Pillcandy

Not sure why I call this pill candy, should have been "walking with death" or something. More experimenting with styles, tight vectors with loose digital paint. I literally just threw this logo together without much thought just to get some vectors to play with, and I love it! funny how that sometimes just works. Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop.

Art dump...

It's been a few since I posted last, and I have done a few pieces that I have already posted to all my social media sites, hence the art dump. Lately I have been trying to just jump into starting something and work real loose. It started with the piece "why?" from the Feb. 7 post, using the oil brushes & tighter line brushes in Photoshop, and this has been the result from the last week or so. I think i'm trying to find the magic style that everyone will go "wow, great!" but, it's not happening. Putting your art on social media sucks, at least with me, where I'm at now, no response. Or if there is a response, it is completely different on different social platforms. But, truth be told, what I do know in my heart is, I will probably newer have a set "style". As stuff pops in my head to create, a way to do it forms as well; wether loose or tight, cartoonish or graphic, simple or complicated, my idea also creates the style I want to do the work in. I have to keep telling myself to do the art for "myself" and not anyone else. That's all that really matters.

Secrets in the wall

A little something different, experimenting, sketch from a long time ago. Still like the looseness of the sketch.

Why?

Digital experiments in Photoshop. No preconceived ideas, just start putting down color and see what happens. Fun to see the outcome and not worry about how it turns out.

Strange times

A digital Ipad sketch from around 2020-2021. The iPad I had even at that time was ancient. The stylus for it was the old rubber ball type tip, but it forced you to work in a simpler style with less detail unless you really wanted to work at it. I like how an artist's style can change depending on their medium. I just added the textured background to it in Photoshop before this upload.
