Night creeps in and the corner sleeps..

Im kinda loving this one ❤️

Excited to start this project in earnest. The idea of so many different light sources/qualities is a challenge im eager to test myself against. Theres things I carved out wrong in the blocking, but I think I can fix it. Still, it was soothing to get back to it - eager to moving this one along!

The constant reinvention, the thoughtful interplay between light, shadow and sound, the dark poetry of a tortured soul...always the best show there will ever be to see.

Can't stop wont stop (I dream of MO)

The left moves apace. And by apace I mean I feel uninspired and I need to recapture my love for the place. A place ive never been and will never go, encapsulating...much.

Value is not always relative.

And, despite what some say, no - those are not fucking olives.

I hate the undergrowth, but I love what ive done here otherwise. Learning and growing and COLORGASMS EVERYWHERE.

Sketching done. More blocking done. SOME DETAIL STARTING TO GO IN. Feels good man. Feels good.

Trying a different approach. Not sure if I like it - feels a lot like paint by number - but we'll see.

But I need the COLOROMGYAAAASSSS

My savage coward of a dog as envisioned by ChatGPT.

The greasy diner dog one is my favorite ❤️

Noticing only HOURS later and stupidly feel...authentic ❤️

More blocking. Lots of sketching. Idc how I paint this at all - I feel really good about my proportions.

Making it perfect would have been impastable, but I enjoyed every second and look forward to doing it again.

WITH A PALETTE KNIFE!!

So texture-y. Its god damn decadent.

A sportsball metaphor: more blocking, less tackling.

Took a break from the gargantuan paint drinker to do a quick exercise with a limited color palette. Wanted to only do 3 colors but allowed myself 4 to bring in some umber. I need to do more of these faster ones - i always learn a ton.

Meanwhile, deep in the ugly phase....

Finally done. Loved doing the colors for this. VERY pleased with how this turned out...what to do next tho?
