apache tears, is volcanic black glass that looks opaque, but if you hold it up against a light, it's translucent in a most spectacular way. Not the easiest material to grind on, as it tends to chip, but the end results are worth it.

Bridge Boy

Here is the latest painting Ive done for my friend and coworker Maria. This is from a photo of one of her sons crossing a wooden bridge in Mexico. This is a 16" x 20" acrylic on canvas, and one of the more realistic paintings Ive done, as far as lighting goes. I think this is commission number five that Ive done for her, and I do not mind... hope to do a lot more. In fact, Im working on number six for her right now. Its a big watercolor of a burnt and stabbed winged woman floating in a storm over mud, skulls and flower petals...a fun one;) She has some crazy (but good) ideas.

The Shut-Eye Series

These odd and colorful watercolor paintings belong to a series I did a couple of months ago I called the Shut-Eye Series. Each one was drawn in about two minutes with a micron pen, and with my eyes completely shut. Then I would paint them (with my eyes open) with watercolor paints. I really loved doing these, and was surprised how much control I had on the drawing part, what with not looking and all. I would like to do another series of these, maybe one with animals, famous people, sailor's kneecaps or something like that.






Here are three of the pre-painted drawings, just to show you the ridiculousness I was giving myself to work with.
