"Clearing my Head"

I usually do a strictly acrylic piece after I do a scratchbord...It helps to clear my head...I also utilize these paintings to get ideas out of me that have been clogged...It's kinda of like a massive idea bomb just exploded on wood...I didn't like this panel when I first started but overtime it really grew on me...The character's name is Agatha...I snagged the bat character from my favortie cartoon Transylvania 6-5000...I'm thinking about getting him tattooed, that would be fly...! get it...bat------fly.



Abracadabra!!!

Vincent...

-Vincent is the story of a young boy, Vincent Malloy, who pretends to be like the actor Vincent Price (who narrates the film). He is obsessed with the tales of Edgar Allan Poe, and it is his detachment from reality when reading them that leads to his delusions that he is in fact a tortured artist, deprived of the woman he loves, mirroring certain parts of Poe's "The Raven". The film ends with Vincent being tortured by the goings-on of his make-believe world, quoting "The Raven" as he falls to the floor in frailty, believing himself to be dead.

Tim Burton hands down has to be one of the most visionary influences throughout my life...His grimsly imagination has been the fuel to my fire for years and years...
