Sneak Peak – Tentacles (and WIP shots)

Friday. Finally, another full day for painting. I’m beginning to work out the final details on several pieces, have several mid-progress, and still a few to draw out (an elk, maybe). I’ll have three collaborative pieces in the show, and some block prints. Here’s a sneak peak at a couple new pieces. The shimmery effects don’t work much in photos, but a nice heavy clear coat will bring those out and the visual depth should be pretty cool. Sometimes all the layering pays off. 

Pacific Octopus (detail, WIP)

WIP (work in porgress), I masked the finished octopi and started a new woodgrain pattern for the background.

Colossal Squid vs Sperm Whale (Detail, WIP)

Work in Progress, whale textured:

WIP, some airbrush effect on the bigger whale. The yellow is the vinyl that is protecting the hard dark outline. 

Just a few days left before the show. I’ll be finishing up several more new pieces this weekend. Also, posting more process shots in my instagram feed @artdamaged.
