Tardar Sauce: an homage.

This years "cat show" is right around the corner. Here's my submission. Oh, how I love Tard!

Recent shows!

Last night was the Heroes and Villains show at the Record Archive. Had a ton of fun with the Dudes Night Out crew and made some waves with the Rochester public. We were well received. As far as first shows go it went really really well. Thanks to all who came out. Especially my family!

Also here are the pics from Boys Vs. Girls!

And lastly, I took some pics of some older work that I could seem to find images of. Better safe than sorry!

Godzilla and Ghidorah

Here are the pieces that were accepted in the Cinemonstrum show with 1975. The show was awesome and I wanted to thank everyone who came out. Thanks you cool cats!


Godzilla


King Ghidorah

On a side note I sold the King Ghidorah painting. SO HAPPY!

Few more things in the works.

So over the past few weeks I've been working, painting, drawing, living life, and watching Les Claypool at Mountain Jam in Hunter NY with my sweet Gf. But in most recent events I painted the figure below for Dad's Day! I wonder how long I can get away with giving away robot paintings as gifts?

Here we have a new addition to the ranks: Unoculus. The stalwart defender.


A better picture of Pugnacieus. Cropped for your viewing pleasure.


My boss commissioned me to do a portrait of his chittlins'. So I did.

Thanks to all and a happy Mom's day!

So I want to thank all of you who came out to my show! It went very well and I was thrilled at the turn out.

For Mother's Day I made this for fun little painting for my mom. Cause I love her. His name is Pugnaiceous.

Preview...

So my show is officially going to be up at the Orange Glory on April 23rd! Mailers have been ordered and here is the image they will show! More to come.

Done.

My sweet godson Wyatt bending spoons with his mutant mind.

Beginning to meaningful ends.

So here are some of the things I have been working on. Also consider this my official statement that I have a one man show coming up in April (no official date yet) at the Orange Glory next door to the Little.

This is my godson Wyatt and his mother Jennie. I'm pretty sure Wyatt is actually a mutant. A wonderful mutant.




This here is a robot I am working on for a painting.


The following drawings and respective sculptures are just me warming up for some serious work.

More spike frog!

I scanned the frog in and will be adding the text later. More updates on the way!

Spike-backed Ice Frog, Painted Edition.

So I am working on a leave behind. I decided to give a practice run through with my ol' stand by the spike-backed ice frog.

Here's the preliminary sketch. I dropped the text out of it. Didn't do a good enough job.


The first time. Bit-O-Failure....


The second time.

Trials & Trilobites...

Here are I with some more work. Did both of these in one night. Around 4AM painting gets really, really hard. See you all later.

I feel like I've been slimed.

Hello Blog. I am tired, but I feel accomplished. I think I can call this done. Also I think I can call this "Home Run Fowl".



Just so it is clear, I have been modeling this series on Phil Hale. Clearly the image below is property of Phil Hale and not me along with all the legal jazz. Seriously check out his link if you're unfamiliar with him.


I am going to flippin' bed.

One toe over the finish line.

Hello Blog. I am so close to being done I am willing to ignore the cadmium poisoning. Just gotta nail that duck, then, terminado! But for now no. Halloween party time!!!!

So I've been playing with your skin.

So Blog, here are some shots of what I did today...

Beginning of the day.



Full on shot.



Rippling.



Zee' hands.


In retrospect it feels much more impressive than it looks. Now it's time to flesh out the piece in it's entirety. But first comes sleep.

Also a shout out. HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE. Trick all those who dare ruin your festivities.

ciao Blog.

Twice in one day!

So I am back. I was too excited about the painting I am working on to not put up a pic. All the people featured in the duck fighting paintings are close friends of mine. This is Rob. He's a machine, a sexy sassy machine. Give it a look.

Full on.



Detail close up.


Until later, ciao.

Practice, pushes you on.

Hello Blog. I did a series of 3 paintings for my Illustration as a Journalist. I have been looking at Ashley Wood for inspiration. As is clear from his posts, his paintings are all about brush strokes and letting the paint do it's thing on the surface. I kind of love his work.

On a side note the hockey painting, from my previous post, is the first in the second series I have to do.

The following paintings are from references I took of a kid's karate class.

Demonstrating



Teaching



Success


I felt pretty good about these at the time of completion but now see some problems I have to address. First off working larger is helping me simply apply paint (the hockey painting is 2x2) and taking better photo reference by using a camera borrowed from RIT. Small things like that are making big differences. From there I know that I have some color issues to figure out.

ciao Blog.
