Monsta

I played around with watercolor on this one. The ink I used was water based so I had to do the watercolor on a separate piece of paper - then scan them and put them together in Photoshop. This was a bit of an experiment.. next time I might try doing the watercolor first and a solid ink over the top..

New Paintings

I finished off these two pieces today. They are ink and spray paint on wood panels. I'm not sure if I'm going to do anything further with these though.. they were kind of exercises to work out a style for pieces for gallery display. I'm mostly happy with the style, though there's still a few kinks to work out. On the policeman piece, the ink didn't exactly absorb, which made a cool effect, but wasn't exactly what I was shooting for. Since it absorbed fine on the other panel, (sun) I think it was just less absorbent wood. I'll have to keep that in mind when getting substrates again.

Abstract

Here's an abstract piece I did recently.. hopefully the first in a series.



..and here it is hanging over my messy art area, where it will probably stay until I figure out what else to do with it.

Patrol

I never got WAY into painting, but I've been feeling an urge lately to get more into it. This was done in oil paint on a wood panel. I did some color adjustments and text in Photoshop. For the most part it turned out like I wanted, but I had some trouble controlling the brush/paint. Some research on technique should help future paintings.
