Abstract Cubism in Progress - Masked off.

I’ve been getting into Picasso’s work a lot more lately, and decided that I need to make it my own and work with the cubic form just a little more.
So, starting off this painting is a whole lot of masking tape.
I have cuts on the inside of my hand where I was […]

Metals in Green - The process

I get ideas and then when I actually get to work on a particular painting, it’s usually around midnight or something. So yesterday evening I bought a 36″x48″ canvas and began work.

Most of my work lacks a really warm feel, so I started with a green field and incorporated a copper metallic and a […]

Playing with Illustration and Texture

Rarely does my own artwork become an exercise in illustration, so I must confess that it is with some reluctance that I share the following work in progress.
Also, I mainly must classify my own personal artwork as abstract expressionism, so bear that in mind too. ;) I think it’s because I like to […]

Take part in the “Artist Hideout Challenge”

I recently hit on the idea to make a digital artwork that was the same width and posting requirements for my blog. One that was rendered specifically for the space but you had to scroll to get the full image. I hadn’t seen anything like this anywhere else. With that in mind, I am opening […]

Final “Fumage #1″

Here is a little bit more of a detailed shot.
I found that there are a few tricks when working with flame as a medium.
If you work with a candle, you have a likelihood of spilling wax on your work. Best plan is to work with a medium sized wooden match. Too […]

Fumage in Progress

I’ve decided to blog photos of the fumage in progress here. The image quality on my cell is pretty decent so I am going to use that and upload to here through Flickr. Our digital camera is pretty much dead.
I am using Bristol Board, a new box of wood matches, and workable […]

Introducing Fumage - I didn’t inhale

Among the various methods of creating art is a lone technique, called Fumage. Wikipedia tells us that it is surrealism, but I would probably classify it under a form of abstract. I’d say expressionism too, but that might be pushing it just a little.
This is probably categorized under “art forms that might […]

The process of logo design.

Recently, I was given the opportunity of designing a logo for another b5media blog, Hockey Beat. I went through several revisions before I came to one that Mark and I both liked.
So listed below are a few of the revisions and the process I went through in designing this logo. Initially, I looked at Hockey […]

Designing a Comic Character is Hard

Over the last few days, I have been working on a comic idea to add to Artist Hideout. In fact I already seem to have the first few strips written in my mind, but I am having trouble with the art form that comic strip characters limit a person to.
I tend to over-draw things and […]
