SOPA Blackout Wednesday

As an artist, I’m certainly aware of and sensitive to copyright issues on the web. However, I have to agree with the many who are saying that there are better ways to go about avoiding piracy without bringing in the government. If SOPA passes, the government could issue a court order against an artist or website to have the work and artist removed. Many artists rely on virtual fans; the sharing and discussing of works. I’ve never met an artist who minds this, as long as credit is given and the images are kept intact. If SOPA passes, sites like Tumblr, Facebook, DeviantArt.. could be gone. What about the many websites that host a number of artist’s work? Never mind that if the government is allowed this privilege, who’s to say how far they’ll take it?

The Daily X – Girl to Worm

This piece is a somewhat brutal commentary on what I found conflicting about rising through the ranks of girl to woman.

The Daily X – Victory

A couple of years ago, a friend was going through a really rough time. I painted this to remind him that no matter how small you feel, there is great strength to be found within. At times, life requires a brutal attitude.

The Daily X – Scarlet

Around 2006 (or so), a simple request was made: “Paint me a super hero.” Drawing comics/ fictional characters is my first love, so I was super excited about it. The sketch seen here is the rough draft of the idea (emphasis on “rough”).

The Daily X – Bonecrusher

Since I’ve been elbows deep in oils in the studio, I’ve decided to devote this week to traditional paintings.

The Daily X – Freedom

I’d always wanted to do my work with film and darkroom. I’d never had access to all the space, material, chemicals, etc that was needed, but creation will happen, regardless.

The Daily X – Ready

Digging deep in the archives today, I stumbled upon my very first, and only, acrylic painting. I am not a fan of acrylics and have never attempted to do anything with that medium beyond this piece.

The Daily X – Self Discovery

What do you see when you look inside yourself? How deep are you willing to look? What are you willing to endure to see what’s inside?

The Daily X – Splash

Today’s Daily is as much of a tribute to the model as anything. This awesome lady endured around six buckets of water thrown on her during the course of the shoot. The set was shot with both 120 film (shown here) and digital so I could see exactly how the water splashed; the water splash being the ultimate visual goal. It was so much fun!

The Daily X – George

Years ago I saw a photo of a little gargoyle that seemed to have a personality all his own. This digital painting is the kind of personality I saw in him. Originally, I had intended to do an entire character series of George, but got busy with other things and eventually the inspiration got lost. I often look at this piece and consider redoing it, because it was painted with a mouse (as opposed to a tablet).
