two paintings and a monster doodle.

here's a portrait of the beautiful Kyrie Chamberlain. She painted me in a valentine, and I said I'd paint her too. Acrylic, hour and a half.


and this is a BMW bike I painted on a bday card for my boyfriend. watercolour, pen/ink...

i'm still kinda crap at painting vehicles but slowly, i'm getting better.


I think this little guy is going to show up in the near future.... ;)

In other news, I'm hoping to throw together a show in our studio for First Friday in April, a lot like last year's Gun Show. More details to come.

staayyy tuned!

Norton

I am determined to paint inanimate objects (read: vehicles) correctly. In fact, i kinda had the human as an afterthought. She's def not my best scribbled character haha

But, Norton twin motorcycle. Original reference pic had a big burly guy on it.

acrylic, hour and a half??

sunday scribblings

slumpy triumph enthusiast and a russian convict and lee van cleef.

truth. though i'm actually not having this problem at the moment, thank god.

New sketchbook, new cover. The spine says "I thought you were the"... lyrics by broken social scene.
scribble of a british Rocker gang member... exercise where I didn't look at the page until I was finished. Sort of scribbly and off but a lot of fun.

honda 350s and horse teeth

so a couple months back, my friend Jocelyn and I went for a sunset ride out at Liberty Stables. Deb had a surprise for us- she had her friend Lily, a large animal vet, in to remove a rotting tooth. The horse in question, Paris, is 26 years old and probably won't be around much longer. It was surprisingly emotional, rather gory, and a lot of muscle. We hammered away at that tooth with a drill, the whole while with Paris in a crazy sort of mouth brace and heavily sedated.

Deb asked me to paint a scene from it, so I picked a less gory bit where she was merely smacking away at the tooth with a metal rod.

acrylic, about an hour and a half.

Two days ago I was driving back downtown when I saw the LANKIEST guy in the world riding this little Honda 350. He just simply did not fit. He had his helmet strapped over a baseball cap, little wireframe glasses, big fuck off work boots, and his little ratty ponytail and plaid overshirt blowin' in the breeze. When I got up close enough to see him I just about drove off the road laughing.
So when I made it to my studio, I just had to have a little doodle over it.
Oh, and there's a sneak peek of what I painted for my mum's bday behind it there... I'll post that once she actually gets it.

acrylic, twenty minutes.

rockers

uh, wannabe retro couple in this awesome book i found. It's just loads of pictures of modern day greasers in Britain and their sexy bikes.

bass player from aforementioned book.


seven self portraits, doodle in sharpie at top speed. I own all those clothes. except the shirt the shooting herself jo is wearing.
from that book again... a rather quickly scribbled guy and his inaccurately scribbled Triton. oh and some more sharpie doodling.
more doodling really.


Finished my first walk cycle today. It was so much easier than it was when I tried a few weeks back. I'm slowly learning this language they call Flash. A friend of one of my coworkers came in today, and he animates on the f**king amazing shows Superjail and Metalocalypse. Talk about inspiring!

Hoping to get into the studio more and get more commissions done. Things have been mighty crazy around here lately!

on mcbess and motorcycles

So I fell in love with McBess. Matthieu Bessido. Yep.

Also, for sketchbook class we had to draw five pages of something we suck at drawing. So... Planes, automobiles... I suck at. So. MOTORCYCLES! PLANES! i like the f-117a nighthawk. Well, I'm obsessed with them and have a poster of one flying over the nevada desert.

I'm a total gearhead, but I can't draw any of it for beans.

My dad however, is AMAZING at drawing vehicles. But HE can't draw people. That's all I can draw. my mum can't even draw a stick figure.

Funny how that works.

oh. aaaand bar doodles.

'nother page and foods.

Photos by Victor Prado. For Reporter. I drew over them. My fav is the tentacle monster cheeseburger... Pick up the next issue of Reporter for more!!!!
