BScribs

Hey everybody!
                          Here is a video from one of my friends for my hometown of Sullivan, Illinois.
His name is Ben Scribner and he has a hobby of making short videos; they are at most times nonsensical and humorous, but he has some other great vids. After the video make sure to check him out out youtube and subscribe. www.youtube.com/user/ABProductionsYDG < This is the channel.

Repainting

This right here is the culmination of dedication, perseverance, and imagination.

This is a piece that I am currently working on. It is a piece that i am recreating from a mural I did about a year ago up at The Factory Arts Studios. It's one of my favorites so far and rightly so. It measures at about 45 by 58 inches.
Admittedly this is just a teaser, because I have gotten further in the process than what is shown above, but I wanted to show a simple start of the painting first. I plan on uploading a comprehensive walk-through on how this painting came to be later this month, keep checking in and I'll provide you with more content until then!
On another note this will also be a print available in my shop. There will be two version one will be a regular version with the usual options (standard, archive, canvas); the second option will be a highly archival museum quality print on dense weight paper or canvas but limited to 25 or so prints. Each will be numbered and hand autographed by me.

If I may take a moment I would like to thank all those who have looked at my blog (even in passing), have hired me for a commission, or have bought a print from my shop. It really means a lot to me. Seriously.
I have work, then I have this. While my work is constructed around art, it can be tedious and mind numbing, but when I get to make art for myself it is kind of like when you walk hoe from school and when you get home you take off that ridiculously heavy back pack and park your ass on the couch and chill out to some after school Tom & Jerry.
For every person that gives me money or supports my blog by sharing on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, etc; you give me a lil' more enjoyment in life and that is never a thing to be granted.
Make sure you come back real soon I'll be posting a High res painting you can download (or just right click> save as) and print off at home then hang on your wall.
Word to your mother.

Gremlins and wierd boobies...







 Let me just say that I have been busy with client work and with other freelance work so I have sorrowfully been neglecting my wonderful blog. But I am here to shower you with doodly goodness. The first pic is a lil' gremlin dude I just stepped away from so that I can come back to it with a fresh set of eyes. Been working on that for the last couple of hours. The second one is a color render I am doing. I was browsing deviant art and saw it and was like dang I gotta render that shit. I cannot for the life of me remember the deviant who did it, but I will find out later and with the finished piece give credit to the original artist cause credit is due.
The 3rd, 4th, and 5th ones are just a piece I'm doing for practice and what my screen looks like while I work most of the time. The last one is a small piece I did in photoshop just for practice. i recorded the process and threw it up all over youtube (link below) The way I worked on this one is by just opening a canvas and jumping right in. I had no plans about subject matter or lighting. I didn't think I just jumped right in. Which is why if you watch the video you'll see me fucking around for a lil bit before realizing that I'm retarded. I'm not too familiar with working in photoshop so I don't know how to go about things that I would normally paint traditionally or in Corel.
