Which I did have a blast!.

Caught up with my Baltimore family of friends and spent a wonderful time with my Little girl for her birthday, shooting monsters and racing speed boats at the arcades..Perfect birthday party I think!



So I was aproached by Artdeckco.com to create some art on a skate board for May show that they are planning on. They want the artist to document the process so here is a first look at what I am planning to do. A leather wearing hottie with a chained spike ball being dragged.

 
There are other projects I have in the works, but you going to have to come back and find out about later .. :)

So a few days ago..what I thought was a client...reached out to me when he found me on #thumbtack a website that caters to artist. The guy gave me a sob story about being in a hospital as a cancer victim, and that he was moving out of the U.S. and wanted to get his wife a birthday gift for their anniversary. yada yada yada.... he sends me a check I got the check with in a few days of sealing the deal...Fedex- ed to my house!

[oil painting 20x24 on canvas] Making up a character is a great feeling, but not as great as creating its supporting cast. And in my art work, having sexy delights in front of viewer, lets everyone share in the fun. This painting took about a week from concept to finish.
