The Sketchbook Project 3!

Portugal. The Man Vinyl Artwork

So I pre-ordered the Censored Colors Vinyl by Portugal the Man. For $30 I got the Vinyl and a T-Shirt. Portugal the Man is a band that definitely puts a lot of work into their records and in the studio, you can really hear all the work they put into the songs on the record. And although I prefer the sound of Vinyl over CD,Mp3 and Tape I am a bit selective on the records I buy on Vinyl. I like having a small collection of records that I really love since A. they take up a lot of space and I also like being able to get around to listening to my favorite records more often. 

I also have the past albums of Portugal the Man on Vinyl and knew they always had cool album artwork. The waiters Vinyl is clear with black splattered paint,I knew I had to pre order the Vinyl when It came out, I think I made the right choice.

They even came with a cut out Gorilla mask and Wheat paste, Wheat Paste Directions, and oh yeah it came with a free download of the album, The whole un-opening experience  felt a little bit like Christmas.

Check em' Out!

lui & lei

all together now!

lei

Hey peeps I just finished the female version of the color progression series (lei) This is the first piece that is completely in acrylic. I was getting annoying patches of darker color where the layers overlapped when using an Oil based paint marker, the two paintings next to each other look pretty cool since the color stripes match up. 

The two paintings are my interpretation of the balance of a relationship.

lui

This is a piece I did on computer a couple of weeks ago and decided would look cool as a painting. It's on 30x40 Canvas and done with Acrylic and Paint Marker. I think I am going to try and do a couple others in the same style but with different colors. 

Hallowedding

So I just got back from Long Island for my brothers Hallowedding. Since they met around Halloween they figured to celebrate the holiday and their anniversary by having a Costume Ball. I saw friends and relatives dressed as characters from the Beverly Hillbilllies, Robin Hood Men In Tights, the event was filled with plenty of Celebrities including Yoko Ono and John Lennon, Mary Kate Olsen, Angelina Jolie and all her kids, and 80's Rockstar Pal Joey.

Pal Joey Guitar

For my brothers wedding he is having a Costume Ball theme. The Hallowedding will be plenty of friends and relatives and Im sure will be filled with plenty of Celebrities and Movie Stars. 

I decided I would go as my dad Pal Joey, he had no idea what I was going to be and seemed a bit shocked to be approached by his son at a party dressed as him 25 years ago, I guess I would have been too.

Broken Umbrellas

So its a freeezzing rainy crappy New York Day, I walked around my neighborhood earlier to get something to eat and took a new photo of a broken Umbrella. I have been taking pictures of broken umbrellas for a while now and always wanted to make a book or some kind of series of large photo prints. There is something sad about an Umbrella, you buy one when its raining for $3 it breaks at the end of the day, or if your lucky it lasts 2 or 3 rain days then you drop it and leave it or throw it out. At the end of a rainy day in New York you can find at-least 2 broken Umbrellas on any given Block. Here are just a few of the most recent

Bad to the Bone

The other day I was playing around with ideas for a new symbol or brand mark for me. I thought of my most distinct traits and tried to simplify them as much as I could. It came down to my hair and sideburns and realized that using that as a symbol would be kind of silly. I then got into the spirit of halloween and finished off the rest of my face with the skull teeth and nose and the colors I pulled from my website palette but definitely added to the Halloween vibe, (thanks lo).

I am going to do this 30"x40" and maybe do a series of these in different colors to replace the painting pixels series. I will post when I get started... Halloween pictures also coming soon

Silence Is Golden

 I wanted to make an outside box for a candle that would diffuse the light better than the basic candle holder. I decided to use golden paper that I  had found at Paper Presentations. I went along with the gold theme and cut the word "Silence" out of it from the adage "Silence is Golden" it is more like Silence is glowing but the outside paper provides the gold.

Can you guess the Typeface?

Scubanaut

Pssst.. you see the face profile?

Better pictures coming Soon

Scubanaut Concept

Hey This is my next concept for a painting,

I completely support NASA and money put towards exploring the unexplored, but do you ever wonder how many species and unidentified creatures that have yet to have been discovered here on Earth? 

Over 70% of the earth is water and much of it is unexplored.

Who knows what can be living miles below us, and I bet we have a much better chance of finding ET down there too.

Computer Sketches

Hey,

Just been playing with some sketches on the computer that I will end up painting. not sure if I should keep it all in halftone like the others or go more in these directions, just playing with ideas.
