R.I.P. Prince

I'm Still kind of shocked at the news about the passing of Prince.  Prince was an extraordinary talent in my opinion and will be greatly missed by all of his fans.  He has always been a fun subject for me to caricature because of his many different looks and wardrobe choices.  I loved that he fought hard for creator rights, a battle that artist should always continue to bring awareness to.  Below is another caricature I did of Prince from the Purple Rain album cover and movie poster.  My condolences to his family , friends , and fans the world over. Rest In Peace Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016).  Thanks for stopping by, Enjoy!!!!!!

Spawn

I recently completed this Spawn commission piece for a friend and fellow tattoo artist (huge Spawn fan).  For those that may not know, Spawn is a fictional character, an anti-hero that appears in a monthly comic book of the same name published by Image Comics as well as annual compilations, mini-series specials written by guest authors and artists and numerous cross-over story-lines in other comic books. Created by writer/artist Todd McFarlane, the character first appeared in Spawn #1 (May 1992). Spawn was ranked 60th on Wizard magazine's list of the Top 200 Comic Book Characters of All Time, 50th on Empire magazine's list of The 50 Greatest Comic Book Characters and 36th on IGN's 2011 Top 100 Comic Book Heroes.  I believe I have the first 50 or so issues all bagged and boarded and then a bunch of other issues that I picked up throughout the years. Being a fan myself (not as big of a fan as my friend), this was a fun project for me to work on.  Below is the finished piece followed by a few progress shots. Also if you haven't had the chance yet, head on over to the Threadless site and vote for my Heavy Metal magazine cover submission, there is only 3 days left to vote.  Score my image HERE.  Thanks for stopping by, Enjoy !!!!

Orangutan

I had a good time painting this Orangutan and playing around with different textured brushes.  After seeing the trailer for the new Jungle Book movie I felt like painting this guy.  I find it funny that actor Christopher Walken is the voice of king Louie.  The character Maurice from The Planet Of The Apes was also one of my favorites. In other news, I entered a Heavy Magazine cover contest recently.  If you have a chance please vote for my image, which I have attached below and help spread the word for me.  You can vote HERE. There is only 5 days left to vote for me, so make sure and head on over.  The image I submitted to the contest is below also.  Thanks for stopping by Enjoy !!!!

Bruce Lee

Here is another Bruce Lee caricature I did.  A good excuse to try out some new textured brushes I am messing with.  I really like the Impasto effect that they are achieving.  I decided to keep this loose and not over render.  I like the loose painterly style.  Below is a work in progress shot with a bit of a close up to show off some of the brush strokes.   Prints available Here. Thank for stopping by, Enjoy !!!!
