Francis Bacon pt. I Raw Sensations

According to the art market, Bacon is the most successful dark artist ever. He's the guy to point to when people say "you're talented but maybe you'd be more successful if you painted prettier thin...

Choir Sweeties "Alto" Tier| Painting Timelapse

Painting Timelapse for the Alto Tier Sweetie.

Happy April 21st

I'll get back to doing more happy days posts eventually.

Francis Bacon|Art Life and Lives

My face is twisted into a horrific scream (of excitement) because this month we're talking about Francis Bacon.

New work time

I’m making a piece to submit for a show. I did this study for it.

I’m realizing I have a bunch of work from the cave sketches. Seems weird to just do all that for just one painting. So I�...

Choir Sweeties "Soprano" Tier| Painting Timelapse

The Timelapse video of the "Soprano" Tier Sweetie. One lucky choir member will own this as part of the giveaway.

I'm in the mood to experiment with different ways of making these shor...

"Softly With You" Disfiguring the Goddess Album Art| Painting Timelapse

Timelapse of the piece I made with music from the album. I think I'll made another video with another song from the album for the studies and maquette I made for this piece.

The Song is Calle...

Enrique Serrato: A Life Amongst Art

I've been scrambling for the past hour or two to find something to post and I'm just simply between projects right now.

So I started looking in my folder labeled "in case of sickness," which ...

Drawing as thinking| Cave Walkthrough I: Sketching

In this video I work on my initial thumbnail/rough sketches that I did for the Cave while I talk about how to use sketching as a pre-verbal brainstorming stage.

Have Fun

Goodnight Swee...

Grotesque Portraits from Yesterday

I set up at the Dark art Emporium for the Artwalk. They were also doing their grand re-opening at their new location. They told me I could do this for the Artwalk every month. It's the week after t...

The Cardinal

Just about done except for the signature.

I haven't posted progress shots of this one in a while. I've really been chipping away at him the past few nights.

Last time I posted him I ha...

Masters of Lines: Egon Schiele and Ralph Steadman

As I said before, the lines an artist uses will inform the character and emotion of their art.

So look at different artists you like and specifically notice and try to identify the types of l...

Thinking in Lines

This is from an older Intro to Drawing Bad Art Video in written form using some new graphic references.

In a drawing there are many different kinds of lines to consider. Using a variety of th...

Self Portraits-March Prompt Submissions

Starting with mine this month. I am going to start trying to use these prompts as a way to paint stuff just because. I've done a lot of the prompts that developed more into finished work. But I lik...

New Prompt!

I hope this artwork suggests that you can make them as creepy and realistic or as abstract and cute as you want. Or anything in between.

As always, all mediums and styles are welcome.

Shipping out the first free paintings!

A year ago when I started the choir I did these watercolor and gouache paintings for the artwork for the tiers.

I’m giving them away to the first people who sustain their subscr...

New Patreon Pitch video

Finished my pitch video. My brain feels fried, my neck and shoulders hurt.

My last pitch video just didn't represent what I was doing in here. Or at least trying to do in here. So I revamped...

Grotesques from last night

Trying to remember to as “what’s your name?” Before I start painting them. And to get a picture at the end of it.

New Patreon pitch video progress!!

I’ve been working my little buns off making a new patreon “pitch” video. Here’s a rough edit of it.

I’ve found that every video I make is only as good as the fun that I have making...

Let's Vote!

New Month, New Prompt! I'll choose the winner in a couple days and announce soon. Some are just copied and pasted from an ongoing list I have of suggestions. Just a reminder you can always send me ...

Grotesque Watercolor Demo

I'm going to be doing more of these live paintings this week to try and bring in some money. So I decided to film myself doing one.

Choir member Joanne was brave/kind enough to send some pict...

One week left!

Prompt submissions due next week!

I’m enjoying going more abstract for mine and treating these prompts more as a way to just paint for fun.

Happy April 1st everybody

Happy Ap...

Can I paint you for a demo?

Making some progress on the Grissaille front.

Here's a picture of the model I'm working from. For this one I'm just painting it from life. So I have this model set up and lit and I just look ...

How to get a Choir Painting!

I just updated the artwork for the Choir Tiers. One of these paintings could be yours!

If you joined the choir this year you are eligible to win the painting that corresponds with your membe...

Finally getting to work on this one

If you remember I had a mini meltdown involving this idea back in November. That kind of spurred on all this sculpting models for reference and all.

I'm finally getting back to it.

I w...

Self Portrait in Progress

Fittingly for my birthday I'm working on this self portrait.

For this piece I'm going a little looser and more abstract.

I did do a fairly accurate sketch of myself first getting all th...

Weird references I made for the choir paintings

These are the Frankenstein versions-or Frankenstein (Young Frankenstein Reference that only works when I say it outloud.)

These are just the maquettes that I made photographed with the lighti...

just about done with this puppy

A few more little details probably. But the next time you see her it will be the scanned and color corrected image.

This was a wild color pallet for me.

"Permanent Violet Dark" (Golde...

The Whole Choir

Just about done with these guys. Keeping them mounted to a board like this for a couple days and seeing if I want to add anything.

Happy March 25th Everybody

It's my friend Jazmine's ...

Almost done with the Choir paintings

Added the butterflies on this one. Now I'm going to put all 4 of these Choir paintings next to each other and add small little details as I see fit.

Happy March 24th Everybody
