First Annual Supersonic Electronic Invitational

Hey everyone, I've been busy-busy lately, but I got a chance to check out the Supersonic Electronic Invitational over at Spoke Art on Thursday 1/5/12 and it was pretty awesome. I got to see a lot of my favorite contemporary artists in person. The difference between seeing something in person versus online is WAY different. It's very awe-inspiring and can have a profound affect on you in a strange and good way.
I took a few pics (it got crowded pretty fast, sorry for the skewed positioning)

I particularly enjoyed seeing the works of Erik Jones, Sam Wolfe Connelly, Joao Ruas, Conrad Roset and Tatiana Suarez in person, I've been following their works for varying amounts of years/months and I was extremely impressed by the degree of tallent these artists possess, as well as the many others that were exhibited.

If you can't make it, check out what was displayed here: Spoke Art

I also got to look at a painting by Charmaine Olivia who is having a show on 1/14/2012 at Shooting Gallery and I'm very excited to check her work out in person as well. Oh, and before I forget, I was super stoked to pick up a free tumblr tote bag with some stickers and other free-bees, my companion and I were pleased about those too.

More updates from me to come soon as I battle this cold/acute tonsillitis :-/

2012 Works to be...

Hey everyone, It's been a while since I've updated on here, but I've been a bit busy with new works. Mostly everything I do now will most likely be traditional analog style works. Some digital here and there, but mostly all Oil on Canvas works. Here are a few works in progress photos (don't mind the crappy cell phone cam quality pics).

I'll also be updating GrimHearts1985.com later this year as these paintings are finished. Hopefully I'll get to work seemingly non-stop on my work from now on. I'm hoping to get the PRINTS section of my site up and running, I'll be posting more photos as these paintings progress, hopefully you all will like what I produce.

Take care and have a Happy New Year!

Graphite Study

Study in graphite, i wanted to freshen up my skills a bit, in both portraiture and graphite (obviously :-p)

Spent 1.5 hrs on this 7x10 portrait, it's in my sketchbook.

Enjoy!

This was a gift to a co-worker of mine who is just a delight to work with everyday.
