Little bit of fun

I haven't posted in a while and to be honest I'm wondering the necessity of this blog. But here are some quick oils I've done recently. I have some Legends of Norrath and WoW oils to maybe post but those may still be under contract hold. Plus they weren't all that good anyway and required a lot of digital touchups. These on the other hand were for fun so they don't have to be good. Each took about an hour give or take. I was watching a movie while painting each one and I finished each before the movie ended.

Oh and vote for my new design I submitted to threadless.com. It's a revision on an old design I did.

New WoW proofs

I just got some proofs from Blizzard today. They are Power Word: Absorb, Stained Shadowcraft Cap, Camouflage, and Hammer of Retribution. If you want a signed proof or original art let me know. The original oil painting of Hammer of Retribution is available for purchase as well.

Killin' time

I seem to never finish an oil painting. Digital, that's different because its mostly work. Oil paintings on the other hand are supposed to be fun and when it stops being fun I stop painting. Here are some 1-2 hour oil doodles I did this last week. That thing with the leather jacket is supposed to Joey Ramone which was 3-4 hours. I was watching the Dark Knight and a little of Unforgiven at the time so I can't clock it exactly. I can't bring myself to take it any further because it feels like a velvet painting joke now.

More from the zoo

My scanner doesn't seem to like my zoo sketches too much. Everything comes out blurry for some reason. Here's last weeks batch. I might post some oil studies next.

Some lions and a gorilla

I haven't posted any zoo sketches in a while. I've decided to do the less is more approach and just do one or two sketches per zoo trip instead of drawing bundles of them. Here are some recent ones from the past two weeks.

Saturday Evening Cartoons

RIP Macho Man Randy Savage.

Shriek Raptor

I don't know what happened to my other posts I did yesterday. Something weird must have happened to blogger.com. Anyway, I got some new proofs in the mail today. If you want one signed or original art...blah, blah, blah

Something Old

I don't think I ever got proofs of this card but a fan asked for me to sign this card a few days ago so it must have been printed. I guess its safe to post it now. I remember while painting this I was trying to channel the cover art from the toy of that one character in G.I.Joe that had a rottweiler. I forget the name...

I think the art looks better on the card.

New Proofs

I just got some new proofs from Blizzard so I guess these are seeing print. Anyone wanting a signed proof or original art send me an email.

Personal Study

Here's a study I did yesterday based off a photo my sister took. I liked the composition which felt kinda Rockwell to me. I have yet to capture the magic that the photo has. Its still wet so I might try to take it farther.

Newest WoW seeing print.

I got some proofs from Blizzard so I guess these are seeing print. The original oil of the Bloodies Arcanite Reaper is available for purchase.

Mirrodin Besieged card set

Here's some more art that I did for the Mirrodin Besieged card set. Signed proofs are available for purchase.

Lead the Stampede

I found out that another one of my pieces is seeing print soon. This was for the Mirrodin Besieged card set.
