About me. Hmmmm. Well, i am an artist and have been at it since i was five years old , if not before. Some called me a child prodigy. I didn't like being treated differently, and never paid any attention to all that. So i've been at it quite awhile and perhaps was more focused at that age than most would be. I also decided i wanted to be a drummer back then, so i've been beating and banging on stuff just as long. I am probably a better drummer than i am an artist, and more enjoyed all the travelling around all over the place and living like a rockstar.
But for now i am just doing the artwork.
Questions people have asked me about the art:
What medium do you use? Oils on canvas/panel painted with a paint brush. NO airbrush is used. Sometimes a can of black spray paint. But i do not push oils through an airbrush as some have claimed. The last time i picked up an airbrush was a good ten years ago to paint a motorcycle tank. It's all paint brush work painted "Old Master Style" with a touch of new and my own way of doing things.
Why Pin-up? Why not? Painting the female figure is traditionally one of the hardest things any artist can tackle and paint realistically. I love a challenge and it is a subject matter i doubt i'll lose interest in. There's always a new face to paint and a new fashion design to create and put her in.
I decided to do my work in oil paints to further challenge myself. It is not easy. Oil painting involves alot of problem solving in your head to pull off a painting. And too...i love the smell of the oils, the varnish, and paint thinners. That's what an artist studio should smell like!
Pin-up is regarded by some in the world/ art world as "taboo" art and get riled up over it. I would rather paint something that get's people 'riled up' rather than throw paint or paint fuzzy bunny rabbits! (No offense to those that paint fuzzy bunny rabbits...no e-mails please! LOL!)
Hmmm. What else? I am my own worst critic and so you'll never hear me calling myself a "master". Good artists never stop learning and perfecting their craft. I don't use big flowery words and philosophical terms to decribe my art, because if i have to stand there and tell you what it is? Then i really SUCK as a realistic painter.
I am very outspoken, brutally honest, and passionate about what i do. I tell it like it is.
Do you paint nudes/ nudity? Yes. But i can't display them here. I go to great effort and keep my work tasteful. I haven't found a need to get graphic and nasty with my work. I do paint nudes and nudity when it's appropriate.
In my opinion...All mermaids would naturally be topless. I think big scallop shells would create too much drag in the water. Perhaps Michael Phelps can weigh in on the issue.
Too many people here can only associate nudity with sex, when they are two seperate things and have nothing to do with each other. Just because a nude women stands before you does NOT mean she wants to have sex with you. But try telling that to some of these wack-jobs and perv's that write me thinking one of my paintings is a real woman.
Very disturbing. I can only imagine the type of e-mails real women must get from posting some of their modeling photos on here.
I treat my models with the highest respect and paint them only as they desire to be painted. So if you're at all interested in being a model feel free to get in touch.
Any other questions? Feel free to ask and i'll get them answered and posted here.
