huge update...all meat no potatoes

       Been a minute since the last post and I'm pretty busy at work so words are probably going to be few on this one. These are all 8x10's that I've done recently, with Dr. Martins and arches. I have been slacking lately big time with painting, been doing alot of custom work and working on a sketch / travel book of custom designs that I can do on the fly.

     heres a couple mandalas and some skulls. most of these were gifts to friends or trades for other paintings  Enjoy and thanks for looking.

what a mouthful. thats what she said. things have been busy as hell at the studio as of late and I havent had much time to do many paintings. Im still catching up on some scragglers (drawings I need to get done) to be completely caught up from my Sick Week of WTF. So here are two, and I feel like a bamma because I only have two to share but I like them both alot, it definitely feels like I was taking my time and not just banging them out. so heres an 8x10 I finished the other day , an old school rose junx like my giant stamp in the corner? i need to make a smaller one.  Im still working off the Strathmore watercolor paper, I have a whole pad of Arches I got for my birthday I havent even opened yet, Im whittling down my other paper and making sure Ive got a good hang of things before I break out the good stuff ;) and heres another 8x10 I finished last night who so blurry?

Heavy Heart Mandala Book Volume 1 - preview and sneak peeks

Image
    Heavy Heart Volume 1 (pink cover) the first is a mandala coloring book I released in June 2017. It took abut a year and a half to get the first one published. Beginning in January 2015, I started creating the majority of the designs back then. Many of which are influenced by stained glass, art nouveau patterns, sculpture and jewelry. Initially I wanted to publish a "how to" guide on making your own mandala - since all of the early designs were hand drawn, using a template I made.  I also had lots of ideas on exactly how I wanted the book designed; I wanted pages that were easy to tear out, thick paper that would hold up under watercolor and some other features.

watercolor tattoo flash style - 2 Deadly Sins show submissions

Image
This past month I have really surprised myself, cranking out a painting damn near every other day. Most of them are 4 x 6, I have a couple 5 x 7 and (as of right this moment) 3 8 x 10's. Watercolor makes for quick work, its much much fast than acrylic and I really enjoy it. I can finish something instead of walking away from it and taking a break, which I hate doing. The process is like tattooing in the sense that you have the rough draft, the outline, and fill in. It feels really natural too. I dig it. With the 7 Deadly Sins artshow coming up at the studio I didnt think I was going to have much to contribute. then came this...new thing I fell in love with. I hope its not a passing phase because I asked for another set of inks and some fancy 'spensive watercolor paper for my birthday. I have not painted in a couple days since I finished the Reaper , and I know I need to take a quick breather... but I have started another one, its laid out in pen and I started some of the bla
