Surrender in Progress
New painting I started last night. Work has been really ruff the last couple weeks, so I decided to create an ode to how I feel. This guy is standing in a crazy jump suit waving the white flag. I used a really deep red in the background to represent the drama that made him surrender. I am trying to paint this one a little slower than the others. Really want to get detailed with this one. It’s about 11 X 14 in size so I gotta get my detail brushes out.

Waving Goodbye ( in progress )
The other day i decided to finally give in and give oil paint a try, and i must say I am pretty impressed. Up to now i have never really experimented past water colors, and acrylics. For me it always seemed to work, i like painting fast anyways so i never really saw the need for oils. After this painting i realized that it was a lot more than just keeping the paint wet. The colors pop off the canvas much more than with acrylics, just creates a more vibrant picture. Really enjoyed blending the colors together so easily. I normally struggle a lot with shading in acrylics because of the timing. Oil is a real nice change of pace that I am sure ill be using more of.
Another Montana Alien experiment
This guy reminds me of the kind of characters i was doing during my high school years. I remember really learning how to cut with the can back then, for those that don’t know cutting is technique where you trim lines and fades with the color next to it. This helps achieve a serious level of detail in your work…if you can do it right. I remember looking at other writers pieces wondering how they got lines so damn thin. Now I am trying to remind myself after all these years. Hopefully a few more of these and i wont look so rusty.
Plastic PVC Limbs
Another character using the montana alien cans. This time i experimented with the semi transparent cans. These cans have half clear coat and half paint. This allows for better control when doing really faint shading. Overall i liked the use of the white more than the black, but it was my first time with it.
