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.

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.

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.

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.

I always do a rough before I tackle any drawing or painting.

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. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Sketch Wallet

My first attempt at the painting.

I smoothed it out in photoshop, I wanted to see how it would look digitally.

More Koozies!

I guess I’m having fun making these Koozies, even though they take some time. Now, I’m trying to focus more on originals but you have to throw in a Pikachu here and there. Just like my band, focusing on our originals songs but you have to slip in a cover ever once in a while. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The Mural Continues

I finally finished my biggest mural to date. I’m really happy how it turned out. I’m glad the mural became this massive project, hopefully more to come.

Pennywise to Grogu

I use to make custom koozies because my friend thought it would be a great idea for me to make and sell them. I think you know how this story goes, I made the koozies and my friend forgot all about the “great idea.” I have another buddy that wanted some for his kids craft fair so I decided to fine tune and cover some up. Now I know why I didn’t like making these, they take too long because the koozies eats up the paint. Oh well, its fun to see how fast I can turn these around and it gives me a little break from the third half of the mural. Recharge my creative side.

Pennywise becomes Grogu

Skeletor becomes something beautiful.

Robocop to a Unicorn

Rough Concept

I want to add some leafs around the top part of the shed and make it shorter. Still undecided if I want to add another tree or not. Still in the early stages on this side of the mural.

My Fourth Chicago Marathon

Finished my fourth marathon, all the marathons I ran were tough but this one really hurt. It didn’t help that I broke my toe two weeks ago and I rolled my ankle pretty bad in June. Even though I ran a couple minutes faster this year compared to last year, the important part is that I finished.

Random Sketches

I took a break from the mural this week, well I ran out of paint and I’m just waiting for a new batch to come in. Until then, I did some random drawings until my paint comes in.
