I apologize that this letter is so long - I lacked the time to make it short
First time she saw me, she thought I was sexy and all that crap. But only wanted me when I said I was a painter. Now, do you realise how rare it is a woman wanting a man for that? Not money, not looks, not self-confidence, not celebrity status. A fucking painter. Being a painter in Brazil is like a notch above being a bum.
After spending 2 years working exclusively with Digital, I am starting to paint on canvas again.
The ordinary series I did in Photoshop is the one I chose to do first.
Someone tagged my work in a online album called "Figurative Deconstruction" and I think the name nailed what I've always had in mind when I looked at the works of people like Bacon, Ghenie, Saville, Kanevsky, etc.. So Im gonna stick with it.
This is a Beast With Two Backs:
Work in Progress only because I am far from done.
I have painted this priest inspired mainly by Phil Hale's Skulls and using some of the technique Maciej describes on his videos.
A tribute to the Irish priest father Jack Hackett.
All Photoshop on a Cintiq
I have started a project 365 so I am going to try and do a sketch/concept every day especially for it. The game is discipline. - PROJECT 365 - Im not gonna post all of them here since I have the project page but I will post the ones I like the most.
Day one is a quick sketch starting with thick strokes and then some fine detailed ones over it and then thick ones again.
I do hope you like it.
