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!

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.

Slue-Foot Sue

Slue-Foot Sue, originally uploaded by slushbox.

There was a Disney cartoon called Pecos Bill that was one of my favorites as a kid… swapped the catfish with a Koi but you get the idea..

Now, Pecos Bill had a way with wimmen. No doubt. He had dozens of wives during his time. But his one true love was Slue-foot Sue. She was his first wife - and she could ride almost as good as Bill himself.

Bill first saw Slue-foot Sue ridin' a Koi fish down the Rio Grande. She was riding standing up and holdin' on with only one hand sose she could take pot-shots at the clouds with her six-shooter. Was making a right pretty pattern too. Bill jest went head over heels for her. Proposed on the spot. They was married the next day too.
Sue was dressed in one of them white jobs with the large hoops. Looked plumb beautiful. Right after they was married, Sue insisted Bill prove how much he loved her by letting her ride his horse, Widow-maker. Bill couldn't talk her out of it, so Sue climbed on that great devil of a horse.

Well, Widow-Maker bucked like a maniac, jest as you'd expect. Sue was thrown off - clear up to the clouds. Luckily, Sue was still wearing her springy hoop. When she hit the ground, she bounced up again. But we all soon realized Sue couldn't stop bouncing. She bounced so high she kept hitting her head on the moon. She was crying and crying buckets of tears, and throwin' kisses to her new husband. But even he couldn't stop her bouncing.

We waited three days and four nights. Finally, even Bill realized that she was gonna starve to death before she stopped bouncing, so he had to shoot her. It was a cryin' shame. Well, time heals wounds, and Bill finally got married again. And again. And again. But I'm tellin' you, he never felt the same about another woman as he felt for his first wife, Slue-foot Sue.

Fuck that if she's sitting on my fuzzy rug wearing just a bow you can damn well be sure that the last thing I will be thinking about will be what day Jesus’ imaginary birthday is!
