Jellyfish sunset
I finished this piece a while ago, but due to my new baby, new home and new job, I have been busy! My next step is to figure out how to begin selling my art online, either on this blog or a link to etsy or other. I have had numerous artist share that I should begin selling so that is what I shall do! Wish me luck and please keep up with all of my new art work!

Jellies and sunset
Working on my biggest piece yet and stoked. I was inspired at the surf art expo in va beach and pulled out my canvas i had been saving for a rainy day. Here it is after putting all the color on. Have a few hours of detailing and lines still before i can call it a masterpiece

Mural painting
For the past year, there has been an outline of a potential mural on this wall of my friend's youth group room. The artist made a quick paint through but it ended up looking ...half done. Jp2 looked like a cancer patient, Mary looked like well... Not sure and the background was tragic. He asked me to come add some life to it.
I added color to jp2 and gave some good shading, gave Mary a nose job and a chin and most of all, we through up a great background to make the painting pop. For only a few hours of work, it came out great. My goal was not to redue the mural, just help what was there come to life.

Board and wave
Inspired by one of brorad's paintings with a girl in the center. I thought it would look great to put a surfboard in the middle with some flowers.
Gemmas baby tattoo
Gemma wanted her baby colored after she colored mommys belly. Haha. She was very excited to pick out the colors.
Bullseye cup
A friends asked if i could paint a picture of a WWII image on a coffee mug. I traced the cup and blew it up and painted it with spit shading. I am happy with the way it turned out and so is he.
Flowers and waves
Well. I want to sell my paintings at the stockely art festival in may and realized i better get moving. I wanted to offer a more artistic, colorful and simple piece. So i drew a hibiscus and a psychedelic plant and a cool wave to connect them. I love the colors. Some recommendations were to do a different season for each and make 4 different ones. The pictures sync up almost too well. We decided it may be cool to put them together backwards
