Daily Creativity: JG_Banks Pop Art!

JasonPOPsmMy good friend Jason of the Talk Nerdy 2 Me podcast, had a big bump in the road of life recently, so the Flash Mob (the fans/community of folks that listen to the Flash Pulp Podcast) got together to try and cheer him up.  This is my contribution, a pop art icon of him, I made it using an image I took of him, and with the suggestion of Tek I added the logo of his podcast to his t-shirt.  I sent him a Giclee Print of it before posting it here, so his surprise was first seen in the mail :)

Daily Creativity: Bloody Diamonds Fan Art!

Sara from Bloody DiamondsI love the band Bloody Diamonds, and for a while there was a running joke about how any time they came to town, I was out of town. It got so bad the one time I was in town and they were playing I was stuck at the radio station fixing the transmission and missed their show. Finally, I was able to see a show of theirs as a two piece (part of the stripped down tour), and then later with their new bandmates and got to hear the full sound of the band. Both shows were amazing, the second actually felt like I was getting a private show.  I only have interaction with Sara & Jake and they are both awesome people IMO.

Screen shot 2013-09-11 at 12.14.36 AMA few weeks ago I saw a tweet with a great shot of Sara by by Joeri Coppens, I liked the photo so much that I saved it for painting later.  I painted it a few days ago on my iPad.  I like how bright Sara is in contrast with the dark background.

Daily Creativity: Love Your Body

Love Your BodyLove Your Body: iPad painting.

This painting reminds me of a trinket I had when I was a kid.  It was a plastic mermaid glued to a rock.  There was something about that little trinket I loved, I think the pose is almost the same.  I also like how I painted it without clear lines, like she could be part of the watery background.
