2020 Ends And Some Art Commissions

I notice I post less and less in my blog here over the past few years, but here I am at the end of the year creating a few posts! Here is some artwork that was commissioned by others. Two of these images were actually recreations of my sketch book pages as I do not tear out pages. Actually I feel the original recreations of the pages were probably better than the pages themselves. I still felt I keep them loose and drew them as fast as the original pages. The others were portraits of a couple that was traditionally painted and is a layer piece. The other image was created traditionally and digitally for a friend who is a new comedian in LA. The monster piece was created for a gentlemen who I have done other work with. He asked me to do my take on a monster design of his that was already 3D printed. Anyways besides these I did hundreds of sketchbook pages, drawings, sculpts, digital art, etc. Creating is my life! Cheers! 

Over Five Years Of Monday Monsters

 Back in August 18, 2014 I digitally drew a goofy monster in Photoshop and when I posted it called it the Monday Monster from that day I would do that every Monday although that same year for some reason the month of October 2014 I strangely did not do any Monday Monsters! That was my only gap and I have not missed a Monday since! Anyways almost the first few years I created the Monday Monsters digitally in Photoshop. I did have one traditional one the first year I did these. Anyways I hand draw them now and once and awhile sculpt some. I do sell them so contact me if interested as I still have many left. Anyways here are random Monday Monster images from back in 2014 along with some fun facts which are now a little bit out of date. I usually post these Monday Monster drawings on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Chills! 

 

October Digital Paintings 2020

ello all hard to believe November 2019 was the last time I posted here! The months go by fast and I am creating more than ever over this past year, that has been both interesting and more than challenging at times! Anyways this last October like every October I like to create much Halloween/Horror type art be it in my sketchbook or some digital paintings like the ones I am posting here. The digital painting of the creature coming out of the sea destroying the light house was the final form from one of my Rinktober sketches out of my sketchbook. Rinktober where everyday in October I did an quick Halloween/Horror ink drawing and posted it on social media. Anyways these digital paintings were created on my Wacom tablet in Photoshop and as always they were a blast to create! Chills!

End Of Year Review

Wow crazy how fast this year went! So I only posted in January and it was of two images I was supposed to post in 2018! Funny how that works and here we are at the the very end of 2019 and I have not posted anything in between! So I will post various digital, traditional drawing/painting type images here I did over the past 12 months. It was also the 5 year anniversary of my Monday postings so I will also post a few Monday Monsters here. Cheers to you all and have a great 2020 and I will try to have a few more postings.

 

 

 

PLANET OF THE APES And 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY At 50

Yes I am a few weeks or so late posting this seeing both PLANET OF THE APES and 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY were both released 50 years ago, so this should of been a 2018 post. So happy 50th birthday to both great films which one would say in 2018. With that out of the way I created these two digital paintings in tribute to these two films that I really like and influence me in many ways! Also both films had apes, cool space ships, and astronauts dealing with wild situations, etc. stuff I really like in films at times! The two films also have many differences, but in the end are both great scifi/fantasy type films to me! So below is my more straight forward PLANET OF THE APES tribute piece and my off beat 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY tribute piece. Both of these pieces were created in Photoshop.  Also there are some pictures of apes and me from Creatures Con 2018 where I had a table selling my art creations.
