Portraits are one of the hardest parts of being an artist and the most rewarding. Hand picked musicians in airbrush! #portraitartist #blackandgrey #micron #playon #artisforever #paintedfaces

A badass is all about learning, working, failing,

A badass is all about learning, working, failing, committing, growing, patience, what’s at stake, things you can’t change, and dying like you lived. And so much more so, you left enough for others to tell the tale. This is my homage to that. I Brought this piece in the public for a test drive. Someone walked away with an A/P on the first day, first showing. I like it when a plan comes together. This is #19 super almost finished Ha! #almostfinished #neverdone #alwaystrying #alwaysbuildingthedream #dieliving

Not sure where these ideas come from but I like where they go! The imagination is another form of consciousness and needs to thrive! Why I never get tired of my job, pioneering fresh imagery just fills my soul with the universe and all it’s potential. This dude is coming alive and nobody is going to stop him. #blackandwhiteart #airbrushart #wip #westernart #cowboyshit #westcoastartist #daftpixel

Nothing better than stepping away from a long project to get a fresh look upon return. This painting is only four days away from completion in black and white airbrush! And the story is unfolding as well. This painting has all the ingredients of a bad ass story. Each section represents the recipe for becoming a badass. The research, the legends, the heroes, the grind, the choice, the patience, the commitment, the pioneers, what’s at stake, and the things you can never change. These are the ingredients of “American Badass” the painting. #perserverance #patience #pioneers #thechoiceisyours #followyourpassion #daftpixel

I love it when a hoss comes together. Getting close to finishing! My favorite time when the painting completely unveils itself to me as a finished piece. #americanbadass

Art is all about problem solving. Sometimes even the best intentions lead to complicated situations. This time I will admit this piece didn’t like my original “coloring”. Now I think the original contrast on the main character’s shoulders lead me to so much content being “faded”, around him.....many stories had to be back grounded. “The Man who loves the World” this ain’t cool. He isn’t the star of the piece. It’s his experience . Everyone is equal in this piece. I darkened the “background” and brought all that faded content into saturation town. Scroll down, which of the two do you like? Honestly at IG size you probably can’t tell. Detail artist problems. Just tuning #18 #lovemyjob #designsolutions #colorstory #loveeveryone #everylove #beautifullight

Mastering the color for “Man who Loved the World

Mastering the color for “Man who Loved the World” aka “Our Face”, because I am finally going to make posters for April debut. Excited to see how it is received at a proper size. Thanks to all my collectors last year who supported the “artist proofs”. Still love the sepia tone version.... so no promises on full color or sepia. But big posters coming either way! #lovemyplanet #loveeveryone #smallworld

Nothing like a good ol’ pandemic to break out a badass piece to fight the good fight. Whether it’s your immune system, family, government , or straight savings, it’s a good year to feel like a warrior weathering a year long war storm. I thought this painting style was going to be my once every five year masterpiece showcase. Now my multiple times a year vibe. That’s plenty if you ask me now........Something about this painting says’....

“Go to hell, because I already went, and it was boring AF”. #backfromhell #pandemicsurfer #ridethestorm #goahead #airbrushart #surrealism #creativeaf

Having a ton of fun on this piece. Number 19 in the series! Going to bang out another one after this before April. Next piece is going to be all about the ladies since this one is heavy on the dude sauce. How many pieces do you have? #timelapse #airbrushart #detailedart #blackwndwhiteart #micron #iwataairbrush #createx #wickedpaints

2020 says break out anything that makes this year crazy. And this is that. 25 years ago I painted this painting and made people believe in art again. Today it is just as crazy. Hello 2020 #itoldyou #seeitsok #normalrecall #probablyusual and hello 2021

Friday night studio vibes....
adding the “blueprint” lines before gessoing over all the pencil mess. Testing the time lapse settings at the same time. Trying to get over the mountain of set up before paint! #twofaces #timelapseart #wildwest #penciloncanvas #badman #badass #peopleinfaces #daftpixel
