Acrylic Painting

An acrylic painting that I finished about six months ago but never was able to get a good picture of it until now. It is 18x24 on self-stretched canvas.

Increidlby Over-Due Art Update: Negură Bunget, T-Shirts, Logo, etc.

HI!

I'm sorry for the tremendous delay in my posting. Here are some projects that I have completed recently.

Firstly, a logo design for my artistic services which is now at home on the top of this blog. If you wish, there are t-shirts available with the logo on them. They are $20 each (plus shipping and handling). Please email me with the sizes you wish to purchase.

I recently acquired the opportunity to design a T-shirt for one of my favorite bands, Negură Bunget. The Romanian spiritual mettalers contacted me through Code 666 in February and I was more than happy to complete the work. The designs are below:







This shirt is available for purchase here:

Aural Music Store

And packaged with their 2006 release OM here:

I also recently completed a T-shirt design for a group known as the "Prib Crib".







A digital illustration I completed for the challenge prompt "Loss of Innocence"



Take Care!

Practice Album Cover

Hi,

Here's an album cover for a fake band, named after a club that used to be at my school, that I made for practice. I also mocked up a quick case layout. A T-Shirt design will be next.

Martin Mendez

Hi,

I got a new Sumi-E brush from China Town and I really wanted to just do... something with it. I wanted to draw a portrait so I decided who better to ink than one of my favorite musicians and possibly the greatest inspiration for me to start playing bass - Martin Mendez.
It's black ink, and very diluted white paint (Windsor and Newton). All of the textures are hand made/painted, they're not photo over lays. The scan really makes it look bad, it looks much better in real life.

Familly Tree

This was an assignment for school. Sorry about the blurred parts but It's far too personal to show on the internet.

Vegetable Man


I did this just for fun/practice. It's was the third photo-manipulation illustration I've ever done. I rarely do any of these, but they're very fun to do and in my opinion, cool looking so I'll probably do more in the future.

Enjoy!

p.s. just so I don't get in trouble. The photo of the graveyard was taken by http://www.maddiedigital.co.uk/ . The other photographs used were taken off of the web... I didn't get any permission to use them but I'm not planing on making any money off of this image so I hope it's OK.
