from under the surface...


While tackling a few new freelance projects I was able to spawn yet another new piece. Looks are deceiving, for it is only about 6x8. On the side I've cobbled together 7 more canvases, so hopefully I'll be a tad more productive updating this little guy.



Oh, and I tried my hand at a crest for a commission. For a first try I feel it was satisfactory. Take care and see you guys soon!

Of skyscrapers and samurais...

So over the last month i've polished off another series of pieces.

Predator - 2012

Of course I had to kick off the new year with a nice new piece. It was my first time making a paper doll of sorts and I hope to touch down on this idea again soon. Currently there are 5 canvas ready for some new experiments. Let's see what the next few weeks herald.

Guaranty - 2012

On the chopping block was a commission that involved one of Buffalo's architectural gems, Louis Sullivan's Guranty building. Instead of doing an ordinary rendering of the building I took an alternate route that pleased both the customer and myself. Sadly I feel the matting/mounting of this piece took longer than the actual execution of the drawings...

...Then again it was a good learning experience ;)
