Still working on the Chimps, but I have a lot of ideas that I can't wait to get to - vector art, t-shirts, and mostly a web-site that will be up and running and a place to purchase my art!

I am giving myself a couple more weeks - hopefully some weeknights - to finish these Takeover Chimps.
Loving it.

Takeover Chimps is almost done (working title)!

I just have a number of details to finish up and then it will be done!
My masterpiece!
:)

CHIMPS! Hurts is done... Have to finish the other!!

One more in progress.

Progress.

Heading to the studio to paint more monkeys! Ahem, chimpanzees.

Something different - can't wait to continue!

Don't know where this is going exactly! But I like Chimps in Space suits!

Beginning of a new Painting

Background to a new painting. Work in progress!

Not great, but PROGRESS and EXPERIMENTATION

Forgot to post the finished work!

Here is the final FOX!

Fox Progress

I think I have finally cracked my color code on my fox. Oh, I have maybe painted him six times, both interior colors and outlines. There is something to be said for just doing this (or the prelim) in Illustrator or on the computer.  But something that can't be done is the painterly technique that I decided to brave and try on the fur. I start with the undercoat of the dulled orange and put the firey yellow on top, letting the orange peek through in areas.  I've finished the face so far - and more to come.  Here are some photos of the fox in progress with some different colors. You can also see how the face has slightly changed over time.

 

My First Publication

And hopefully not my last! Adelante Magazine was kind enough to interview me and publish some of my artwork.
