No 70 Yuka Fukuda and Adam West Mural.  9x12 Acrylic on Paper.  (This image is cropped in detail of the original).

Not really SFW, I am posting a crop of the newest painting.  This was commissioned over year ago by my good friend Gloria Noto.  I can happily say that I needed that much time to get my skills up to par to make this painting for her.

Stella Stella

Stella Stella.  9x12 ink on Bristol paper.  I always wanted to make a video with a Marlon Brando impersonator yelling Stella! In front of a Frank Stella.

Small Portrait of Linnea Regnander in fittings

Small Portrait of Linnea Regnander in fittings.  9x12 ink on Bristol Paper. 

Linnea is another classical beauty.  Face that Frederick Lord Leighton would have painted.  Strong bone structure with soft features.  Every elegant and athletic in her movements. A nice balance between confidence, femininity, and carefree.

I want to thank Citizens of Humanity for finding me.  I love your store and your gallery.  I feel like I just made a new friend who likes the same music, movies, and artwork that I do.  Flattered.

Nimue Smit Waiting for Fittings.

Nimue Smit waiting for fittings.  9x12 ink on Bristol Paper. 

Her beautiful large doe eyes and naturally rosy cheeks give Nime a porcelain doll appearance but beneath that exterior is strength, beauty, and little boredom between fittings.

Now in private collection.

Small Portrait of Jana Knauerova from AW11 Casting New York

Small Portrait of Jana Knauerova from AW11 Casting New York.  9x12 ink on Bristol paper.  I'm not sure if Jana still has this hair style but I loved it on her.  The short blonde pixie cut with her skin tone blended together in a continuos tone interrupted by dark eyebrows (Brooke Shields intensity brows) and her piercing eyes.  She has the most beautiful eyes with dark rims on the outside of the iris.

Duckie Was Latino

I never believed that Duckie’s Name was really Phil Dale.  I realize I misspelled Zoot Suit, but I going to leave it anyway.  I make this artwork on the fly and the mistakes make it more human and I think more humorous.  I’m sure there are more mistakes in grammer in there as well.

Small Portrait in Profile of Anais Mali from Fittings AW11 Runway New York.  9x12 Ink on Bristol Paper.

Anais reminds of a dancer. She is elegant with high cheek bones and a long graceful neck.  Smart, beautiful, and strong.  

I love DC Characters But I Read Marvel For the Writing

I Love DC Characters But I Read Marvel For the Writing.  9x12 Ink on Bristol Paper.

Today this statement is a moot point because the writing for both brands as well as independents is tremendous.  Years ago, before and during the late '80s comic revival, this was was true.  Thank you Miller, Gaiman, Baron, Claremont, and Moore and many others for making comics amazing again- for writing that competes with the artwork.

Small Portrait of Tao Okamoto from Fittings AW2012 New York.  9x12 Ink on Bristol Paper.

I stopped cold when I first saw Tao at a casting.  She had her Peggy Moffit Vidal Sassoon 'bob' hair cut.  Who was this beautiful woman?  I finally was able to meet her last year during casting and fittings while she had this pixie cut.  Very cool, very beautiful, very professional- wonderful to work with.  The shows I have seen online it looks like she is growing out her hair.  At the Akris show in Paris it looks like they gave her extensions.  She looks amazing in anything.  If you haven't seen this Emporio Armani Campaign Video, she takes a star turn.

Small Portrait of Alina Baikova

Small Portrait of Alina Baikova. 9x12 Ink on Bristol Paper. I think if  William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti would have fallen in love with Alina.  She has the features that would have inspired their ideal sense of beauty.

Small Portrait of Anabela Belikova

Small Portrait of Anabela Belikova.  9x12 ink on Bristol Paper.  What I like about Anabela's beauty is her steely stare.
