The making of World & Fire Mask!

The making of World & Fire Mask!

This was my attempt to venture out into the "outside-the-canvas" realm.  Although painting on a canvas is my passion and something I wish to perfect and keep doing, I often find a curiosity to try something else.  I had this blank white mask at my house for over a year and I finally decided to do something with it and paint a few of my signature concepts, "Earth" and "Fire".

Below are a few snapshots of how it came to life:






Let me know what you think :-)

The making of Short Circuit Painting

The making of Short Circuit Painting!

This was one of the most enjoyable paintings I have done to date.  It brings back many memories of doodling this memorable "Johnny 5" robot, and so bring it to a canvas was a pleasurable experience for me.

I think just overall I am in a mode where I try to recreate all of my past childhood obsessions onto a canvas...a sort of "Childhood Remembered" as I grow older and begin my own family.

What do you think?




Have a character from childhood you want me to recreate onto a canvas? Please call or send me an email.
