I am so pleased to have finished my friend Adam Farrell’s commission. He and his wife are amazing people and I am very happy to be able to do one of the Cloud Constructor pieces for them. These pieces are some of my favorite to work with. It was also a pleasant departure from the very gouache looking solid colored pieces that I have been working with recently. I forget how much I love to push paint and respond to layers of color.
In addition to the commission I also started working on a wildebeest character for a local shop owner who wants to do a monthly narrative work featuring a classy wildebeest. Projects like these are so amazing. Frankly it is as if people are giving me liberty to do the things that I want to be doing anyway. So check it; finely dressed wildebeest, right here.
I hope the shop likes them. I’d really feel privileged to work on this on a monthly basis. It is just such a cool idea. For some reason it makes me think of Flight of the Concords, but that is beside the point. I’m hungry. Gotta run. I hope you have an awesome day and thanks for stopping by.
Peace
