Live Streamed Skull

I don't do a lot of daily things but every day I do things. I'm trying to blog my days over on patreon, and talk more about the thoughts behind some of the art. This skull, first you tube live stream painting ever. 

getting Goofy ...

Sometimes the silly has to be drawn.

This guy is way more vibrant in real life.

OHK ... we're all ohk

Reworking and tweaking older drawings and paintings that needed tweaking and reworking. This skull is sitting on a mostly black background with orange trim. That orange is way more vibrant in real life.
And that's OHK

Know Second ...

Who knew it would be so easy?
Just do it ... just fucking do it and see what happens.
There's always a second option but that doesn't mean the first choice is wrong. If it doesn't work out all you've spent was time, but if it works then BOOM! You're golden.
Even if the worst happens, you'll learn something for next time.

Unless this is the zombie apocalypse, then the worst is getting bit and dying a slow agonizingly painful death only to become a zombie as well.

So stop second guessing yourself and get started, and no matter what happens, don't give up.
Everyone that matters to you wants you to succeed.
Easy

Face Melt

Was it an acid spill or extreme heat that caused the zombies face to melt?

where the real wild things are ...

Last year I painted Carol, from "Where the Wild Things Are", and I was never quite happy with it. Today I dug it out and took a bit of anger and frustration out on him ... bringing out the real wild within. I think it's quite an improvement.

saturday RAGER sketch

It has been a day of yard works, bug battles, chainsaws and road trips to compost heaps. I thought I saw some fraggles ...

This painting was created this evening, but due to feelings of exhaustion it was quite the struggle to create. In the end the hard lines were drawn and the paint was thrown ... the final result is pleasing.

end of the month F U

Ever want to rant about life and stuff? About difficult days and even tougher nights? Do you want to bitch and complain, whine and moan, throw a BYOB pity party and get completely wasted on other peoples booze then pass out in the bathtub. Or reach through the computer screen and punch the haters and the doubters and the in the face. Well ... this image is all those things and more. It's a huge F U  to the universe in general and anyone or anything that does you wrong.

This painting got a little treatment to make it look more like the graphic that has been sold as shirts and prints and the original is now available for sale here: http://bit.ly/1KfzEUu

Thirty Heads 1 of 30 - Ralph

Ralph was miserable and cranky.
He just finished eating yet the hunger persisted.
It was feeling of emptiness that constantly gnawed at him, driving him mad with rage and hunger.
He must feed again.
Soon ... NOW!

Consumed with hunger, Ralph put one hand after another and slowly dragged himself through the city in search of his next meal ... his rotting entrails dragging behind him.

DEAD

I was hoping to post a witty title but nothing is coming to mind. Sometimes wit just isn`t needed, more matter hard much you want it.

So it`s the end of the work week and my productivity will soon come to an end, sorta. The weekend looms and the kids are anxious to go to water parks and other outdoor stuff. All in all it has been pretty good. Better than previous weeks.

The image below was a rough sketch, one of dozens, made for a publisher that wanted to promote the word DEAD for their books. My shit is to cartoony for them, not enough realism for their liking. They want the painted, sorta real, type imagery that you find most other places. So it was rejected, just like nearly every other idea and concept I gave them. To messy, to simple, not what I had envisioned at all, etc etc yadda yadda ya ...

Really freaked me out inside my own head. Totally fubared me for a while and even now it creeps in and threatens to make a mess again. So now I don`t work with them anymore. Haven`t in months and it`s for the best. I don`t think I will ever work for a publisher like that again. To restricting and smothering.

So anyways ... here`s an image that was condemed to hell but brought back to life like a cast member of Supernatural. Revamped and super charged from the original doodle.

As I mentioned in my last post, I am trying to turn this in to my J O B ... so I have started taking designs I like and putting them on shirts. Eventually I want to own my own silkscreen machine but until then, its the experts at spreadshirt that are doing it for me. Check my store here, it`s a tad bare at the moment, but I just started.

Also, if you have any ideas or suggestions, please do let me know. Cheers.
