So I have been working on this thing a few hr's lately. Its starting to come along. I am starting to like it a little even.

Starting

Start of my fem fetal. I like how confronting she feels. Loads of work to go....

Tattoo Design

2011-10-24T12:31:00.004-06:00

So for my big painting I did a tattoo design to put onto my model. I wanted to make the fem fetal seem even more menacing. Giving her a tattoo instantly made her seem hard and intense; choosing the Medusa was so that you would feel uncomfortable, you shouldn't be looking at her at all because you would die. I intended it to be a chest piece, so it also has more to the design that spread out on both sides. You will see when you look at my painting.

This is big for me ok!

So I got a new canvas and started working on a new painting last week. Unfortunately I forgot my camera at home today. This thing is 4ftx5ft which is like huge for me! I am having a fun time with it but its a little overwhelming too. The project has some historical references to a few myths. I don't want to give anything away yet but its a cool concept if you ask me. So wish me luck and who knows by next week I might have a painting close to done.

This is a painting I have been working on for ever. It needs more work but not sure what yet...its been sitting in the studio untouched for a few months now.

I have been doing several paintings of meat and flesh. I have more work to do on these but I like some of the color I am getting in them.
