Libra Redone

Clients aren't happy with my work this week ):
I had to re do this too, and I'm much much happier with it.
I'm juggling too many jobs :/

Goodbye Summer

I'm still without internet, but that is being fixed today. Heres all the work I've been doing... Libra Tattoo design for a client. I colored it just for the hell of it. I wanted it to look reminiscent an art nouveau style wine label. I scanned this hot dude from my anatomy book to work out placement. I like the top right... that would be awesome. I think my client is doing it small on his shoulder though like the top left.

Painting commission from a couple who saw my show in London. They didn't like it though... and really wanted something closer to the original piece. The really shitty photo probably didn't help. Failure on my part : However I personally really like the painting. Working out details with them now. (Original digital composure at the bottom).

Personal piece I'm working on called "Breast Feeder". Process and work in progress pictures. My camera sucks for artwork, pictures come out WAY darker and yellowed. Don't ask about "KING", I wanted to try using type, but screw it, I think its way more powerful to communicate without words. I think text in artwork defeats the purpose of the artwork, but thats just my personal opinion. I'm sure there are artists who could pull it off wonderfully, but none are coming to mind. I need to lighten the deer and the overall piece in general.

This drawing was found in my folder of handmade paper, so I decided to do something with it. Its a drawing a vellum, colored pencils on the back and matte mediumed to paper I made at Pratt a few years ago. It warped, so its sitting under books until it flattens and I can finish it. This image is half digital, messing around with it until I figure out what exactly to do.

SUPERMONSTER

I forgot to pay my internet. Well, I didn't "forget" exactly. I didn't put my name on my mail box so I haven't gotten any bills. I don't remember the company I used so I'll just have to wait for a new bill. I'm going upstate to photograph some work, so I'll be out of the studio for a few days.

Here is this all finished and some mock ups. Needs to be centered better, but just a rough low res file...

Toronto Show and CD cover

The Kids Are Alright show opens August 14th. So my work didn't miss the opening. If anyone is going to be in Toronto this next month, go check it out. The pieces from the last post are in that show. All the artists did two pieces on 16"x16" wood panels. If I wasn't so broke, this is the one show I wanted to see, I bet it will look awesome all put together.

Finally feeling better, got to get back to my work so I can pay my rent D:
Here is a CD cover I'm working on.



30% colored. Band is called Supermonster.

Painted

I had to send these out not finished, and I'm incredibly upset about it. They aren't even going to make it there until after the opening, whats the point now? I couldn't even take a good picture. I'm still really sick, and I feel like I'm dyeing.
