Blog Overhaul

So basically I'm going to be doing some spring cleaning to this blog, to make it more of a professional one. Yes, I have my portfolio to be professional, but basically it's just a hop skip and google search away to this one. So, from here on out you can find my weird posts over at 3 AM octopus, because I'm going to only do art related stuff on this blog now.

Seriously this time, too. I'm going to focus the blog. Finally. Focusing the blog...focusing the blog...

Color testing

I just can't decide which one. Of course, I'm leaning blue...

New Painting only 30% done

So James thinks that it looks like her butterfly hat is eating her.

Is this a bad thing? Anyways, soon to have a portrait painted for the face.

Possibility?

Actual Illustration

This totally happened to me once, stuck in the worst venue of my life with the worst singer of my life and an accordian for 2 hours.

Yes, I'm still illustrating. I found out ppl seem to like my humour stuff. In fact, this is now a Halloween card at Etsy!

LOL this blog is a joke

I never post art in here anymore! This blog has turned into such a joke!

Really, it's because I'm busy. I'm doing large scale peices that are 3 foot by 2 foot and I've never done anything that big before--well other than that 10 foot mural but it deosn't count because it was black and white housepaint. I took a picture of one for you. It's still super unfinished and I hate the color I'm putting in for the sky--I'm going to change that.

Case you're wondering about the deeper meaning of a landscape of a california condor painting a landscape: I decided to make it based on artistic creativity and it's relationship with creation and destruction (in this case, destruction embodied in extinction.) There's more meaning behind it. I kind of make up meaning as it goes, youknow? So long as I have something to tell the San Jose indies when they drop by.

I'm currently trying to save a struggling image which has a whole womb + egg visual going on (it's not phallic, don't worry. you wouldn't even notice unless I pointed it out to you) but it has this random portrait in it that is done so well technically I don't want to erase it. But lo, here it goes: I'm going to erase it...
