Two old paintings, and some links.

Hey duders,

While browsing through my computer tonight I came across a few paintings from last year. Some of you may have seen these, (whether in person or on myspace), some may not have. But, I’m trying to stimulate my creativity so I can get some more paintings done, so here you go. I hope you like them.

Here is an oil-sketch of my brother Todd. Pretty rough and fast.

And here is one of my brother Shane, a little more refined.

While I’m delving through old artwork. This one was done in 1987. I totally won second place in our class’s art contest. We were given the theme, “pets, a gift of love” and I went with the idea that they’d love to eat each other. I guess I understood irony pretty young. :)

Also, here are some links to a few of my favorite artists.

Ok Melissa, go paint!
