zombie greaser

Been in a bit of a creative rut lately. Been working on some commissions and been doing work for work. Ended up in the hospital last week. So good at taking care of myself.

This is entirely from my brain. I didn't know he'd become covered in blood but.. i had a lot of lovely looking Cadmium Light Red to use and eh... it happened.

No photo reference. Couple hours, most of those hours spent watching Inception.

Acrylic in moleskine.

a man, me, and some viscera

Hey y'all. Happy week ten to all my fellow quarter sufferers.

Top piece is a quick 45 minute acrylic scribble of a bloodstained afghanistani soldier photogged by the amazing Steve McCurry, who I'm obsessed with.

Then... Me with Pirate, my fav horse. Then... dead me with my demon horse. yayyy.

And finally...

PICK UP A REPORTER MAGAZINE THIS FRIDAY. Because.

The AMAZING Joi Ong and I collaborated for the cover/feature, about the body falling apart due to stress.

She took beautiful photos of Gabi Ripka, and then I drew horrible things over the pictures.

After it's published, I'll post full photos, but here's some super pixellated teasers for now.

EDIT- added another quick 40 minute acrylic painting. a girl! from herat, afghanistan, original photo taken by steve mccurry in 1992.

I'm getting more and more painterly/stroke-y... i think i like it.
