Very Rough Draft for Tomorrow

Hello Friends, How was your weekend? Mine was wonderful. We basically hung out all weekend watching the first Season of the TV show, Fringe. I forgot how good that season was. Well, the sketch today is a super duper rough draft sketch i did for an oil painting i want to start tomorrow. The sketch is inspired by Andreas Öhlund's photo of Mona Johannesson and Bo Deveilus for Stockholm S/S/A/W. I was thinking of possibly Live Ustreaming me painting tomorrow. I'm not sure if it would be too boring for yawl. hah. Let me know if it is something you would like, cause I will need to pick up my studio for it. It's a complete mess right now! Well, I hope you're having a great night. :)

The Boy & Girl

Hey Friends!
How was your weekend?
Went and bought some chemicals today for starting the glaze layers tomorrow on that oil painting.
I'm really excited to finish up this painting.
Looks like I'm still a week away from finishing it.
The sketch today is a quick one i did last week of this old 1940ish photo of these two little kids kissing.
The picture was just too adorable so the next thing i knew, i was just doodling it and this was the by-product.
I hope you like it and i hope you're having a great Sunday;)

Natalia & Neva

Happy 4th of July!
Well my friends, i'm really excited to show you this mixed media picture
I did of the lovely Natalia Vodianova & her daughter Neva.
The picture is from Mario Testino's "Field of Dreams" editorial in American Vogue's November 2008 issue.
It's one of the sweetest softest pictures, which has made me want to paint it for a while now.
I think i have been getting a little bored with painting editorials where the models just gave a pout,
and their personality doesn't shine through, so i've been trying to find images that have more emotion and feeling.
I love trying to convey that feeling through different mediums.
I really like how this one turned out. It has a slightly different feel than my other pictures.
I think it's because of the subject matter being a mother and daughter.
What do you think?
I hope you like it!

What I See When I Close My Eyes

Hey friends!
How are you?
Had a pretty relaxing weekend,
So spent the last week getting everything to release the EP my friend & I did.
I'm super excited about it.
It's going to be released July 12!

The Painting today is one of my favorite new pictures.
I think it's one of my all time favorite self-portraits.
it's kind of trippy how much it looks like me! haha
There is a strange dream like feel to the picture.
Let me know what you think.
I hope you like it :)

Character Development For Our Story

Hi friends! How are you?
So I ran out of clay and have to
wait for more to arrive to finish my sculpture.
I'm really excited, though! It is a super fun medium.

Today's post is a drawing I did for
some character development for the story I
am writing with my brother David.
This is of lil' Finn and Samuel.
It also is part of the Series on Love : )
I hope you are all having a great week so far
and I can't wait to show you the sculpture if it turns out!
