Summer

So this was a quick one I did to make some people smile.

Went to a few great concerts this summer and these lovely people were among my companions.

Jojo, her brother Jason (who has me in a headlock) and the ever exuberant Paola. And you can see my friend David freaking out because his gf got kicked in the face by a crowdsurfer too.

Ah, summer.

On to fall!!!!!

Nightmare landscape

So I get migraines 2, 3 times a week anymore. Got one today. Took a new medicine for it (prescribed) and... had hallucinations, screamed at nothing, was terrified of the floor, among other things.

Horrible as it was, some of the hallucinations were totally crazy.

And this was one of them. I said, in delirium, "I GOTTA PAINT THAT" and i went to sketch it down but discovered my arms weighed 300 pounds each and I couldn't move. Well, I'll certainly never do drugs. I'd do more tonight but I still feel rather dodgy.

1 hour so far.

Suggestions/help VERY welcome.

Jeep!

I come from a town near Toledo, Ohio, which happens to be the home of the Jeep.

Saw this scruffy smiley on the back of an SUV tonight and went... Hm. Wonder what the human version would look like.

So... I used chris pine for reference (obviously.) and had a fun little 2 hour paint study.

Broke out some new photoshop brushes. Up till now I've only ever used the round brush. So... I'm gonna keep experimenting!!!

Glimmer of hope start

I watched "there will be blood" for the first time yesterday with a friend who loves cinematography and symbolism as much if not more than me. and was inspired by the ever so sexy daniel day lewis.

I have a friend moving across the country to a place he's never been. He's all gloomy. Well, he shouldn't be. It's gonna be alright.

Lots of us are moving onto our next stage or a new year.

Or all this is sappy b.s. and i just really like moustaches.

I'll get back to work on the fiery voodoo lady in a bit, I just needed something a little less... intense for a couple days.

just started this.

thank yew, j.g. and j.g. both these guys have made me feel like this sweeper guy in their own ways... there's blue sky (there will be when i colour it i swear!) and all's gonna be well.

Zombie lady gets backround. Needs work. nh

Aaand it's 2:30 something a.m. and I'm finally getting around to painting some more.

yeahh yeahh, there's my demon horse silhouetted in there. Yep.

Lot more work to do.

Suggestions, help, etc. would be great. Landscapes are most definitely NOT my strong point.

I tried to bring a bit of the fiery colours into her complexion (it was very neutral/putty like before) without making her TOO alive looking... Eh, I'll probably just throw in more blood and gore.
