Oil Paintings!

Hi Folks,

Pardon the delay of post. Its been a grueling Fall with my classes, but I've been working on my final project which I will share once it's ready.

In the bean time, here are some paintings I did last summer in Max Ginsburg's Painting Workshop in the Arts Students league. I decided his workshop after a recommendation from a good friend, Marc Scheff. Totally love the medium.








Below is a 10 minute painting by Max. He demonstrated how he begins a painting. Capturing the gesture and proportion.  And painting large abstracted shapes with the proper values so the planes turn properly.

 


 

Below is my latest painting I did of my girlfriend in 2 hrs. I promise to make a more flattering one soon. Lol, She's way prettier.

 

More to come.

Sometimes I'm traveling, some times I'm teaching but on an average, in the studio, Monday through Friday a good working day is 10 hours. If I'm in the studio, it's the working schedule. But I draw everyday, no matter what. No matter where I am. I'll make sure I have a pen and a pad and make sure I draw something. If you miss a day, you start to forget things. No one would really notices but you will. And then after a week your audience will notice. I've been sketching since I've been a little kid. Ejk: Has this schedule been instilled since art school? IM: No. I didn't do art until my final year of high school, a...

The Hits: A Review of 2015

Image
Hello World,        I've been MIA from my blog and my website for a while now. Many of my friends have asked: "What have you been up to?" My answer is usually a lot. This year especially has put me through the paces of what I thought was possible. But, my goal has remained the same, which is my strive towards artistic excellence. This post is going to be a "Best of 2015". 1. Montclair State University: Done-zo!      Graduating from Montclair State University last year with a BFA in Illustration and minor in Creative Writing, I was thrilled to have finally completed the first chapter of my scholarly journey. I had an amazing time at MSU forming great friendships and meeting brilliant professors who have sharpened my senses to my own particular interests. Some of which, I'll get into in this blog. 2. Designing for Indie Games        While finishing school, I collaborated with Among Elusions , a start up video...
