My Mask.

i recently had this idea for a story.... i started drawing one day and it started to flow all on its own, unexpectedly. i started to realize it was a story that needed to be drawn, and not just an illustration. so i wrote and drew, wrote and drew..until it was done. i easily saw how i wanted the images colored insiede my hed. shortly after, i drew this image of Kabuki. i have been immersed in David Mack's work lately after meeting him in San Diego for Tr!ckster this passed summer. he gave me some books of his and after reading them, i became enamored in his style. his flow. i bought more @ Wizard World in the fall, i couldn't (and still can't) get enough of his work.

i began expanding my own ideas and approaches to art. so having all this imagery in my conscious, i began to see my art change. including the story mentioned above. after drawing this Kabuki, i realized i wanted to paint it, digitally. and try some new techniques out of my comfort zone. in the moments of painting it [Kabuki], i realized i was using this as practice for my next big project (the story), to be released in the next month or so after Delayed. Sleep. Phaze. Number 2. expect work like this, only ELEVATED. i'm so excited for the new year and the new ideas i plan to bring into reality and release this year. so stay tuned!!

Stay Creative,
