Here's 3 of the 30 paintings that I'm supposed to come up with for the Forgotten Works Challenge. At first I hated them. Now, not so much. They're not masterpieces. They're fun! I don't want them to become a chore. Anyway, keep an eye open for more as they come.

A test painting

So what I've done here is painted on a board the "stinker" creature from one of my older comics. This is a test basically.

On the 29th of September I'm going to pick up 30 8"x10" canvas boards from the Blank Space Gallery. From the 29th of September till the 29th of October I have to paint on all the canvases. I will have to return the paintings and then in December there will be a show featuring my 30 paintings (only selling for $40 a piece) and paintings from other artists who took the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge.
What I plan to do is simple. Draw a daily comic like I do. Then paint a portrait of one of the creatures that appeared in that comic. So each of the paintings will coincide with a comic from that month. I plan to post the paintings in advance of the show. Probably when they're finished. This is so that everyone gets a preview of what will be available at the gallery show.
If anyone is interested in this painting it's going for $40.

Day 138

Although there's been such a ruckus in my life, something good has come out of it. An Art Show!!!

It's going to be a showing of my daily comic originals. I'm also going to have some sample comics for free and a couple of the Lair books for sale.

It's at the World Cup espresso and wine shop. Which is located just up the street from Scarecrow Video on Roosevelt in the University District.

It's going up today and should be around until the end of the month.

Please stop by, say hello to the fine ladies that work there and take a a look at my handywork up close and personal.
