Sketch!!

Just a sketch for a future piece.
The is based on a Pinup by Olivia.
A sailor pinup titled "Red Sky at Night." A beautiful piece and I love the unusual pose of her legs as she's perched on a stool.

Divine

Morning,

Very early and can't sleep. So here is a small piece I did with pencil and watercolor.
Its a portrait of Divine. I hope to do more of him.

Today's work ...

Just a detail shot of todays work. Slowly working up her skin tone.
Pretty tricky, but my new technique will prove well in the end.

Sketch.

This sketch is for a painting titled, "Flipped and Tossled." Been running blank on lingerie designs for her to wear. Hopefully later tonight I'll figure something out.

Lana Del-Update..

So here is a sketch/study of Lana Del Rey ... I've been trying to portray her for a couple months now. Its tough, she's different from anything I normally paint.

The final maybe tweeked abit in minor details. I hope to start her soon, I love this part of the process. Where I'm wondering, "Can I do this?"  "How am I going to execute this?"
The thrill?

Late night art

It is very late ... early, early morning actually. I'm working on a new piece for a friend. He is very talented artist aswell. Mainly works in pencil & charcoals
He creates beautiful, realistic portraits.
This current project we are trading pieces. We've been admirers of each others work since high-school.
