pet portrait flyer

Here is a flyer to promote my pet portrait work it was done in photoshop and was one of the main reasons I did the painting of Jedi my dog. Sorry I haven't had as many posts lately I've been busy with this flyer and my grunge postcard set! More artwork soon I promise!

weimeraner (Jedi) painting in progress 2

Here the progress on my weimeraner painting. Layer after layer after layer but it's getting there. Still have some more detail to do in the face and then I'll try to fade it all together so it's concise.

weimeraner (Jedi) painting in progress

This has been a challenging painting so far and I've still got a lot of work to do. All the blending and different acrylic colors are what is taking so long. The painting is turning out well and am looking forward to hanging it on my wall. I really enjoy painting pet portraits.

william wegman eat your heart out

This is my newest painting that I've just started of my dog Jedi. The breed of the dog is a weimeraner hence the william wegman title. Although that's not what I'll call the painting. These are very passionate and people loving dogs with tons of energy. In fact I think Jedi believes he is a human. You'll always find him lounging in chairs, sofas or beds, hiding under covers, or even under your bed. I've also added the reference pic of Jedi so that you can see what I'm working off of.

Chris Cornell painting version 2

The Chris Cornell painting didn't flow with the other grunge paintings that I had done and I also wasn't totally happy with the turnout. Since I finished the series of grunge paintings I'm going to begin work on getting the paintings put on postcards for a set which will be for sale on my website. The changes that I made are the following: changed background color, fixed the hair and the face. I've included the previous photo of the painting so you can see the changes.

I would also like to give credit again to linda aversa for letting me use a photo of hers which was the main reference for the painting. You can view her photography at www.lindaaversa.com

fiona apple drawing

Finished the Fiona Apple drawing that has been in progress for a long time. It probably took about 6 to 10 hours total to finish. I used a reference pic that I believe was from entertainment weekly.
