It was such a fun painting to do. I experimented with several layers of paint and scratching into the surface with my palette knife. It does resemble my current work more than previously and I like that I can see my own evolution.
Catalyst, by the way, is an awesome studio for creative arts such as silks, trapeze, yoga, poi, hoop, bellydancing, and much more. I will be doing more poi seminars with them in the future! More on Catalyst can be found here.
This painting could not have been sold at a better time because I need the funds to support my Europe fund! Yes, that's right, I'm taking my broke ass to Europe. Hopefully I will become world famous....or at least see some cool stuff.
Some art I've been looking at:
Tony Orrico, Penwald Drawings, 2010
This guy does amazing symmetrical drawings by drawing simultaneously with both hands. Really stunning work. More here.
Adam S. Doyle, Protect Your Brain Nature & Health Magazine
Fantastic children's book and magazine illustrator. More here.
Alphonse Mucha, Jaroslava Mucha, 1924-25.
João Ruas " Kaguyahime " (2011) More here.
João Ruas " Dawn II " (2010) More here.
Alright, that is all for now! Cheers!
