I was inspired by watching Bob Ross one day and decided to do a "Bob Ross style" painting (on black canvas) with a sci-fi or horror theme. "Maybe in your galaxy there's a happy, little, 500-foot-tall robot approaching the shore..." These phone shots are a little "shaky" and out-of-focus but I didn't feel like setting up a tripod yesterday. "Night of the Robot" - Acrylics on canvas - 16" x 20"

âVermilion Nightâ - Acrylics on canvas panel - 8â³ x 10â³. Some experimenting with making stencils and sponge-painting, trying to avoid getting too "craftsy" though.
Another extremely interesting work my friend. The contrasts are great.

Wow. VERY Nice!! Can easily see an album cover with this.

When you paint on wood do you prime with something like regular acrylic paint?
For wood I sometimes use a clear gesso or some sort of surface primer but it depends upon what I'm going to paint on there. A lot of times I've tinted or essentially "stained" the wood with an undercoat color to bring out the grain then put some sort of clear surface prep to stop subsequent painting from bleeding in the grain. This painting had a very wet turquoise glaze/stain put on first, and the woodgrain is visible in person, though the scan didn't really pick it up (it was a birch panel which wasn't super-grainy anyhow). I wiped it off like you would a regular wood stain, and let it dry then put on a clear coat of some sort before I started painting the actual imagery. Clear gesso seems to work best but is pretty expensive (about $15.00 a pint). I found a "sealer/primer" which works pretty well also - at least for wood and plastic, and is a lot less expensive.
I've been working on this idea of painting over patterned backgrounds for a while, but hadn't really worked as much on creating those patterns myself instead of using existing ones like fabrics or printed paper. This is a small (8" x 10") experiment with a sort of Klimt-inspired pattern.
Beautiful my friend. Is that on wood or canvas?
Thanks. It's a stretched canvas.

Oh, yeah. I forgot about that one, but it's on that Tumblr page. Thanks for the purchase; I have to figure out a way to draw traffic to that Red Bubble site.
