Painting Progress

It's not finished yet, but here's the start of the painting I've been working on.  I still need to work out a few problems and continue to build up layers.  We'll see where it goes.

bARTer

Things have been plugging along here.  While I am continuing to work on my circle series and wrap up my latest large oil painting, I've been speaking with a local musician about doing some album art.  I have never done commissioned work before, and am interested in creating something that is both true to my personal vision but also congruent with the band's musical style.

Instead of cash, as much as I adore the stuff, I am going to receive guitar lessons and an "indefinitely borrowed" guitar in exchange for doing some album art, and maybe posters later on.  Although money is tight for me right now, I'm intrigued by the arrangement as it will also give me some exposure in addition to being just plain fun.  I have starting drawing up a couple of little things, and will see if including the style of my circle series is something of interest for the band.
