"The Past Should Stay Dead"

ReMasters of the Universe

This is another one of those "Finally!" posts. As you can see on the flyer, the show date was August 11th. It is now Sept. 24th. And they say things happen faster with technology...

This event was a really big deal for me, because it was the first show that I've actually been approached and asked to be in. I was thrilled, because Brooke E. (who curated me,) is a phenomenal artist. (Check her out at : http://www.unfriendlythings.com/)

The theme of the show (and hence, the name) was to take a work from one of the masters, and recreate it in our own style.

My choices?

"Woman With a Teacup" by Hokusai

My version. I didn't have time to scan it properly, so this is the best picture I have. :(

I painted Hokusai's "Great Wave" on the teacup. See what I did there? :3

"The Last Supper" by da Vinci

My version. I'm a little bit disappointed with the colours. I wish I had kept it at red, white, and black, with maybe a couple of other spot colours. I love the layout, but, again... I'm not used to using colour, so...

(I didn't have time to scan this one either. Bummer.)

Old Sketches!

I was going through some old files on my hard drive and I ran across this gem!!

The first picture of Aphrodite I ever drew, and the picture that inspired all 8 of my Painkiller Studios characters!

I also found a sketch of a nameless rabbit boy that never turned into anything more than a sketch. I tried inking it and colouring it, but it looked way better as a Bic sketch.
