It’s been years since I’ve drawn Harley and I don’t know why. Next to The Joker and Two-Face, she’s my favorite.
Guitar Restoration # 3
Finally finished with my seven string, I have a love hate relationship with this guitar. I only bought this guitar because Korn and Wes Borland used a seven string, at the time it was expensive and it was the only one I can afford. It only took me fifteen years to figure out how to use it. Plus, this is the only way I’m able to get a custom guitar, if I do it myself.
Acoustic Spray Paint
I’m really happy how my acoustic guitar came out, I have another guitar in the works, just waiting for my pickups to come in to finish. I might spray paint another guitar but who knows.
Spray Paint The World
I kept seeing these videos of spray paint art and I was wondering, can I do that and I did. I want to do a design on my next guitar rebuild and I think this will work out just fine, I hope. 🤞🏼
May The 4th
May the 4th be with you. Showing my geeky side with a drawing of Grogu, happy Star Wars day.
Guitar Restoration
I forgot I had this guitar that a coworker gave to me years ago. At the time I thought he wanted me to fix it up for his kid but he just wanted me to have it. It wasn’t in bad shape but I wanted to clean it up a bit. I bleached the pickguard and the screws, sanded the rust off the screws and added a new pickup, which I’m not good at setting the EMG’s up. Finally I sanded the dings to give the guitar a vintage look, surprisingly it sounds pretty good for kids basic guitar.
Painting Ideas
Trying to see what sticks for my next painting. I see the painting in my head but its not coming out the right way when I sketch it out. I even saw the sun peaking through the clouds today and I thought that would be a great painting.
Nine Years Ago (3-16-14)
I love this video of my nephew and I playing a cover song by Faith No More. I remember asking him can you learn this song and show me how to play it because at one point my band was going to play this as a cover and I wasn’t great at learning covers but I knew my nephew was. I wish I had more videos like this and I wish I would of asked Matthew to join my band sooner.
Flashback Friday (2017)
I didn’t forget about this drawing but I forgot I'm made a video for it. I like making timelapse videos of my drawings but I always forget to start recording as I start the creating process. 🤷🏽♂️
Look at this Photograph
I always hear Nickelback when I say look at this photograph, I don’t know why, Ha! Here’s something you don’t see used as much in this polaroid, a landline, VHS tapes, DVD’s, there’s probably one more thing but oh well. I remember I took this picture to show my art teacher what I can do because he didn’t have any faith in me that I can paint something so massive. After that art class I question if I should keep drawing but I’m happy that I still draw and paint to this day.
Cruel Melody Painting (2014)
Here’s an old painting that I never used. I think I was going to use it for my bands EP but that never happened. I decided to re-edit the video, used a new backing track and shorten the video from six minutes to forty five seconds. I’m glad I used a new guitar track to the clip, the acoustic track gives the video a different feel, more peaceful than creepy.
Eye Problem Solved
Fixed a couple of things with the floor painting. She didn’t like the eye closed and I was like ok, it’s your painting. I’m glad I went back to fix her eye and hair, it made a big difference. The more I look at the painting from last week, to me it looked more like Princess Leia.
Happy Birthday Max!
I hope you, Sam and Harley are celebrating your birthday in style. I miss you everyday, until we meet again. I love you Max.
Another Project Completed
I did another project for the woman I painted the mural for last year. This one took some time because I had to paint her entire office floor black. There’s a few thing I might have to tweak but I can finally say it’s done. I’m happy she allowed me do all this work for her.
Rough Concept
I have this idea for a project that I’m finishing up this weekend. I hope this rough drawing comes out the way I wanted too.
Flashback of Jessica Rabbit
Here’s a drawing from November 2015 of Jessica Rabbit, you had a pretty good childhood if you remember her. This drawing was based off an artist called Mayumi Nose, she has a wonderful style. I think I posted this before but not with the video.
Old New Painting 2023
Using an old canvas to create something new. I know I painted this background a lot of late but I find it very peaceful, Zen like. Might fine tune it a bit but I think it is done.
Blame (The Lost Cruel Melody Video)
Usually this would go on my bands page but I wanted to share this version of Cruel Melody, probably for the last time. I’m happy that I got to finish this video. After editing it three more times, I can finally say it’s done.
Trying Something Out
I decided to use drywall compound on top of the canvas to paint. Normally you would load up the paintbrush with tons of paint and build it up but I was never good at doing so. I’m actually happy how it came out, it finally gave me the excuse to paint Frida. Amazing artist, she was ahead of her time. Painting with the compound was harder to do and I lost some features from Fridas face and hair.
Sketch Wallet Painting
I was happy to recreate this drawing from my old sketch wallet. I changed the background a bit and added an upper body to the lady. Now she’s not a floating head. 🤷🏽♂️
