The Great Joseph Arthur

Well my friends, i need to make this post quick because I'm off to see Joseph Arthur perform again tonight!
Like I said last week, Joseph Arthur's live performance is one of the most inspiring things I've seen.
And when people inspire me, I always want to paint them.
So ever since last week i've been wanting to paint him, and finally last Friday i started working on the painting as part of my Musician Portrait Series.
Just finished it today!
I hope you like it, please check him out!

P.S. My friends in the band Eisley just had their new album released today! Go check it out, it's great! >> http://tinyurl.com/itunes-e :)

Thom Yorke

So i just realized i never posted a big version of this oil painting i did of Thom Yorke of Radiohead.
I painted it two years ago for my friend Stacy Dupree.
She is a singer and shares the same birthday as Thom, so i thought it would be a good birthday present.
I really like how it turned out.
It seriously just happened.
I threw on some Radiohead and began painting and a few hours later it was done!
It's a lot different style wise than my usual stuff...
i think it kinda has the "Thom Yorke" Vibe....
What do you think?
I hope you like it :)

Steven Patrick "Morrissey"

Well My friends...
I'm pleased to post my 4th painting in my Musician Portrait Series!
Today's Portrait is of music legend Morrissey.
I've loved the Smiths,
so it was fun to paint this portrait.
I hope you like it :)

On a different note,
Well... Looks like I'm going to Prom this weekend!!! haha
Yep, you heard it right!
I'm really excited for it!
It's a "Fashion Prom" by Joonbug.com & Fashionindie.com.
So, I'm flying out to NYC Saturday morning, and fly back here Sunday for Mother's Day!
haha So, I'm going to be pretty tired, but it's going to be amazing and worth it.

I hope you all are having a wonderful day.
P.S. In honor of the prom... i posted some of my high school Prom Pictures up on "Inside My Brian" today ;)


P.S.S. - I got nominated for “Most Likely to Succeed” for the Fashion Prom! hah You can vote on it if you want :) >> Vote Here

Brooke White

Hey Friends,
how are you?
It's been a crazy week;
went to Disneyland on Tuesday for the second time in my life!
That place is really the happiest place on earth!
i had so so so much fun,
but i'm still recovering from the adventure...

Well, the drawing today is of American Idol Star Brooke White.
I was completely blown away and flattered when she was nice enough to tweet about my work yesterday.
I hope you like the painting.
Please check out her music!
:)

Bjork

Good morning, good morning.
Well i hope you all are having a wonderful week.
for me this week has been a tornado.
Blowing me up and down and side to side.
i'm been chipping away on a editorial that i think should turn out super interesting.
i'm really experimenting on the layering process.
i think it will turn out looking pretty unique.
Did this drawing of Bjork last night before i went to bed.
i couldn't help but draw her after seeing that Concert Movie the other night.
i hope you like it ;)

Thom Yorke

Yay! Day after Christmas Merry!
How was all your Christmas-es?
Yesterday was an amazing time with the family.
This morning i woke up, sat down and painted a picture of Thom Yorke.
i promised my friend i would paint it for her brithday and her birthday passed,
and now i finally did it.
It's now my 3rd oil painting,
and with each picture, i've been trying to learn different techniques.
This one i tried to keep it really loose,
blind contoured on to the wood,
then painted within the lines, and re-outlined in oil pastel.
Hope you like it. :)

Merry Monday

Merry Almost Christmas!
It's perfect weather; it's cold and rainy.
I'm under a blanket getting prepared for the day,
and contemplating making some hot chocolate.
Got a busy week. Got to do a few portraits and a magazine cover.
Plus, need to go Christmas shopping...
need Santa to send some elf assistance.... oh well.

The picture today is from this Project i'm working on.

Taylor Swift

Hey friends, how are you all doing?
It's late and i think i'm getting sick...
been working so much lately. i think it should slow down soon.
i doodled this up tonight.
Sophie said i should do a series of famous people....
Somehow the conversation got onto Taylor Swift today.
Anyways, i thought she would be a good starting point in that series.
i had a lot of fun drawing her.
Now i just need to figure out how to get the drawing to her.... :)
hm... any suggestions? hahaha
i hope you are having a great day.
i found an old story today that i wrote in 3rd grade;
i think i'm going to post a chapter from it every night....
haha It's pretty funny. haha
Goodnight!

If you could help me get this to her by tweeting the painting that would be amaizng!
