Monsters Under My Bed!

Hey guys seems i had a little mix up. I said the painting was gonna be in New Times Magazine. I read the email wrong it was actually City Link not New Times. Whoops! Heres the link to the write up!

http://citylinkmix.com/art/fear-no-weevil-the-bear-and-bird-gallery-gets-spooky-yet-again/

Its awesome that they used my painting as part of the preview. I picked up the new City Link today to check out the article. They didnt end up using my painting in the print article but its still awesome that its up on the web article.

The show opens this Saturday!



I usually wait to post the paintings up until fter the show but since it got used in an online article i might as well post it here now! Ill throw in a little something extra you cant get from the article or the show

Here was my preliminary test of the painting



Then i was gonna try it out with watercolor but it wasnt coming how i wanted to and time was runnign short so i went on to my usualy acrylic on cavas and heres the final product



Hope to see some of you at the show!

A Rocky Situation

Monsters Under my Bed / New Times

So October is just around the corner again and that means its time for another Tate's local artists show!
This years theme is childhood fears. This show is gonna be BIG! Over 200 artists are participating this time around.

Heres the flyer for the show

I have decided to start branding myself as Bruckaroni so from now on all my paintings and artwork will be signed as bruckaroni. Unless the painting is too small then I will be signing it like I signed my nerd painting. This flyer is the first flyer with that name!

Today I got contacted by a local entertainment newspaper New Times. They are doing a preview and write up for the show. They are going to be using my painting in the preview! Print and on their blog. This is super exciting news to me.  So I will post that article as soon as its published.

I have also been working on a new animation and the blocking for that should be up within the next couple of days!

Strictly for the Nerdcore

I just randomly did this painting the other day. My friend was feeling down in the dumps and going away to college so i decided to make her a little something for her dorm room. Its really small only 4x 5 but im pretty happy with how it turned out! Its got my new signature on it for small paintings. I also developed a new signature for my larger paintings as well.

Alright so this character was originally sketched while I was talking to some douche bag car salesman. 



Then I went ahead and refined him a bit to look like this



Then i put it in photoshop to get a rough idea for color



and now for the final product!

11 secoond club final!

So I finished my piece in time and i was pretty satisfied with it. 233 people entered this month! I knew i wouldn't win but i though maybe id get top 20. Things didnt work out that way. The one that won tho was awesome i thought that one would win. So I ended up placing 112 place which is right about in the middle but compared to what was entered I feel like i should have been placed higher. Oh well at least I have a new piece for my demo reel!

Here it is
