Thursday Painting Time

A new gorilla painting...


A self-portrait for February...


Based on a short story by Isaac Asimov...

Painting two more

This week's back-page comic ad for my website in the Twin City's own City Pages. Keep your eyes peeled!





I've been painting a lot more than I've ever had since high school. Actual painting, not digital painting. So there are some new ones that I've started tonight/yesterday. The top one is an eventual self-portrait of sorts, and the bottom one is inspired by an Isaac Asimov short-story, "The Last Question." There's a third canvas ready to go, but I'll wait a few before I start on that one, too.



I finished the Gorilla painting tonight. I've decided to title it: "iGorilla."



I don't know who made this image, but I get a real kick out of it. So whomever did this, salut!

City Pages and Gorilla Painting

This week's City Pages back-page comic... Snowmen behaving badly...



The Gorilla painting is coming to an end I think. I'm pleased how he's looking so far.



I don't think I posted this; it's a video for Foot In The Door (see previous post), and I appear about 1:26 minutes into it. Enjoy!

Gorilla Evolution!

Cute, eh?

Gorilla Painting with Golden

I've been wanting to paint again for a long while, and this last week, I've started this painting. Here's what it's looking like right now. I need to work on the mouth, and of course, add pupils. Still a work in progress, mind you!



I've been painting with Golden™ Open Acrylic®, which is pretty neat. I don't pretend to understand the chemistry behind it, but this stuff takes a lot longer to dry! So I can take my time, and not have the metaphorical gun to my head of a quick drying time that acrylic usually means. (Though I'd never ever use Alizarin Crimson, if I can help it, this is a nice photo)



I've also been using Golden™'s fluid acrylics too. They paint like cream!

I'll take the time to write a better review of Golden™ paint in a later post.



Before I forget: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

New Decade, New Hair (Plus MORE Wet Paint Signs!)

We've started a new sale at work, and last weekend, it was slow enough to allow me to work on some major signage.













On the Linendoll's project, things move faster than I'm letting on. Tonight I finished the bottle six-pack holster. I've re-appropriated a six-pack of Paulander's Heffewiezen, which I feel has an elegant bottle shape, and a decent-size box.



Another part of the project is some keychains based on Hoogie and Stiff- they're finished, but I'm going to keep those close to the chest... :)



With a new decade comes a new haircut. I've never had my hair this short. Ever. And I'm liking it!
