Aqua...things
Beauty of The Aquatic
11 x 14 Inches
Ink and Watercolor
Finally finished with this painting!!! This is a gift for another wonderful friend of mine, I wasn't able to give to him on his actual birthday, but I wanted to make sure I did a good job on it. He's wanted a painting from me since the summer. Rendering it was kind of scary because I don't really do a lot of it in my paintings, especially with the backgrounds, but the result couldn't have turned out better. I used Iggy Azalea and UFFIE as references for the mermaids.

Unhappily In Love
Unhappily In Love
11 x 14 Inches
Ink and Watercolor
Behold, my painting for The Hive Gallery and Studios Feburary show “Hard Love” & “Lullabies & Nightmares” Children’s book illustrations", opening tomorrow at 8pm!!
Loved painting the blood and the explosion in the background (If you couldn't tell, sorry, I'm practicing rendering without a micron men), watching things with lots of blood and junk (RIN: Daughters of Mnemosyne, Tucker and Dale vs. evil, True Blood) really helped me get in the mood to paint this! I might try painting more violent things later, but for I have other stuff to catch up with.
See you on Saturday?

5 x 7 Inches
Ink and Watercolor
This piece was done as a birthday gift for a very good friend of mine, one of the first friends I made at Otis, and one of my besties, whether she likes it or not! I'm selling prints on Society6, but she'll of course have the original. Not using the micron pen to line the dress was a little difficult, but the result was worth it. I'll try to do more pieces with less micron pen in the future, it will be my new challenge.
Also, here are process photos:

Hard Love Show
Yep, another long overdue post; the holidays kind of took over and my only access to a scanner was closed for the past month.
ANYWAYS, I've only been sketching random things that past month, but these sketches going are to be a painting very, very soon! These are for "Hard Love", The Hive Gallery and Studios's Valentine's day show. My friend and fellow former Otis student, Alan Kocharian will be one of the featured artists there as well. The drawing at the top is a final-ish sketch, but I would be happy to hear suggestions from anyone on how to make it more "hard love"! The show is on Feb. 4th, I'll post more details soon.
PS,
Thinking of naming this, "Comfortable Tension" or something like that...
