Elstabo's Canvas

Due to some nonsense, I broke my drawing arm today. Yup broke it!. Not sure when it will be healed let along if it will heal at all!. Worst part is, I'm unable to create any work...and that for me is torture! I will make attempts in the mean time with the left, but it will be only to kill the boredom or to stop from killing myself.

This piece here is another addition to Aztec erotic art that I'm working on. Titled Witch Doctor..the female shaman is helping to suck the demons out of our poor infected princess... here's a step by step process of how I go about doing some of my illustrations. ( I have  habit of going over paintings I dont like any more) The grid process helps me fit everything into the space Im working in. once I have blocked in all the major colors in acrylic...I then finished the art work in Oil.. At the moment this painting is about 60% done..took about 7 hours. When I start the painting in oil, the mind set has to be different, since the paint needs to be handled differently. That will most likely be another 7- 8 hours..so in total, two sit ins.

so I was getting tired of having my loose canvas tossed in my studio corners...or in big ol bags... so I got some tools and put my carpenters hat on.. Ripped out some ugly cabinets that were on the wall..and made my self some space to put my canvas in.. took me about 4 hours to do..most of the work was just measuring things out..spent about 100 bucks on tools and screws.. the wood..I dug up in my shed...one of these days Ill paint all one color..but for now..Im glad to organize my work. next....maybe some stretched draws for my sheets of paper..
