Commissions Dump

I've been designing a mascot for a t-shirt for a Wildlife Control business locally in my area in New York. The client wanted an extremely muscular raccoon bending a catchpole in his hands and mouth, with a backwards hat and tribal arm tattoos, on the right arm, having the NY Yankees logo embedded in it. And the city skyline will be in the back round. Pretty crazy idea huh? I plan on simplifying the city in the back round, but here is some work from studying raccoons and just some nice gestural studies.

Macabre Art: Made Spooky

I've been dabbling into macabre arts lately, especially tattoo artists like Paul Booth and fine artists like Saturno Butto. Creating disturbing, scary images is kind of a power surge for me because I like being able to have an effect on peoples emotions with things that disgust/disturb them. Yet we still find images of death, gore, horror, etc so interesting that we cannot just look at ONE image. I created this pencil drawing, of course, it's macabre themed. Something about evil, and darkness is just really inspiring to me sometimes, especially if your listening to a lot of Rob Zombie and Cannibal Corpse...

Ahhh, Neglect.

It's been quite awhile since I've posted on blogger. It's a shame, the summer has left me busy with 2 jobs and laziness. But, I've mustered up some ambition to post a new post. (WHOA) Here are some little plant like characters I've been playing with, and they're based off of actual varieties of flowers, and I think every flower has its own personality, individuality, and identity. I wanted to convey that in these 2 characters I've developed so far. The quirky Marigold and the most adorable Petunia...

Digital Painting!

I've been doing a lot of life drawing with the wacom tablet, and especially focusing on color and how it reflects off of flesh. Here are a few examples of brief pieces.

Snooki Studies

Still progressively working on my Jersey shore Snooki piece. Ideas take so long to develop into something worthwhile.

Random Ideas

Lately I just toyed with this idea of a redneck girl hunting for mutant animals in a bog....
