Did I Tell Myself I Would Wait To Post These Until I’d Completed A Couple More Pages? Yes. Did I Get

Second study, using heavy body acrylics this time.

So far I like the opacity, but I prefer how smooth the open acrylics feel and that they stay wet on the palette for longer.

I’m trying to move away from my natural inclination towards fussy details and get more of the big strokes that you see in Uglow, Saville, and Freud.

Gonna be selling these 4x4 vinyl stickers at the Short Run Comix & Arts Festival in Seattle on November 4th.

Will post more info soon about where my table will be and what else I’ll be selling.

My partner heroically located the cables for the scanner so I can finally post high res versions of these painting studies.

First is geometric shapes with open acrylic paints, second is broad colors with heavy body acrylics, third is open acrylics as the base with heavy body acrylics for defining highlights and shadows.

doing some painting

Well, my "Hannibal" piece didn't get accepted to Banquet, which sucks because I worked really hard on this and I think it turned out really well.

On the positive side, I have an illustration that I worked really hard on and it turned out really well!

I was inspired by sweetmeats -- food made from offal, such as intestines, testicles and the thymus -- and floral china plates.

Also, I learned that Hugh Dancy is really fucking hard to draw. Mads Mikkelsen has such a distinctive face that he's rather easy to draw, but with Hugh, if you get some detail just a little bit off, it doesn't look like him anymore.
