Paintings

A bit off topic, but I felt like throwing these up here as well.
I am greatly inspired by an artist named Andrew Pommier.
I hadn't painted anything in a very long time, so I decided to take a stab at a few of my favorite Andrew Pommier pieces, with my own twist for good measure.


"Damn Squids"........................."Bring The Pain"

"Shot Through The Heart"

About a year and a half after these were painted, I emailed pictures of them to Mr. Pommier himself. I expressed that I was a big fan and that I have the intention of getting a half sleeve tattoo consisting of his work. He was kind enough to respond with this:
"Hello Brandon,
Thanks for the email. I'm always happy to hear from people that enjoy my work and I'm glad you like it so much. I look forward to seeing how the half sleeve turns out. You have to send me photos.
I dug your rendering of my paintings. It's interesting for me to see one of my drawings done with somebody else's hand. Thanks for sharing.
I'll do my best to keep being awesome.
a... "

I was pretty stoked to hear back from one of my Idols. He seems like a really cool guy.

I also painted this for a friend once. Just because Zombies are awesome. Who doesn't like Zombies?

Thanks for looking.

Wake Up!

Alright, so....

September hasn't been a great month, but things are finally getting moving. I haven't touched my sculpt in close to a month, but now that my Latex and UltraCal are present and accounted for, I should have no more excuses!!

This is where it stands right now, all of the teeth, quills, bells and whistles have been removed and some refining and further detailing added. It is difficult to see in these pictures, but it's there!
