Live Painting

My friend Josh called me last minute to do a live painting at a Church event because his friend Cowboy [BYM] bailed out on him. During the time he called me, I was at a barbecue in Fullerton, so I rushed home, packed up my equipment, made some stencils and found my way to the event. I arrived there about 30 minutes late, I felt a bit rushed, nervous, and frustrated. I've painted live with spray cans in front of a large crowd, but I've never been put on-the-spot as the center of attention while a band is playing. After a while I begin to lose myself within the painting and forget everybody around me as I start to become comfortable. At first, I didn't really know what I wanted to depicted, the more I added color to the canvas, the more the pictures started to unravel itself. I spent about 2 hours on the painting, added some final touches with the stencils and then I was done. It was a good experience, and would love to do it again.

Tattoo Flash for Devin

Here's a tattoo flash I did for my friend:


(She got it on her shoulder by the way).

This past weekend I've been searching for tattoo examples for the next class meeting and I'm looking forward to drawing on Billy. Haha.
