a bunch of tradish pieces.

here are several pieces that I did recently. I'm trying to get a good feel for a way to do traditional pieces that have a splash of color in them and are interesting to look at. Traditional isn't the easiest, but it is so open ended and the possibilities just keep growing - i really have a good time exploring in real media.

These ones are all paintings of Red Sonja. If you don't know who that is - it's sort of like Conan's female counterpart. She was dreamed up by the same writer. She had a movie staring Bridget Nielson (i think that's how you spell her name) and Arnold S. was in it too.

At any rate, I used to love her comics when I was little. They had monsters, swords, and boobies. It's pretty much a perfect combination. I'd never yet done any pics of red Sonja and now that I have - it's all i want to do. (^__^) I'm working on another one for the Crazy4Cult show in LA next month. It's shaping up to be a really fun piece and I can't wait to post it, but before I post it - i have to finish it.

I'll find some time and get back to you on that one.

cheers,

Oh yah, and in case you were wondering - they're ink washes, a little water color, and some acrylic and then they were mounted to board.

what would we do without music?

I made a joke the other day about a piece of music - I said "this song is so good that it should be the only song on earth." It's not a terribly funny joke - well, it's not funny at all, but once I said that I realized just how awesome it is that we get more than one song.

I think it's one of those things that we all take for granted - and it's easy to take for granted because it doesn't make logical sense that there would only be one song... but, well, imagine a world with only one song and then open your eyes to the real world - infinite possibility. it's fantastic.

The same thing goes with visual art. So why do I keep doing the same thing? I like it. I'm trying to keep each of these images different enough so that they're interesting.

When I fail at that - don't be afriad to call me out. That's what the anonimity of the internet is for.

On the other hand if you enjoy the art. Here's another song painted into black, white, and red.

Do have a good day.

This is the cover for a magazine that I was just included in. It's called (as you can read) idea illustrator. they liked my black and white silhouette pics, which is great since I've been working hard on them for a long long time.

I'll post a few other pics - the art you've seen on this blog, but it's neat to see it in print format.
