Peeker

Just having some fun, trying to do some cartoony style paintings.

Outpost on Planet Violialo

This is my attempt at a painting in the very similar styling of Dave Guertin. I did my own composition, and I think I did the painting some justice. I particularly had a lot of fun with the hues on this one.

For this one I just played with the curves function on Photoshop CS4, plus i mixed and matched some brushes to add texture.

Are you shore?

One of my friends, Brian Adelberg, took this photo. I really wanted to paint it. The tree is crazy, plus I like birds in compositions. If you like the painting you should really check out Brian's photography, It a spectacle of brilliance to behold.

Desert-ed

I did this as a speed painting practice. I took me about one hour, even with phone call interruptions.

Tangerine Skies

I wanted to do a monochromatic painting and when I started I realized I hadn't done one in 5 years, so this is my attempt. I feel pretty good about it, but I think I will practice a little more next time.

Trystopia

This one was extremely fun for me, I kept having images of this building in my head and I finally decided to paint it. Also, when I walk my dog I always see these birch trees and I love how they're this sort of green white color with the deep blue cut ins going across the trunks. 

TOOLS: Photoshop CS4, Wacom Intuos

Golden Gate

I don't really have much to say about this one. I just felt like doing the Golden Gate Bridge. I blocked out the shapes and proceeded to add color and depth.

Relaxin'

This was another painting I did for the fundraiser, I thought these types of paintings would be more of what investors and adults would want in their homes. So, there you have it.

Sailin'

I painted this one for a fundraiser.
