New work-in-progress titled "The Curse"

Hey everyone, :)

Here is one of my latest works–in–progress titled, “The Curse.” This painting may appear finished to some, but there is still quite a bit of work that I want to put into this piece.

The story that I have in mind for her is that she was once a beautiful young woman who had everything but lost it all when a curse was placed upon her from a jealous rival. She is now doomed to live out her days as a cave/swamp dwelling creature. She sits alone waiting in hope for the day that her nightmare will end.

I’m currently working on a full story for this image that will be available in an art book I’m currently working on. Along with featuring full pages of my best artwork and many new paintings, the book will also include a few painting walk-throughs. I plan on adding a few other stories with images as well.

For those interesting in my art book project, I would like to hear your feedback. Feel free to Contact Me and share with me your ideas/requests regarding what you would like to see or read in the book.

Aside from my art book project, I am still trying to finish up my new website. It has been a slow process due to all of the things I have going on right now, like my other projects/paintings, commissions, life, etc. I wanted to launch the new site this month, but it may not be ready until January.

Will provide more updates soon.

Thanks for stopping by :)

"Black Swan" movie Fan-Art

Hey everyone! :)

Here is a simple, quick fan-art painting I did today that I thought I'd post here. I worked about 4 hours on it so far and am pretty happy with it. I got really inspired to paint it after watching a movie trailer for an upcoming movie (which I'm highly anticipating) titled "Black Swan" directed by one of my favorite directors Darren Aronofsky. The movie also stars Natalie Portman who also happens to be one of my favorite actors as well.

Here is a link to the movie trailer for anyone who is interested: "Black Swan" movie Trailer

Updated 7/17/11: I worked on the tutu just a bit.

New zombie painting titled "To Die For"

Hey everyone, :)

Up really late tonight and Just finished this painting which I started about a day ago. I really got inspired to paint it after doing some zombie makeup which I had a lot of fun with. I love Halloween!! :)

It was nice painting something dark for a change since this other painting I have been working on lately (and pretty much most of my work) is very light. I wanted to paint an image that was both sexy and horrifying, (hope I pulled it off).

Overall I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out - I need to paint more dark images, I really enjoyed painting this one!

I hope to have my new website up soon as well. Took a bit longer than expected since I'm now converting it to Wordpress. I've also been working on another new painting which I want to add to the gallery. I hope to have it up in a week or two.

Prints are available HERE

Have a wonderful Halloween everyone and thanks for your visit!! :)
