He refuses to change his beliefs to be more "electable." I really admire him and so I wanted to do a painting of him. My inspiration was to do something similar to the HOPE painting made famous by Obama. But I didn't want to rip it off. I wanted something fresh and new that would capture the spirit of what Paul stands for. So I started looking at propaganda posters and anything involving revolution. I ultimately decided on a giant "V" that would stand for revolution. A nice unintentional side effect was that the interior part of the "V" where the painting is also looks like a heart. Which worked perfect to symbolize love (also hidden in the word revolution) I threw some aged textures in there to reinforce the fact that Paul's message goes way back to the constitution and I was done! I'm also including my original painting before I worked it into my revolution design. The painting itself is where I spent 95% of my time so it's worth checking out unobstructed. Overall I'm pretty happy with the level of detail in it and the overall look. Check them out!]]> Whether you’re on the Ron Paul bandwagon or not, you can’t deny the man’s unwavering vision and honesty.

I'm really having a great time getting back in touch with my painter side. So much time designing over the years I've forgotten my first true love! This is a piece I did for my game Deadwood. I had the idea for a hobbit like house that was built inside the hollow of a tree. I loved the idea of using a broken branch for a chimney! This was also my first piece that I finished on my new Cintiq 21UX. I'm really loving this thing. So check it out and let me know what you think. I know I have a long way to go with this type of art but I'm excited for the road ahead of me.]]> Wow! I’m really having a great time getting back in touch with my painter side.

I'm tentatively calling it "Back Burner Shirts" because right now that's exactly where they are. I've designed lots of shirt lineups over the years and figure why not do one of my own. However, there's lots of people that start t-shirt companies, and I would say about 99.9% of them fail. So I'm in no rush. Right now it's all about exploring some fun new ideas I have. I'm more interested in pushing myself to come up with clever new designs than worrying about selling them at this point. So my first idea is called Pixel Evolution. It's about how far the art has come in modern video games, yet at their heart they are still just pixels. Check it out!]]> I’ve been playing around with the idea of starting my own t-shirt line.

I wanted to do something kind of grungey and dirty. I thought a tough boxer girl might might be something a little different than what i usually do. This was the first time that I used textures on a painting. I have to say I like the effect. It takes some of that digital edge off. Pretty happy with how it came out.]]> New painting!
