New 2011 calendar

Hey everyone, :)

I now have a new 2011 calendar available on my zazzle store for anyone who is interested. It features high -res close-ups of some of my best work as well as a new painting not yet posted in any of my galleries.

Thanks for your visit! :)

New work-in-progress titled "Embrace"

Hey everyone, :)

Here is an image that I'm currently working on that I started last week. It's still very rough and needs a whole lot of work. So far though, the process is flowing for me and I am happy with the way it's coming along. I want this image to be very sexy, warm and romantic (and yes I am going for a bit of a romance novel cover style) ;).

I may make a lot of changes to it like the clothing for example. I want to look at some reference material for the type of clothing that I want to create for them.

Aside from working on this new painting I had also recently re-designed my blog yet again to resemble my Zazzle store's look a bit. I was never completely happy with my old blog design and am now pretty satisfied with it. Now, time to finish my new website! :)

New zazzle shop design!

I recently re-designed and coded my zazzle shop. I'ts just about finished now, I may or may not add more to it. Overall I am very happy with the way it turned out though I think now my zazzle store looks much better than both my website and blog. I guess it's time to work on my web and blog designs again. I want to completely re-do both now.

Thanks for your visit :)

New finished image titled "Akanksha"

Hey everyone,

Finally I have finished this one, it took a while to finish since I have been also working on another painting as well.

I got inspired to paint this image after looking at many beautiful images of clothing designs from India. The patterns and jewelry took a lot of time but I enjoyed painting them. My own story for this image is that she is a young bride to be who is trapped in an arranged marriage and secretly desires another life. Her name is Akanksha which means desire.

Painted mostly in Photoshop with some extra work done in Painter.






Here is a close-up as well.

New oil painting titled "Mt. Umunhum"

Hey everyone,

Today I decided to paint a bit in oils so I painted a section of hills from the view of my balcony. The focal point of this image as you can see is that strange little building on the hill in the background. I decided to paint it since I find it so fascinating, It's one of the most interesting structures on these hills. This building is an old government radar site that had been abandoned. I wish I could go check it out but it's highly contaminated and not open to the public. I recently found this youtube video about the building which is pretty interesting.
