So, I am a little behind on posting. See, I moved to Minneapolis, and all my computer stuff has been a bit tied up… Good times I guess.
Anyway, I did another round of Ten Paces for the theme of Monsters, or in my case Ghosts. I made two, here they are:
and the other one
Check out all the work here.
I’ve been experiencing some issues with my web host, so hopefully this is back up and running as it should be. Pardon any weird rss updates, my whole site basically reverted back to 2009.
So the John Candy painting I made was for the show at Gallery 1988: Venice, “The Road To Shermer: A Tribute to John Hughes”
It opened last week. Check out the work, there is lots of good stuff:

This year, being 2010, I am working on a side project. The project involves painting 100 paintings over the next year, at two per week, all 5″x5″. Since it is its own thing, I gave it its own blog apart from this. I call it Some Tiny Teeth: http://sometinyteeth.com *If it doesn’t load, the DNS stuff might not be all the way done, it should be totally golden by Tuesday morning at the latest
Here is a graphic to go along with it:
I’ll probably post a monthly update here covering what I did over there.
Here is another digital painting with the ol’ Sketchbook Pro. This one is a bit more reserved perhaps… I think I finally made a custom brush I am happy with doing ‘doodle’ paintings with. Here it is.
A side note on the new Wacom Intuos4 tablets: Pretty slick with one glaring flaw. They changed the surface of the active area, they made it slightly textured, the theory apparently being it is more like drawing on paper, which I guess some people like. The reality for me is I wore through a nib in 2 days. Wore it down to a weird half flat half point thing, that was noticeably scuffing up the surface.. My old timey intuos 1, one nib for 8 years of use. So, you know what I did? I pulled the surface off my old tablet, cut it down to size and taped it on. Much nicer, though slightly ghetto looking. You can but replacement nibs and surfaces via Wacom. But they arn’t the cheapest, and I don’t feel I should have too, so a little annoyed, but them’s the breaks. For now its perfectly functional. Here is hoping they release a ‘smooth’ surface replacement.
Due to a server move many of my images got broken, so for the time being if you look at anything more than 3 pages back, I can’t guarantee all the images will be there, I am in the process of fixing everything now though.
Ah the joys of technology… Is anything ever easy?
I am giving the all clear. Hopefully nothing unforeseen is broken.
Just a quick note, I have the been picked as a Featured Artist for the month of July over at the art blog Creep Machine. Check it out!
Not a lot of posting going on ’round here. I have a couple more substatial paintings in progress and am attempting to get a third rolling. I might post a couple progress shots as the move along. Good times all around.
In the mean time, I painting this thing tonight. Its a man who lives in a sea of flour. It’s for the good ol’ super awesome art challenge blog.
Acrylic on paper, the size is something-ish…
Those Twin Peaks paintings I posted a little while ago are for a show at Gallery 1988: LA which opened last night.
The show is called “Idiot Box”, all the art is posted here: http://idiotbox88.blogspot.com/ Check it out, there is a ton of super good work.
Later.
