a painting, a sketch & a sale.

its meaning fades
acrylic on canvas, 8x10.
This was commissioned by someone awesome who told me to just paint anything.


This was bound to happen...
In other news, I'm having a small sale at my Etsy shop. A couple of prints are on clearance, as well as some Halloween drawings. Some paintings have been reduced pretty low, too. So check that out!

october!

I'm not dead! Here's a sketch!Haven't had as much time as I would like for Halloween artworks, what with school and its sinister time-sucking properties, but I am cooking up some small special things I hope to finish soooooon.

creepy crawly.

one, two, three.

tea, chalk, pens + ink on watercolor paper

a sketch + AHHHHHHH + etsy stuff

I was working on my piece for the Drawgasmic show I mentioned a couple posts ago, but something was feeling very off about it, and I couldn't fix it. So I just started it over. Everything is better now. Tonight, we ink.

Yesterday I went to a used furniture store in town to see what they had in the way of couches. The place had a hobo kind of smell to it. Most of the sofas were threadbare or covered in interesting stains and ridiculously overpriced. But! The trip was not for naught. This dummy was in an upstairs back room that I probably wasn't supposed to go in, and it was creepy as all getout. So there was that.

In other news, these here paintings...
...are now up for sale at my Etsy. I'm trying to get rid of as much as I can before I move, so I'll be listing more things in the near future as well. I'm also very trade friendly so if someone had, say, a couch or a scary dummy they would give me in return for a bunch of paintings, I would probably be into that.

painting in progress + sketches

Yes, I'm aware that a lot of people have done this before me, and no, I don't really care. I guess there are just some things a monster movie fan has to do. I did the watercolor/ink version of this a long time ago, but messed it up. I've been meaning to redo it ever since. The time for that is now.

A couple o' recent sketches. The time for more spiders is also now.

I used a picture of a brown recluse as reference for the spider there. Brown recluse spiders don't weave spiral orb webs, but let's just pretend they do. I'm probably going to paint it blue or something anyway so whatever.

website + sketches

pray for brains: a little website I threw together. It's temporary until I can afford to get a domain and have the time to actually design something myself. I'm not incredibly fond of template sites, but this'll do for now. I want my own little corner of the web again, away from community and networking sites.

First sketches of 2010!







These last two will be paintings in the near future!

small end-of-the-year sketchdump

Tonight will be spent with family and John Carpenter movies. Enjoy yourselves and take care.
