Metamorphosis
This took me about 10 hours. I really found it difficult to do the process of metamorphosis, I had to study up and read, which I love anyway. So, read up and paint great shit!

Re-touch "Barn & Horses"
I decided to take this painting back into photoshop and make some changes. After looking at it for a couple of days I realized that the barn was to small in the perspective and the horses weren't dark enough in the foreground. I also dropped down the mountains and the dead brush. I think it looks a whole lot better the the previous version.

Barn & Horses
Painting I did for a book cover. I found this to be quite fun. I had never done a western type of theme before. I found it to be very challenging, trying to come up with a good composition, playing with lighting, painting horses. I think the final product says something interesting about attempting something you've never done before. Also, I owe a debt to the book "Alla Prima: Everything I Know About Painting". If you don't own this book and your a painter,........SHAME ON YOU.

Blurrgat Caverns
Hallway
I wish I knew who originally did this, but I saw it on a drive at school and thought I want to figure out how he did this. So, I sat down with my "Wacom" and pounded it out. I think I did a good job and you will probably see some stuff like this in the future.

Sunken
This was a painting I had already completed, but looking upon it again, I decided it needed a few more things to make it more interesting and believable. I added the sunken ship and some kelp in random places.

Sketches #1
This is a layout for the movie Planet 51. I saw this in a concept book somewhere and wanted to see if I could reproduce it. I think it came out pretty successful.
This is 2 bad guys in the jungle...I cant remember where I got the inspiration for this image, but I know I cant take credit for it
This final image is another homage to CreatureBox....I seriously cant get enough of their style.

Maudeville Canyon
This is a plane-air painting I did with the Sunday Painting Posse.....I struggled with this one, it was like a battle I couldn't win....It was noon and the light wasn't really working for me, but I pulled through. The top image is a painterly style where I've taken the liberty of adding shadows to help the image. The middle image is a texture based image. As for the bottom image, I thought adding a person for the foreground focal point would help the composition.

Wine!
This is the second concept I did for HDR testing. I had a lot of fun doing this one, mostly because wine is delicious.

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.
