Untitled

The original concept was completed in 2023 and I was never fully happy with it. Glad to take another crack at it and develop it into a piece I can be proud of.

Here's what's currently cooking in the kitchen.

In an attempt to keep up with engagement online I rushed a concept and ended up hating the result. I decided to revisit it two years later and give it new life. Here's a look at hashing out the original and giving it new life. Music: AFI - The Interview

Hands are not my strong point. In fact, nothing makes me want to throw hands more than drawing/painting them, but here I am, doing things that make me uncomfortable.

Slowly chipping away and incorporating new elements. About 90% down now.

You might be thinking: "just how long is this guy gonna work on this?" The answer is, "Yes". I decided to pivot with this bird, preserving just its head and starting over from scratch.

Currently nestling this guy right into the heart of my painting.

Spent more time than I would have liked on adding in this rose, but it was definitely worth it! Swipe to see how this painting has progressed.

It's been a minute, but we're cooking again!

Took a good amount of time off from this to focus on other things. Hopefully I can continue to find more time to keeping working on it.

Had some fun with this little guy and felt that artistic spark again, which I haven't felt for a few months now

Slow going here and still fighting art block and the energy to keep working on this.

Still chipping away at this when I get a chance.

Lately I've been struggling with what every artist inevitably faces, "artist's block." In the past I've let it get to me and cause months to years of without picking up a pencil. I'm doing my best to fight through it and keep creating, even if I'm not excited about it, and even if it means focusing on simpler concepts. 

This is a reimagining of a painting I did in 2010 that I've always wanted to revisit. The original can be seen here.
