Ghost ride the SHARK

Hey guys,

I just finished this piece hope you dig it! It was sketched out on paper and rendered in Photoshop. I am hanging up a few of my pieces at Neighborhood Grinds in Redondo Beach, CA. If you are ever in the South Bay you'll be able to spot this one! I will also make digital prints of this piece for Wondercon in March. Thanks for stopping by!

CARD SHARK

HI there!

I just started sketching up a new canvas piece that I'd like to paint. The plan right now is to get a handful of traditional art pieces done to sell at art shows/conventions this year. I like the start of this piece, I sat down and drew it while watching Sports Center haha! At least I'm being productive now when I watch TV! Anyway, I'm sure the piece will undergo some changes but I think it will turn out cool in the end. Stay tuned I should be starting to paint it within the next week or so! Thanks for stopping by

Harley Quinn Commission FINISHED!

Hey Guys,

Here it is! The moment you've been waiting for! The finished product! I just submitted it to the printer to get a nice high quality print for my client! Exciting! Anyway, I really hope you guys dig it! Unfortunately it will not be available for reproduction and is a one-of-a-kind piece. I will be honest this piece probably took me over 15 hours to complete.. sigh you can do so much with digital art! It is hard to stop yourself..

This piece was completely done all digitally in Photoshop using my trusty Cintiq monitor! It has been a long fun project but it is time to put it to rest and start some new stuff! I've got something worked up that you guys will probably dig! It is going to be an Alice in Wonderland piece! Alright I've said enough check back in later this week I should have some stuff to show you :)

Exciting news!! I just got another commission piece--the first one of the year! I'm really excited to work on this piece. Someone reached out to me asking for a custom Harley Quinn piece for his wife! I hope to get it to him by the end of next week! Just in time for Valentines day nice!

The finished piece will consist of Harley Quinn and her two hyena's! This piece will be 8.5 x 11" fully rendered! I'm going to pull out all the stops for this one and hope to make it a good one to gain some momentum this year!
