All of the following canvases are 16" x 20".
Smoking Frida isn't really new. I painted it a couple months ago-or longer. But I haven't photographed her yet.

I painted this Frida Saturday afternoon. Callies jokes around that I am going to wind up painting more portraits of Frida than Frida did. That's the goal. Just joking. Maybe.
Just finished this one last nite around 10 or so. The canvas was left over from Blue Dome and I had only completed the background spray painting. So after rummaging around in the closet for a canvas that already had a background done (to save time. I hate having to wait while the base coat dries...When you have an idea to paint it begins to lose its spark while waiting for the base paint to dry....), found this one and thought a chandelier would compliment it quite nicely.
I have really been inspired my Mike Giant lately thanks to Mark for introducing me to him. He creates art with a sharpie (he even has his own brand of Sharpie markers...!) So I decided to give Sharpie only art a try. This canvas was another left over canvas from blue dome. So I thought this cow really popped off the solid hot pink. And took no time at all. I think pre-priming canvases is the way to go from here on out...
Detail shot of the cow. I think I am going to go back on the "cut lines" and thicken them up. They almost disappear.
Mike Giant's gorgeous girl. I was really bummed when I stumbled upon this girl and she is not in print anywhere. I really wanted a poster or shirt...something. But there wasn't anything like that. So I decided to draw her in true Mike Giant style-with only a sharpie.
Good Lord. I don't know how he does it. After two hours of carefully drawing her out I was in a Sharpie coma almost. And had to put her down. But hopefully I will finish her soon. No gloves on mine. Wasn't crazy about them. But we shall see.
Ryan isn't new either... But he had yet to be photographed. So I threw him in the pile while I was snapping away.All and all a pretty good weekend. We went to Old Navy and scored on some sweet clearance clothes. I got an arm full of 2.99 shirts. I am thinking about going back to get some to screen on.

Be honest, how high were you from the sharpie fumes? Your shit is rockin.
That chandelier is fucking awesome! Do you show your work anywhere around Tulsa?
You should read the Interview with Mike Giant in Juxtapoz from a few months ago. He explained his process, i don't remember what it is but i remember being impressed. I do remember that if he makes even one mistake he doesn't try to incorporate it into the design, he scraps the piece and starts over. Bad azz.
