here is the fianl traditioanl acrilyc on canvas painting that i submitted to the canibal flower 1oyr anniversary show.

This week's stuff!!!!

This was fun. My buddy Jeremy Rusnak and I doing some fun character design stuff while at the caricature stand. We set out to design a lobster boy!


Some Jaguar studies.


Some random character designs. Heman and some pirates.





Also a retake on the an old show piece, "The usual suspects" originally the breath of paintings featured animals that raid urban trash cans. Possums, alley cats, bears and such. This was the bear. Originally it was carrying a trash can. I made this one an ice bear.

Some retakes on some paintings from Previous shows. These were two of my favorite lil paintings. The Hellboy was for the "let them eat pancakes" show at uberbot gallery in florida. I don't know if the paintings sold or not, i haven't heard from the gallery? I painted this one for myself. I'm gonna hang it up at my place somewhere. The lil mummy was also a fav of mine and my ex girlfriend. I painted it for her because the original was sold to some lucky person. She really wanted it, but never made it in time to buy it. (Am i the nicest ex boyfriend or what?)


My first attempt at painting with cell vinyls. A lil study inspired by all that stuff out there that i absolutely love!!!


Damian, a once co-worker truly missed. He totally looks like that black tiger from the 80's movie Beast master! Also, Sam, of big sam art blog, totally looks like Rafikki from lion king. lol, and a lady friend that accompanied them both, well, she looked like a giraffe to me.
Man, that was so fun. Friday the 6th, it rained all day, so Sam and I were supposed to work at the citywalk airbrush stand, well, the rain made us close up. We tried to wait out the rain by hanging out at the Bubba gump's across the way. Well, it was nice to sit and draw in our sketchbooks for like 8 hours and get paid for it. I love my job.



A blast from the past.

Hanging out last night with independent comic publishers Bernyce Tally and friends. A quick lil memory sketch of Bernyce and her lil red dress.

Concepts for my last art show.

" Let them eat pancackes" Uberbot Gallery, Florida

So, for the first time, a gallery contacted me to be in a group show. Steve Lewis from uberbot gallery, http://www.uberbotonline.com/index.php contacted me through myspace. Weird thing was, he referred to me as David, my middle name, that's my middle name. I was curious, since my myspace has no indication that my middle name is David. He said someone pointed me out to him, he didn't remember who? But he said it may have been one of the Drink and draw social club guys, I asked them, it deffinitely wasn't Dave Johnson, he told me it wasn't him, Jeff Johnson thinks he may have done it, but doesn't remember, Dan Panosian also thinks it may have been him, but also doesn't recal. we all know how artists memory center works. (It works badly) well, to Steve Lewis and the rest of the participants, and to whom ever pointed me out to Steve, I great gratitude is extended out from me to them, for letting me be part of such a fun and awesome creative group effort. all of the artists that showed, are absolutely awesome!!!
Here are pics of the pieces i submitted to the show.
