Road House Blues

Been way too long since I posted anything and seeing as I am about to get back into drawing with my hand being almost healed I thought i'd share a few paintings from a project that most likely wont be finished. It is so hard to go back and finish something that you haven't done any work on for months. The plan was to do a tribute to the 80s classic 'Road House'. I am still pretty happy with the Sam Elliot and the Marshall R. Teague is close to being finished as well. The Swayze was getting there but isn't as finished as the other 2. I have a half finished Double Deuce bar and a Kelly Lynch that needed more work but i'm not sharing them so forget I even mentioned them ok? good. Now check 'em out:

"Be nice until it's time to not be nice" If you havn't seen Road House the time to not be nice is now and you should go find your sorry self a copy and watch it! ...........Then watch it again.

The 4th Member of TESD is among us!

My finger is still broken so my art output has been nearly zero and my cintiq has been neglected however during the time I was in a short film which you will now watch buy clicking the video below.

Filmed by Russell Craig for his HSC film studies class. I'm coming for you Tom Cruise.

Even though my finger is broken and still hurts which is worrying to me at least I have started finally learning Illustrator and am really digging it. Working on a speed car project for PitStop Autos car 98 team which will be done hopefully by the end of this week. Preview:

Andrew McMahon Art

I was commissioned to do a painting of singer/songwriter Andrew McMahon. About 80% into the drawing I broke my finger :( so I am not entirely happy with it BUT my sister was happy with it and also the man himself loved it. Yes Andrew McMahon himself was given the artwork and signed another print and was very complimentary of it. Awesome!
Pictures below show the art and the Andrew with the art. Enjoy!

Stardust Genius

I've been enjoying this years G1 Climax so much I had to do a quick painting of my pick to win it Tetsuya Naito! He has been killing it since joining LOS INGOBERNABLES. His match with Tanahashi is a must watch and his twitter is a must follow.

Will have to do another one when time permits.

Hannibal: A Year Later

Almost a year ago to the day I drew Will Graham from the TV show Hannibal and as luck would have it I was commissioned by a wonderful person to draw Hannibal. I really enjoyed doing this one and am very happy with the outcome. Check it out.
 

My cintiq companion is still flawless! One of the best purchases I've made.EVER. So if you are wondering if you want to drop the dollary-doos and get one I can not recommend them enough.

Dexter & Depp

Finally did a drawing of my personal favourite TV character, Dexter Morgan.

The Dexter drawing was the last done on my 12wx Cintiq as I have upgraded to a Cintiq Companion which rules! I love the companion. The first painting I did on it is Johnny Depp from Secret Window. If you haven't seen that movie go and watch it now! Then buy a print off me ;)
