Inner comic book artist revealed. .

Trees, roads, lonely little lakes:







This pair mean that I'm all done my first set of drawy-paintings / painty drawings. I still have no idea what to call them, as they're kind of a hybrid. Really what they are is indie-comic style wall panel art. I think my past as an indie comic creator is coming out more and more.

Now I just have to figure out how to price them. :-/

Pricing is one of the more vexing aspects of being an artist/one person business. I'd like to make them available at a more accessible price point than my full colour blobby paintings, so I'm thinking maybe $500 for a 20x24 and $650 for a 22x30. I should really hear what the galleries say about them though, since they're the ones who would be selling them.


Cheers,
Marcel

I wish I 'inked' like this when I did comics

Here's another new painting. I'm having a lot of fun with this stripped down format. It's a lot like inking comics. Or like I wished I had done them when I was still doing them, instead of what I did do with tiny little brushes and pens and getting way too tight with the drawing.

Ah well, the hindsight of old age and feeble-tude.

A non-categorized artifact with canoe

Not really sure what to call this style. Is it a painting? Is it a drawing? A scribbly doo-dad?

In any case, enjoy!

Mining town

Here's a new landscape in the drawing/painting style. This one's a bit bigger at 22x30.

New Dock Diver

Who knows if this new drawing/painting style that I'm working is going to be worth the effort? I'm liking the results so far, so I think it's got a chance, but it's both a creative and product development process at the same time, so you never know until you get it in front of people. This one's 20x24:

Red umbrella, little red house

Holy crap! New paintings!

It's been busy at the day job, and I feel like I've been away from the studio for far too long.


Here are a couple of new small experimental paintings I just finished.

The last of the mini-hicans

550+ mini-paintings and 7 years in, these are probably the last ones I'm going to do. It's been a great run for them but I'm more interested now in larger paintings. They've been great for learning and exploring, but now it's time to move on. kinda sad, but also exciting to commit to a new direction.




Cheers,
Marcel
