Back to the Artsy Stuffs and Junks :)

I've been given a break over the past few days and have gotten three new thingys done in the Photoshop :D

YAY!!!!! I really wanna move away from just doing graphics and be able to do that and traditional painting and drawing also. The traditional stuff just takes so damn long, and graphics are like, dog-with-half-a-brain-simple... sometimes haha

anyways, here they are, two of these are just tattoo designs and the other is a self portrait

When I'm Not Doing Art Stuff....

I bug my Dad until he helps me fix things I don't understand... Mwahahahahaha!

This is my new/old bike, it's an '81 Yamaha XJ750, also known as a SECA 750. Picked it up in Silver Spring, MD sometime around Memorial Day and it sat in the garage while the Texas bike was getting done for Trent at BikerMetric. My Dad rebuilt the starter, I changed the spark plugs, and then BOOM BABY!! With the exception of it idling at 5000 rpms, this was a great day, we later fixed the idle problem by putting the boots back on the carbs from the airbox, and Daddio messed around with the throttle cable.

This past weekend it got some new chrome handlebars that aren't retarded like the stock ones, and a new throttle cable... This thing will easily burn my 2007 suzuki in a straight line (100 cc more and 2 more cylinders will do that I reckon)

Thanks Dad!! I'm not going to say anything mushy, but yeah, you're cool :)

Demotivational

So lately I've been running around and being the social flutterby, which means less time with art and doing blog/deviantart/etsy... BUT! I did come across a cool site that has nothing but the demotivational posters running in a constant thread! These are just a few that I liked but everything on this site is hilarious :D

http://www.verydemotivational.com/

Enjoy!!

Online Store!

So I opened up an Online Store today at http://www.zenangel13.etsy.com/

For the love of all that is good and holy, buy something. Send someone else ou know to the site and make them buy something! Anything! Get the artwork out of my house so I'll have room to make more of it! LOL

Anyways, please definitely check that out if you haven't heard about it already, everything on the site is handmade, vintage/antique, or supplies for making your own arts and crafts and junk :) it's cool, and a good group of buyers and sellers.

The "American Flag" painting, and the portrait of Dave Matthews I did are up there, along with these three pieces....

Enjoy!

The Second Pic in the Series

Okay, so the main idea behind the blog header was that the artist gets pulled into a million different directions because of their ideas and all their interests, that's why the dude looks all like he's melting and stuff... I hate explaining my artwork, it always makes me feel like a condescending douche bag... ANYWAYS! So I really like that header and thought the idea was kinda cool, so getting away from that, the next thing I thought of was doing a series of paintings that have that same setup and all share a similar theme. So this next one is about Sleep and Dreams and fruity things like that :)




I still need to finish adding in the rest of the frou-frou things in the Background, but this is pretty much what the finish drawing will look like on canvas, just repeating images of a night-time sky with different phases of the moon and some nice calm flowers and butterflys... ya know, sleepy things. Hope you guys like it!

Old Stuff, then New Stuff

I've had these two paintings up in my room for a few years and never really thought about them after I hung them up. But I think I really need to start selling off all my artwork and just trying to make a living at it outside of having a "real" job. Anyways, these are officially for sale along with any other paintings or drawings I may have :)

There are a few tattoo designs that I did, all but one of them was for fun really, the other is for a friend. They'll be getting colored and added here shortly as well. The new header for the blog gave me a good idea, I just really like how it turned out so I think I'll be making a series of paintings and trying to keep the same theme throughout with the colors and the overall composition. I started drawing one of the paintings out today on canvas since I had nothing better to do hahaha

Also, if anyone knows of any artist that wants some free advertising, let them know to email me at www.zenangel13@gmail.com, I said it before (I think) that I want this site not just to be about me me me, but other artists and friends also, so send in the stuffs :) mmk?

New Art Finished and UP!!!

So I finally got done with the colorizing on the new header, which is up on the top of the page, YAY!! GO ME!

That was my big accomplishment for the day, and the slideshow is gone because compters are gay and too complicated for me to tell them to do something and listen to me. There are a few pics up instead which I'll rotate new and old art into them and if anyone wants me to show their stuff I'll post up the name of the piece and the name of the artist too :)

I wanted this blog to be for lots of people, not just myself, art is not a very easy living, so if there's anyone that needs more exposure then they can certainly get some here once people start looking around.

That's all for now, I actually thought of a new idea for a painting and should probably start that since that's what I like to do and all.
