I painted this a little while back, but felt it should be posted. I really like this one. I thought about going back in and deepening the shadows on the sign, but I suppose that's me being my own critic. Makes me want to do something similar, but with a larger wood sign. Not sure if I want to use the space for a poem, or perhaps as a promotional piece.

First Sketch

Initially, I thought I'd be able to embed larger files, but I guess this is as big as it gets, so, I'll just include details:) At any rate, this is my first sketch entry.

A few weeks again, Moon, my brother, asked me to sketch up a few different trees for a tattoo. Although I really like this tree, I don't think I'm going to ink this in for his tattoo. From what Moon described, the tree should bend a little more to the right - a lil' bonsai-y. Despite not using it for the tattoo, I think I might still use this for either my ABC book (hence the Tt), or a silk screen poster/tshirt - which I've already gotten a request for. I suppose if nothing else, I enjoyed drawing a kick ass tree, wrought from the depths of my imagination.
