I have been planning on a solo art exhibit for a long time now, but I was unsure about the direction I wanted to take. It hasn’t been a year since I started doing freelance illustration as a profession. But in that amount of time I have learned so much about the global art scene, greatly developed my technique, realized what genre of art I am willing to commit myself to, and more importantly, gained new friends.
I’ve decided to create a series of paintings that are closer to my digital illustrations in theme and in technique. I am aiming for poetic, but with gore/horror undertones, and Death Metal cues. I have no concrete thesis yet, and there is a lot to be thought of. I painted on of my favorite icons (the Witch, originally by Godmachine), to test if this works for me, and also to kiss some hairy Welsh ass haha. If you own a few of GM’s shirts, then you’ll easily recognize the icon.
HUGE thanks to a great friend, and mentor, Godmachine, for allowing me to paint this character/icon of his (The Witch), and for lending his beautiful voice/music for the video (see below). Haha.
