This is the finished painting. It is in a
weird shape here due to the fact that
is the shape of the wood plaque it will
be mounted upon.

2009-10-08T07:18:00.000-07:00

Heavy black shading.

2009-10-08T07:17:00.000-07:00

This is the same sketch just outlined
in black.

2009-10-08T07:14:00.000-07:00

Here we have the initial sketch
I did for another wedding plaque.
This time it was for a Hot Rod Wedding.

2009-10-05T07:19:00.000-07:00

The finished plaque sealed and ready to be hung,

2009-10-05T07:15:00.000-07:00

Here we have the painting trimmed and mounted
on a custom wood plaque. Ready to be sealed
in liquid acrylic.

2009-10-05T07:12:00.000-07:00

Here is the finished painting prior to shaping
it to the plaque. The color pallet is not completely
traditional tattoo but I felt it needed blue and purple.

2009-10-05T07:09:00.000-07:00

Here we have the black and gray base shading. Also
known as spit shading. Heavy black with a fine feathered edge.

2009-10-05T07:06:00.000-07:00

Next I move to the outline. Depending if I'm in a rush or not
there are two ways I outline, with a brush or a black fine new Sharpie.
This was done with a sharpie

The Rooster Wedding Plaque

2009-10-05T07:00:00.000-07:00

First I start with the initial sketch-layout-composition. Here

2009-04-04T16:03:00.000-07:00

I like to start painting at the top left corner
to that my arm and hand won't smudge anything.

2009-04-04T16:02:00.000-07:00

As Usual I always start with the black shading
when doing traditional flash.

2009-04-04T15:59:00.000-07:00

With keeping with my style of Comic Book Super Heroes
and Traditional American Tattoo Flash I'm setting out
in a collage type of thing which is really quite interesting
a process to put together.

The Captain

2009-04-04T15:54:00.001-07:00

This is my third cover painting for Color- Ink-Book.
The Brothers Washburn have asked me to be there cover artist
for Color-Ink-Book a DIY art periodical, where as the
internal pages of the book are printed in blk and white
so the pages can be filled in by the user.

Red Flames

2009-01-09T11:50:00.000-08:00

I went with a Japanese style flames
just cause I think they look the coolest.
they lend more movement to the painting.

Black Shadeing

2009-01-09T11:49:00.000-08:00

Ghost Rider

2009-01-09T11:45:00.001-08:00

Well I've been asked to do another cover for Color-Ink-Book
and I thought what comic book character
legitimizes tattoo style more than Ghost Rider.

2008-12-12T11:32:00.000-08:00

This is a painting I'm doing for my Cousin
for Christmas.

2008-10-12T22:49:00.000-07:00

Here is the finished piece.
She was very happy when I gave it to her.

2008-10-12T22:47:00.000-07:00

Here is the second step as usual, the black
shading in tradition with early American
tattoo flash style.

The Joker

2008-10-12T22:41:00.000-07:00

Here is a quick idea I did for a friend of mine
Becky's Birthday present, she like the Joker.

Samurai Bat-Man

2008-09-02T22:02:00.001-07:00

This is the Second cover for Color-Ink Book.
I tried to depict Bat-Man in the first century
as a Samurai God.

2008-06-22T20:39:00.000-07:00

Here is the finished Cover Layout design.
They will also be featuring my Wonder Woman
painting inside the book. Can't wait to see the finished product.

2008-06-22T20:34:00.000-07:00

I never told the Washburn Brothers what
I was doing, they gave me complete creative freedom.
I thought it would be more fun to be surprised.

All in all they loved it which makes me happy. This was
my first cover feature and I just want to thats the Brothers Washburn
for the opportunity to share my art with an even greater audience.

Sacred Heart Iron-Man Watercolor Painting

2008-06-22T20:11:00.000-07:00

Recently a pair of brothers who call themselves
The Brothers Washburn contacted me about doing an
illustration for the cover of there upcoming issue of the Art Periodical
Magazine Color Ink Book. That they will be debuting at this
years San Diago Comic Con. They had seen my work on Etsy.com

I had about to weeks to finish the cover painting. Since Iron-Man is hot
right now I decided to take another go at it and do something original
and had some relevence to the tattoo design I would be setting it against.
and since Tony Stark has a bad ticker I thought the best way to go
would be the Traditional and every so classic Sacred Heart.

2008-05-01T21:58:00.000-07:00

Finally I'm satisfied with the final
results. I've been working on this
on and off for about three weeks,
thats including the two prior paintings that
turned out sub par. I usually finish a painting within
about two days, so it's been a long and great learning
process working on this particular painting. It's one
of my complete originals so I wanted it to be perfect.

2008-05-01T21:53:00.000-07:00

I can say allot for taking your time. Once
I excepted that and was patient with it
the process and the quality came through.
Especially with the Roses, I really like
the way they turned out. One this version I muddied
up the res and greens to give it an antique look.

2008-05-01T21:51:00.000-07:00

I'm kind of glad I redrew it three times.
Evey time I drew it I changed something
for the better, and this is the version
I was envisioning.

2008-05-01T21:47:00.000-07:00

Well here is the third version of the
Traditional Wonder Woman. I messed up the first

two versions by rushing them, I can't help it
sometimes I get excited to see it fiished.

Silver Surfer Color

2008-03-28T00:01:00.000-07:00

Well here it is, I tried some new techniques
for the background to make it more dynamic. I
kind of felt like a real painter while I was doing it.
