Ghostface Killah

Evey Hammond

Still working on it. I have a hard time finishing stuff.

I've seen better days . . .

This is a piece I started about a year ago . . . I decided to take it to the next level and beyond . . . I'm in the middle of about 10 paintings right now, so there will be plenty to share here soon. I'm going to keep this painterly, get tight where it needs it, but to my eye and taste, I like things to be a bit brushy . . .

Update on Prints for Sale!
It was brought to my attention that I forgot to mention that the prints I have for sale on Etsy are Limited Edition of 200 Prints. Each print will be signed and numbered, once sold out, that's it!

I'm at Wizard World Comic Convention for the rest of the weekend!

Here's a pic of me and Imaginism Studio's Peter Chan at our booth at Wizard World Chicago. Today I'll be busting out some acrylics and painting a little, so if your there or in the area, stop by booth 3504 and say hi. I'll of course be selling my books and DVD as well as some new Giclee prints.

I'll post some newish art tomorrow!

I thought I'd put this one up here. This is a kiwi politician of no particular importance. Fun to draw though. 

RIP Michael Jackson

i could write for hours about how much i love Michael Jackson and his music, so all i will say is RIP and thank you.

Simon

This is Simon from Narok, Kenya. I had been in Africa for three days but when I met Simon I had only been in Narok one night and a morning. I was still nervous about the whole Africa thing but this guy really put me at ease - at least while I was at his place. I mean how can this face be anything but comforting? He ran an outdoor bar that was surrounded by tropical plants and stuff so it looked kind of nice in probably the poorest city I've ever been in. Narok has a good amount of people in it to not have any paved roads (besides the one leading to it). When Luke and I arrived here he had us out two beers and a little appetizer. This would be the last beer I had for about two weeks. Man it was good. It was like a little oasis. Luke gave him a New Testament Bible the previous year and he had become a minister in the year since we were there. I thought that was pretty cool - a minister/bartender. I think he felt like there wasn't any better place to preach than the bar.

This is us sitting at the little oasis.

Lil Wayne

Rihanna

not much to say about this one, wanted to try some different stuff and REALLY wanted to paint that hair

Jerry Sandusky

Jerry is a former coach for the Penn State Nittany Lion football team. A while back I met a woman who works with the Second Mile program. She ask me if i would be interested in doing a caricature of him for a benefit auction. So here is what i came up with. I hope someone buys it. The auction is part of the Charity Golf outing and happens a week and a day from this post. If it is bought, i will be sure to post the information.

2 more finished...

The first is a painting of actor Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles from the movie "Ray". The second is of one of my favorite rappers of all time, Eminem.

All About Soul - Billy Joel

Been wanting to do this for one a long time. Had so much fun working on this piece.

Benecio...

I'd not visited this blog for a while - so it's been really cool to see all the new work here!
