Surfing time

Here is the latest piece of surf art. I recently bought my first pad of arches paper. I got cold pressed and the divites are way to big. It is made for water color and since it it $30 for 16 sheets, its going to be a while before i get another.

Surfer Dude

This is most people's favorite piece to date. I kept drawing a crayon version of it with my daughter when she would ask me "daddy color!?"

Tiki Guy

Here is a cool Tiki Guy, same Surf art style. Drew it up as fast as I finished the first one!

Surf Art

 I realized that I love drawing waves and surfing and decided to try and freehand a Surf Scene. Came out really well. I found an artist named Drew Brophy and his style is changing my whole way of art.

Daddys girl

Its finally happened... "daddy...tattoos.... i want tattoos!" Mom left for some shopping and it was on. We started drawing on eachother until her legs were covered in pen sleeves! Then it was nap time...
She walked downstairs and said "daddy, what you doing?".. "painting"... her response " ohh, can i look?" ... sure. She grabbed a brush and i got out some water color and we spent the next hour painting pictures and all over eachother, until she says " daddy, paint my back too".. i love this kid.




Guy and gal

I have wanted to paint this traditional mustache guy for a while. When i saw this girl i knew it was a perfect match and i had just the frames for them.

Dancing Sugar Skulls

My wife and I have been really getting ino the 40's & 50's rockabilly style and thought this picture grabbed it well. I saw this as a black and white sketch on pinterest and decided to paint, color and give some background to it. The elbow came out funky, but whatever!


penguins

I was asked by my wife to paint a family of penguins for our friends who love penguins and just had a baby! I found a few different penguin sketches online and mixed them together to make this custom piece.
