I've been playing around with mono prints and this is one. After the print I went back in with acrylics and oil paint.

This was the first illustration I did since graduating college, pretty much. When I say illustration, I mean, it was done on board, using techniques I learned in college, and geared towards print media. Me and a friend challenged each other to get a piece done a month that was in line with the direction we were trying to expand our art. Another short lived but great idea. So this is what I did and it was loosely based on the sketch below. For the most part I just dove in with no plan as to how it would turn out.

The concept here was to create a scarecrow / robot / living dead sort of thing. I wanted him to look like he was result of some hilly billy Dr Frankenstein creating life in his garage. It was all done by hand except for the celtic scrolls in the trees. That was an after thought. It looked a little too simple so I added those for some texture and just to see what it would look like.

I did this one day out of desperation to do something different. Couple of happy accidents were discovered while doing this piece.

I love willie and could probably do a painting of this guy like once a month

I went through this kick where everything I did had to have an animal in it.
