Autocons, Hyper-Realistic H2o & SKULLS!

 

Spring has arrived and it no longer hurts to go outside!!! Bugs, catkins, sprouts… my inner dirtbag can’t wait to get into the garden! Spring cleaning got out of hand again this year, all I planned to do was vacuum and it turned in to a basement reno… but I do love me a good project! The frustration, the injuries, the expense, the swearing (tee hee) =D Of course I can never forsake my painting time, here’s the latest:

*NEW PAINTINGS*

 

Haven’t had much time to sketch out/refine anything from my own imagination cuz, ya know, projects- so I did another piece of fan art! This time, Transformers!

 

“Deceptibots”

Acrylic on Canvas

11x14

***

 

Another quickie painting from the fun & easy department! I adore the style of hyper-realism and am in awe of the artists who have mastered it. Decided to give it a try…

 

“Splat” 

Acrylic on Canvas

5x7

$50

 

***

 

Had some fun playing with these! The original image is my usual acrylic on canvas but I decided to do some digital edits and change the colors. I wish you could “undo” as easily in real life!

8x10 Prints of all 3 versions are available, 

$20 makes one yours or you can snatch up all 3 for $50!

Nuclear S’mores, Hasty Raven & ...Welding?!?

Commission projects have kept me super busy behind the scenes so I haven’t had much to share publicly… nicer weather has also meant more projects can start happening outside so YAY variety! This past weekend I got to play electrician, plumber and welder! *adds all these things to resume* =D 

 

*NEW PAINTINGS*

 

When I’ve spent a lot of time on complex pieces or lots of fine detail it’s nice to give my eyes and my brain a break! This raven was intended to be a very quick, loose “let’s see what happens” kind of piece. The most important part of this exercise is the fun factor… Art: If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong. And it worked! It was fun, easy and I was happy with how it turned out =)

 

“Perched And Sat And Nothing More”

  

Acrylic on Canvas

11x14

$150

 

I saw a monster of a raven perched on a fence post recently, he looked big, ruffled and menacing! I want to paint him but fear I won’t be able to do him justice… can’t find a reference photo that even comes close to comparing to his level of badass. We’ll see what happens…

Another addition to what is turning into an ongoing series… Stay Puft from the Ghostbusters with a proton stream outline.

 

“The Destructor” 

Acrylic on Embossed Brick Hardboard

19x24

SOLD!

 

On a totally unrelated note- This was a nice change of pace… oh, how I've missed the smell of sparks! A custom hatchet with 20oz folded steel head and iron pipe handle. 7 inches long weighing in at 2lbs. Cut, welded, grinded down, contoured, then played with surface patterning and tempering =)
