First off all before you ask. I hate that fucking band, this painting has nothing to do with those jerk-off’. Prior to that band forever ruining that word it used to be a pretty cool car color. In fact it’s the color of my 1928 Model A which looks strikingly similar to this painting for a reason. I took a little liberty with the blower on the motor and technically i painted a 1930 model a not a 28-29 but whatever.. let’s call it a wish list. Also before I go on I feel I must mention this; If one more person brings in a CD of their horrible music and ask me to play it while they are getting tattooed, I don’t think you’ll like how the tattoo comes out. I’ll probably just tattoo two gay unicorns humping on you. Or in the event that you actually asked for said unicorns, I’ll tattoo a big dick on you with a banner that says “I have shitty taste in music please kick me in my balls or vagina and suggest better bands to me”.

This one really kicked my ass. For anyone that has painted with acrylic in this style I’m sure you ‘ve figured out the secret is to paint form the furthest point back and paint layers on top.
So the entire time you have to keep in mind the order in which to paint each section of the painting.

For example…
The blue background first then the gray ground. Then the passenger side of the car, and passenger floor boards etc, then the door panel and shifter and the seat etc… all the way out to the body of the car. Oh wait first you have to paint some of the engine so that the cowl sits on top of the distributor and bell housing… even the door has a few distinct layers to gain a true three dimensional effect.

There are about 15 layers on the engine alone. I think the biggest headache was that I painted it on Illustration board instead of Masonite which really messed with my speed as I had to let some of the acrylic soak in before I could get an opaque coat.

But i digress…
It’s fun to get back to some OG hot rod shit. I haven’t really painted much of it in the last year or so. Damn Tits and Tats project took up too much focus. (I know I let a little bit of tits and tats creep in, old habits die hard) So I’m going to try to get some of these Hot Rod sketches I have laying around finished keep an eye out...

Shazzam Fuckers!

I tattoo a lot of my paintings, and sometimes I tattoo something and love it so much i have to paint it too. This was a collaboration of both. I had the sketch worked up about three months ago transferred to canvas and ready to paint but it kept getting delayed and I had a little creative block on it. My friend Jenna saw the sketch and wanted it as a tattoo. So basically I had no idea what colors or how this was gonna be painted so i ended up working out the colors as we tattooed her. We went balls out on the bright pink hair and the style of the tattoo was very smooth and pop realistic, So i carried as much of that as possible into the painting. So glad we rocked out the pink hair. Thanks again Jenna!

Ok, so this was fun as fuck to paint! I spent all afternoon Saturday and Sunday watching the Lost TV show Auction and painting this. I lost every item I bid on. It really made me pretty sad. I loved that show and all I wanted was a Dharma Jump suit! ... or one of the hatch doors, or some fake Black Rock dynamite, damn-it! And I blame Amanda for talking me out of bidding on Lockes Coffin. $1200!!! come on that was a steel! I'll show you where I’d have kept it!

Anyway, I'm starting to blend my kustom kulture car stuff and my boobie series! Best of both worlds, right? This is going to premier at the Howley’s Hot Rods and Hot Chicks art show tonight, that is if no douchey customers bitch about her nipples being out. Fuckers.

Now, how can I blend Cars, Lost and Boobies? Hummm, the wheels are turning. Frozen Donkey Wheels! (that sold for $27k if you were wondering)

I knocked this out in a few hours the other night at a live painting event downtown West Palm Beach, I had a little input on the tattoos thanks to Sara, and others.

It looks kind of grainy from the scan but that’s because it’s a tiny 6x6

Sorry no stop motion on this one I left my camera at home. So here is an super in progress action shot mid painting courtesy of Angela Tronick.

This painting is available for the low, low price of $120 smakeroos! Contact me if you are interested. It should be up on Slushbox.com within the week.

Flasher

Flasher 1024, originally uploaded by slushbox.

I completed this painting last night in about two and a half hours last night for live painting art show in West Palm. The theme of the show was "exposed". I think it fits the bill. This is a tiny painting for me at 6x6, I had to break out all my little brushes that each have about 4 hairs on them. Unfortunately I have a bad habit of leaving my brushes head down in a cup of murky black ink filled water thus rendering them useless each time I go to use them. One day I’ll figure out that that is not a good idea.

If you are interested in the original let me know. Its $120 which is probably one of the most affordable originals I have for sale.

This piece was commissioned by a collector of mine she, has two other original paintings of mine already and wanted to add something custom to her collection. I think it came out sick. I'm really proud of how moody it came out. She brought some great ideas to the table on this collaboration. Thanks Kathy hope you like it!

So I did a live painting at the Art Nouveau Seven Deadly

Photo by Bruce Almberg

Sins show in West Palm last Wednesday. First time I’ve done any sort of live painting. Which is probably pretty anti-climactic for anyone watching basically just me hunched over a small table with very tiny brushes and bad lighting…

This actually took almost 5 hours to complete but I’m sure a lot of that was due to taking breaks to talk to people that were interested in the work. Got some really good feedback on the pieces and some interest in some custom ones. The wife claimed this one guys, so sorry the original is not for sale, but I will make some prints. I also decided to do at least 3 more to complete the calendar set of 12, but I have a large commissioned piece I need to finish first.

Here it is, the final in the set of 9, maybe. Someone had to go and suggest that this series be made into a calendar. So, I may do 3 more to make a full 12 parts. We will see...

Oh, me so Oni!

Here goes number 8 in the master series, part 2 for the Japanese set. I finished this up at 2 in the morning.. here it is 8 hours later.

I particularly like the shiny boobies in this one. I should probably change the header on this site from “The Occasional Boobie” to “A Month of Nothing But Boobies”
