Car chase abstract concepts

As the name implies, these are still-frame abstract concepts for an animated car chase sequence from a short film project.... I wanted to try a style of animation with some experiments.... think fast, blurry action with quick cuts, sparks flying, grinding, skidding, teeth gnashing, violent spitting flames and the like. You get the idea.

Flash Op Art

Invitation

Well, OK, hello, everybody, I'm back Blogging again... after some minor distractions like getting married and buying a house and honeymooning overseas, class reunions, receptions, etc etc. Now that those little distractions are out of the way, I'm back on it again... hopefully at a slightly more relaxed pace.

This image, which was our wedding invitation, was initially based on a WWII vintage movie poster. This image first started as a sketch on paper, then the final artwork was created entirely in Photoshop with probably 40-45 layers. Painted with a Cintiq tablet. I found it best to not think about how to get the old lithograph style in the painting.... I had thought about it for quite a while when I was researching old posters and eventually I just started one night (because our deadline was fast approaching) and never really thought about the litho element of the look. It helps me to be in a rush because I don't waste time overthinking or second guessing anything. It was a fun project because it came together pretty fast once I started painting.

Kentucky Woman

Kentucky woman
She shines with her own kind of light
She looks at you once
And a day thats all wrong looks all right
And I love her
God knows I love her
Kentucky woman


I've discovered an intelligent woman with a beautiful smile, a wonderful heart and a radiant soul. She brightens your day with her special smile and she brings genuine warmth to everyone she meets. Truly special people are very rare, but your soulmate is unique. Her name is Suzannah, she's my best friend, and I'm very happy to announce we're engaged!!!!
