Day of the Dead Man and Woman

Wanted to make 2 pictures to go side by side for the family Room wall. Made in April 2011. Inspired by Jason Lambert

Day of the Dead Skull

After observing pieces my artist idol Jason Lambert, my wife said I should paint a "day of the dead" skull. You know me, I'll take any challenge that comes my way, so that is what I did... and this is the result. I really like how it came out. I used the water color tray again, I figured "why mess up a good thing?" I have had such success recently, I feared going back to liquid.

The blue was a pain, it didn't come out very well in the picture. Also, be kind your judgment of the black eye shading, it kept getting wet and lightening up (this was 3 coats of black). I decided to put my name in the background, and figured what the heck, and threw C.A.'s name in there too! I think I may be doing more "day of the dead" theme paintings in the near future... it reminds CA of "Little Big Planet"! holla if your an LBP fan! Until next time... Remember Your Death!

Tattoo Style Drawing

My fist attempt at a rose and Japanese clouds (which are very hard to draw!)

A Skull (dedicated to the brothers of SOS)

A Rose (after much more shading practice) and ball point outline

Sparrow

I always wanted to draw a Koi Fish, also my first attempt at drawing water. This image came out of a "history of tattooing" book, this was tattooed on a old Japanese guy

I did this dragon without looking at my paper almost, i just followed my hand with my eyes as I stared at the picture because there were so many lines. I love this dragon head. My wife insisted I stop stretch my ability and make my own dragon body... not too good!

Sitting outside one day, felt colorful and copied a bird, then just decided to sketch around it. people like this one!
