slowly but surely....

alright, been doing a bit more on the one with the green chick in the pink dress. i started with this photo:

no clue who she is, but, she agreed to sit for a picture. anyway, then i did this...

and that blue bit was due to that weird bug in my software (i think, since it keeps happening). and now i've got this:

which i do like, but it needs a lot of finageling.

also, i've been digging up a lot of my old tattoo flash, and I'm gonna start posting that today.

Still not asleep... Who cares

this is only, really, half done. big plans for it. but I think this "mid-way point" could be a finished piece on its own....

...maybe I'm just tired.

More later.

I SHOULD BE SLEEPING

So, as much as I need to be at work early, I remembered I had this picture....

....from a concert at the Bleekman Beer Garden. No clue who she is, but she agreed to pose for a picture. So I made this....

But at first the computer put out this... which I also like.

Graphicatin'

Spending the day at the Beekman Beer garden again, taking pics of the band and the crowd for future projects. But wanted to first share some graphics I made over the past day or two; I'm pretty pleased with them.

Yep, that yellow one is Sharon Foo of the Raveonettes; I'm gonna paint a giant version of that graphic, I'm thinking 7' x 6'. The other one was simple to do, yet I love it so so much. The ankles need a bit of work, but I kinda like the wrinkliness. I plan to use it on a rock poster or album cover or something. It just seems made for it.

Dot Dot Dot

Just a quick update on where I'm going with the paintings I'm doing with those rock show pictures I posted last time. Here's a sample:

Not very impressive just yet. Did that by hand in Flash, 'cause I don't have the money for Photoshop. Gonna add the legs today, not sure what to do about the shirt, maybe just a solid block? Yeah, I like that.

And speaking of girls fulla holes....

That was a fun project. Local airfield let me go through their scrap and take away a wing of a place, then I painted a hot transvestite on it, set it on fire, and shot it with a gun. Wow, that sounded homophobic... I DIDN'T mean to burn and shoot her in effigy, I just wanted it to look like she'd been through the war, and still was hot.

Her eyebrows came out awful.

Anyway, I'll post more about the rock pics later.

brand damned new project

Well, I've decided to cool it on the tattoo-style artwork for a while, not that I've actually posted much of it. I'm about half way through a triptych, shown below, but I keep coming back to the first painting, the finished one here:

(I'm halfway through this next one)

...needs a lot of work.

But that first one is something I want to work with. Specifically, with the following pictures. And some 2' x 8' masonite.

Yep, went to a killer Eternal Summers / Raveonettes concert. And I'm gonna do something real awesome with these photos; I'll keep you all posted.
