Not for sale sadly, but I could do one for if you want.

These are about 16" tall, what size would you want?

Whateva. It's for a gift. Srsly, what do you want for anotherone?

endsjustifymeans · Post by **endsjustifymeans** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 1:31 am

Lol... really not sure. I've never priced my art before, that Patton is literally only my second painting ever. I've got a 20" canvas I could put it on, I can probably have it done by Friday.

I'd gladly do it for a Dwarfcraft Devices Gift Certificate.

Whatever you deem fair... cost of supplies is really only like $3-5. I'll get started on it tomorrow. If you want you can wait till you have it in hand and then pay whatever you think is fair for it.

I'm an idiot. Those paintings are about 8" tall, not 16.

And my remaining canvas is a 10" not a 20", I'll be starting your painting tomorrow.

wow, dude.
you have a gift for color and composition.
its freaky! i could tell who was who without you saying squat, the facial features are really good, and the detail is minimalistic.
im srsly impressed.

I want to thank everyone who had kind words for my paintings. These are literally the first things I've ever painted and you guys made me feel good enough about them that I think I'm going to keep at it.

I love this place.

i would REALLY like to see what you come with next, and like a few other folks i would be interested in paying high dollar to hang your work in my living room.
there is something about 3-4 color strokes that really get my goat.
you are one of the few people(aen is one of them) that i wish i could create the same magic.

Pshaw... high dollar? For $10 worth of acrylic paint on canvas board?

You're nutty. I'm sketching out a few pieces right now that I'll probably start once I finish Aen's Patton. I'm sticking to the monster/occultish theme... it translates well with limited color palate and minimal detail. You can certainly have one of the next batch for less than "high dollar", but these first three are mine all mine. They're quite the accomplishment for me.

I really don't know that what I do is all that artistic, being as I do all the design in Adobe Illustrator and then just translate that to canvas.

I'm also currently working on a stuffed animal King Buzzo. It's an... interesting... project so far.

Aen,

Your canvas has been prepped and sketched. Paint will start being flung at it tomorrow.

That's blood yo, Zombie Buzzo took a bite outa yo ass.

Each one is a Alt Rock icon paired with a monster/occult figure.

J. Mascis - Wizard/Warlock
Mike Patton - Devil/Demon
King Buzzo - Zombie/Undead

I just realized, Buzzo's visible tooth is gold in the painting but shows here as white for some reason. Weird.

Aen Patton Painting Update:

Painting nearly done, I powered through it after work today. Needs maybe another hour or two of work and varnish.

I'll start on the frame on Friday... busy weekend though so it may not be totally done until Tuesdayish.

Aen,

Painting portion of your painting is done, just need to Varnish it and build a frame over the weekend.

Yours is the big one.

Lemme know if that's ok.
