Full Color Candy Corn



Here's the colored version. I'm actually really happy with how it came out.  I tried some different colors that I wouldn't usually use with the sky and I gotta say it ended up looking excellent.  My initial thought was to do a huge moon in the background, but I didn't. HOWEVER, I did save a version with some layers so I can try that out.  Maybe I'll post a variant of this piece with a moon.  hmmmmmmmm.  Anyway,  feel free to slap a comment on this bad boy and let me know what you think!
It will be hanging in the Halloween show at Tattoo Junkies, in Portsmouth.  The show got hung today but no word yet on when the opening is. Way to go Josh. 
But it's going to be awesome.  A can't miss opening. I'll post it here when I find out. Woo.

some Halloween candy



So here is a piece I'm working on for a Halloween show that will be hung this coming week.  Lots of big name artists will be a part of it. How big? Well I heard through the grapevine there's even going to be a work from NYC's own John Thomas in it. More info as I get it.
But yeah, I like how this one is coming out, and coloring it now. I'll post the colored version after too so we can compare and contrast them.
Because I know people dig that. 

And so it begins...

So I have had this thought in my head for a while now, that I needed to start some sort of webiste or blog site for my art.  I'm not sure why, I think maybe deep in my brain there is the idea that if i have something like this to display my art on, that I might get away from the stuff I normally do, FATSQUAD, and stretch my legs a bit in other realms. Not that the squad stuff is bad or anything but sometimes you just want a change of scenery. 
SO here we go.  We shall see how this little experiment plays out. Check back often because I'm sure I'll be posting like a madman.
OR...you'll never see another post from me again.
Those are really the only two ways this thing can go.
