Hey Badd!
Thanks for the visit
cel-vinyl is also called cel animation vinyl
it's what animators use to paint the animation cels
it's opaque and covers practically anything!
it mixes well with acrylics
and washes up with soap and water
and it dries FAST and MATTE!
you should go cheggitout!
all the cool kids are using it!
:lol:

you kids are my Valentines!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Here's the finished piece
"Greeting the Dawn"
cel vinyl and acrylic on masonite
lovingly cut by Derek monkeyman!
Here's the village in the early morning mist...
I've grown quite close with that distant jungle on this side of the piece....
Closer....
That's it for Tiki stuff..
but Hey! it's valentine's Day
so here's some extra work
I've been grinding over
both with hands and brains..
First off..
a clown piece i forgot to post...
it was Dave:s Not Home's beeday present
so i had to hold it back...
But here it is...
and i promise...
NO MORE CLOWNS!
for now...
"the Parade"
ink,colored pencil and tissue paper stain on watercolor paper
here's a detail from the "African mask" painting
took it today-just fer YEW!
Also,have been working with collage...
the experimentation and playing with shapes/colors/textures/and composition
are always a welcome remedy for artistic/creative burnout...
I'm also working on a collage portraits of the presidents
but that's top secret for now...
"Disintegration of Time"
collage on masonite,ink
here's some details....
being a designer..
well....we hoard and collect ephemera
like it's going out of style!
I hope to use this technique and paint a Moai OVER it
letting the collage peek thru...
Also worked on and finished a piece for the Rothick gallery's skateboard exhibition
this one is based on an earlier drawing
kind of like the Minotaur piece
That's why Documentation of your pieces is ALL IMPORTANT kids!
"the Reckoning"
acrylic and cel vinyl on gessoed wooden skateboard deck
this painting was influenced by both the art of the Middle Ages AND the desire to create a slyly political piece
(the original drawing /concept is from the last president's term...nuff said!)
Here's a man holding the scales of justice as well as observing the night sky...
Here's the angel coming on down and giving Mr. king a gentle warning with his widdle finger...
and here's the far left of the painting
showing the angel's exit from the cloud,the devil-amazed at his thwarted plans,a microwave tower
and a Medevil Leviathan-like entrance to hell...with a nod to industrial mechanics....
HIGH ART WARNING TO MADDOG MIKE!
here's another study from Blake's "Vision of the last judgement"
this is at the very bottom center
and depicts Satan being bound by two angels....
i loves them feets,Jack!
That's it!
I'm Delirious!
it's late
i'm a stumbling in the brain...
YAWN!
Again... Happy Valentine's Day
may your day be filled with love and giggles!
and Thank you all for the visits!
