old painting with new photoshop playfulness ;]

this was in my sketchbook for a while and i got the wild hair to rearrange the colors and the composition. then of course i had to mess around with it some more ;]

digital coloring of a traditional piece i did in NC...

Guitarists on a Cliff

started something new

the sketch

a color sketch

collaboration

Me and two buddies collaborated on the sketch, Paul Graham drew the face, Nick Kondo added the tattoo-like designs, and I added the hair and colored it.

indecisive colors

photoSHOP of the sketch ;]

one day i'll be able to do this stuff with traditional media.

blue girl

did this last week but it kept messing up during upload...

sketch coloring process

scanned sketch

separated all colors into layers... easy to play with the palette after this is done
chose colors
added a light
tweaked colors and levels and finished ;]

;]

visual brainstorming...

i started with a basic shape (the wing in the back) then it just eventually turned into this...
digital painting/collage

more screwing around

photoshop playing with abstracts

this one has no focus, but it's playful
this one kinda reminds me of a beach in Japan
this is one best one from today, i dig it
this one is pleasing to my eyes for some reason... maybe the psuedo symmetry with no color.
