Those pieces for my new show!

So I've got a double wide post today! I've finished up all the pieces for my Luxe De Vil show for February. The theme is the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and I went all out with the blood and gore! Something I'm getting increasingly good at it would seem! So with that in mind here are the new pieces:


And here's the first piece, I've just titled: Space Gore!

And as we pull out we get to see the reason for such horrific distress! BAM! Right through the guts!

Finally we see the cause of the catastrophe and the doofus letting it happen. No one can really hear you scream in space... in the most ironic of ways. I had the worst time thinking of fresh stuff to do for this show, and finally my inspiration hit me as I was (suprise) playing some video games. More specifically Dead Space. That game is freakin' awesome! Go get it. Anyways, so there are the new pieces!

I hope you enjoy!

Full inks for the February art show

Hi! So I've taken the weekend to work hardcore on the pieces for my February art show. I've been really sick so it's been pretty consistent for me to take time away from the drawing board to rest. Regardless I at least got to finish up my inks on these pieces and I like how they've come out!













So I'm not 100% sure on how to go about the colors but it's supposed to be bloody. So get ready for the blood on the next post!

Peace

Art Show At Luxe De Vil Tonight!

The kind ladies at Luxe De Vil Salon were kind enough to invite me to their December first Friday gallery opening as an exhibitor! I think I'll be there kinda late - not feeling too well tonight but I really wanna check out everyone else's work and see some people I haven't seen in awhile.

ANYHOO - The show is from 6pm until 9pm tonight and you can get directions from the link provided above. If you can't come here's a sweet photo they nabbed for me of the two pieces I contributed for tonight's show!



The theme was Alice in Winter Wonderland by the by.

Finally free of obligation

Ok so December is an open slate for me as far as artwork goes! So with that being said I am opening up for commissions and any upcoming jobs anyone wishes to hire me for. I really want to focus on comic work again so if you have anything in that vein please forward it along to my email spicypeanut at gmail dot com.

In other fresh news I have a show at Luxe De Vil Salon this Friday night on the Santa Fe artwalk!

They're at 657 Santa Fe dr. Which is in between 6th and 7th street on the west side. Usually lasts from around 6pm up to 930 or 10pm!

Forgoing the last piece.

So the last piece is giving me some issues so I'm moving on for the moment.

I got inspired after seeing Regina Spektor live in concert last night to go back to a concept I had way before this show idea. I've always wanted to remake the Queen of Hearts. This is the culmination of that idea and probably the fourth of the pieces.

The idea for them goes as follows.
Alice follows the White Rabbit.
Alice encounters the dead flowers frozen in winter.
Alice finds her way to the tree shortcut to the Queen's kingdom.
And finally the unforgiving Queen herself.

So without further adieu, the Queen herself in pencils.







I'm flirting with the idea of doing some tattoos on her arm to modern her up. Not sure what I'll do with that negative space at the top there.

That's all for now!
Peace

Roughs of the new piece.

As promised I update this when I update my feed. The 2nd piece for Alice's Winter Wonderland show will be Alice surrounded by the faces in the flowers. Except since it's winter they're all dead and she is astonished - if not horrified.

I got the composition idea from my friend and former coworker Lauren Michaels. My model for this piece is my dear friend Ann Flynn. A talented actress and singer whose talent I can't describe in words.

So here's the two images - the first being the reference. The second being the rough of the image. Hope you enjoy!








So as you can see it's nowhere near being done or polished but you get the idea. I may mess with the facial expression a bit too.

Anyhoo that's it for me!
