New things!

I've been super busy these last 2 weeks. Lots of new, smaller drawings to get my output up and get more engaged with developing my ideas regarding the pixellated stuff. On the 29th I posted a picture of some of the new drawings to my facebook group :

Clockwise from top left: Digital Camera, Personal Photos, Couple, Aunt Jemima, Sigourney Weaver, MS Landscape, and Ghost (Marky)

I've also made a few new realistic paintings for Donna Van Gogh's, an artist market in nearby Candler Park. I'm pretty pleased with the newest paintings:

Polaroid
Acrylic on canvas
8x8 inches

Phone
Acrylic on canvas
8x8 inches

I've been limiting my palette quite a bit with the last two still lifes I've done for Donna's, usually limiting myself to black, white, gray, a pair of complimentary colors, and a single accent color. The results are much more solid in terms of color unity and it's nice to see how you really don't need every color to be involved in a painting in order for it to be successful. However, I want to keep pushing and see if there isn't come middle ground where I can get just a little more color going on amongst disparate objects.

I also sent some prints to an art sale at the University of Alabama to help out my friend Brandi. Brandi writes so incredibly well that I am going to make this entire sentence a link to her blog to convince you to go discover her quality writing as well; I'm also going to use a semi-colon and bold the whole thing just so I have as much semantic mass as possible.

A month ago I finally sat down and completed a new tshirt design for the folks at 2k Tshirts. I call it "Killa Ghostface":

If you can tell me what objects the ears are mainly made of, I will give you a prize.

Even better news, I got an email from them this past weekend confirming they want to print and sell this design on their shirts! Yes!!! To be honest, that won't likely be for a few months, but in the meantime you are welcome to check out what I've already published through them on my 2K artist profile.

This week, I'm working on more drawings, paintings, and GUNS for the upcoming holiday season! And if you're in the Atlanta area on Friday evening, some see some of my work in a show at the Archive Gallery's new space. I'll be there too if that makes it a little more enticing for you ;)

Finally, I'm working on making some of my pieces available as prints and skins for iPhones n' such in my Society 6 Store. It's pretty lean in there right, now, but I'll be sure to bring updates to your attention; never fear!

Thanks for reading! More soon!
