642 Things To Draw...

Thanks to my Wife, I received a book of 642 things to draw. What a great idea for a drawing book. My goal is one sketch for the day, maybe two. I have completed two on the first page, 640 to go! There are so many crazy things to draw in this book so the creative juices will be flowing!

Clerks Re-Imagined Poster Design

Here is my poster concept created for "Clerks" the 1994 movie by Kevin Smith. Other artists along with myself are creating posters based on cult classics which will be shown at http://www.fruitspace.co.uk/cultcinema/
I went for a more retro horror feel with this one. My next creation for Fruitspace will be "The Lost Boys," which is in my top 20 favorite movies!

Munch's Scream

Thought I would share an ornament I was asked to do based on Edvard Munch's Scream. Out of all the ornaments I did for 2011, this one was my fav!

More Paintings

Hey Guys, here is a recent oil completed for a family. I really enjoyed painting pumpkins post Halloween because it's getting me ready for Halloween 2012!

New Little Guitar

Here is the second guitar I did for Bob at LKPro.com. I went for an art nouveau style for this little guy and painted using fine acrylics. I think it looks pretty cute!

Guitar Woodburning

Here is the Martin guitar I've been working on. Had to strip down the finish so I could woodburn the pure wood grain. It was a long process, but I was pretty happy with its unique look. I took my time on this piece because woodburning is tattooing of the wood and there was no turning back if I messed up the design.

Great Horned Owl Chainsaw Art

A few weeks ago I finally finished my Great Horned Owl Chainsaw sculpture. This is my first chainsaw art piece, and there will be many more to come. I've had offers on this piece, but have not decided on selling. It resides now in sunny N.C. and might make the trip to Buffalo if I cut him down. The tree used for the owl was struck by lightning a few years ago and the whole tree was charred black. I thought it looked real cool, but since the house is for sale that it stands in front of, I thought I should clean it up. I like to think the wise owl has supernatural powers since it was struck by lightning. Chainsaw art is something the Cornelius N.C. crowd is not familiar with and the neighbors said it has been the talk of the town, which is nice!
