Despite My Education...

 

"Despite My Education..." acrylic on canvas

New Paintings

Here are some paintings I've either just recently finished, or started and are works in progress. Apologies for the fact that some are sideways; my scanner is busted so all I can use is my crummy cell phone, and I don't have Adobe Photoshop on this computer.

The Experiment

The lighting is abysmal, I know, but here's another acrylic piece. This one is on cardboard.

Another Night In Prick City

Acrylic on canvas. I’m still learning how to use acrylics; after the easy blending and quick drying nature of gouache, they make me feel a bit clunky, which is why it kind of looks like a six year old made this. I'm finding precision and clean lines difficult with them.

The Bling Of Death

Here's an unflattering scan of an acrylic piece I've been working on. The washed out purple parts – the aura behind the coffin headpiece, the highlights on the folded bat arms and on the left side of the face, etcetera – are supposed to actually be a brilliant bubble gum pink. For some reason my scanner is washing them out, but, to quote The Ramones, "What can you do?" 

Until I get a proper snapshot of the color-correct version, this'll have to do.

**Update**

Here's a picture taken with an iPhone. It's still not great–it looks very orange now from the lighting in the room, and the phone's camera, but it's definitely a better representation of the colors used.
