Around Halloween, every art show I went to was some kinda zombie-monster themed. I had no intentions really on painting zombies, I wanted to paint friendly, cute children, but given the surroundings I was forced to be around it warped my image of what cute children looked like. Behold my zombie children! Just acrylic on canvas.
Let’s not forget the little ones!
And no, this did not help at all with my fear of zombies. I thought it would make the word seem “cute” and I was wrong!
As you know, almost everyone wants an interesting icon for their twitter-twatter page! I went on an addictive creative flight for a while a few months back turning my friends into personalized comic book style illustrations. The spark lasted a few-weeks and it was awesome. Basically I just doodled a sketch on a piece of paper, out-lined it with ink, scanned it into Adobe Photoshop, created a shit ton of layers and managed to poop out some colorful neat icons!

Yes! Like every other hipster in Philadelphia, I absolutely adore the Beatles, but I did not do this one for me. A friend of mine has a dumb Beagle whom I love to death. His name is Toby (named after Toby from the office, and yes, the personality match is almost exact) Anyways, my friend is also a Beatles fan and commissioned me to paint for him a Beatles Beagles painting. I said, “Fuck Yes I Can Do That For You”
Inspired by these pictures I have in my living room:
I came up with this painting (using all of Toby’s faces for each Beatle expression)
I know this is a weird image of the painting, a better one to come once I remember to take a picture of it next time I am over my friends house! It’s been a hard days night and I’ve been working like a dog.
I found this oldish wood shelf in a basement that was cut into four pieces and decided they would make great smooth canvases for painting on. As I am starring at them trying to think of what I could paint I notice I am surrounded by dusty-ass x-mas decorations so I decided it be neat to paint the look on a kids face when he opens a gift and sees all of the glory of not getting what he asked Santa for. I used acrylic paint with ink and coated the panting with Polyurtrane for an extra glossy look.
