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

Another day

Just another day at the beach. You car, your board choices and your babe. Im starting to realize that i dont like putting people in my pictures. It makes it look like a cartoon. One of my friends said they like the ones without people because it is easier to enter in to the scene.. He said "back off, thats my wave"!

Va beach summer

Wanted to make a scene of the boardwalk in the summertime. I realized half way through that i wasnt going to be able to fit enough detail in the picture. The tourists in the sand and getting burnt. The sandcastles and girls on the beach. The weirdos on the boardwalk an shark out lurking.. I may do this again on a bigger canvas

Drew style

Went for an all out drew brophy style piece to see how my skills have grown. Im very impressed with my shading skills these days.

Family wave

This is a dream i have that i want to do with my family. Take a lifeguard board out and watch the sunset. And when your in va beach, that is a very achievable goal! Found a pic of a family on a board on pinterest and traced it and threw in my own background. The guy came out a lil pudgy and the faces are a bit off. But the concept is awesome. I may do a silhouette one later

Lip break

Found a cool picture of a wave breaking at sunset and wanted to capture it with poscas. Came out okay, its a more realistic take than what im used to

Sunrise session

All i could think of was blacks beach in san diego, early morning checkin the surf.

Pray for surf

Out here in virginia beach, there are no waves. The phrase of all my surf friends is... Pray for a hurricane! I say ill just "pray for surf".

The 3 birds

What do all these birds have in common? Wanted to make a fun loud picture with the fire of the phoenix and coolness of the peacock meshing together in almost a yin yang and the pelican as the neutral middle. Excited that it is my first non surf art piece but i miss doing waves and boards so it will be a while before i stray again.
