Endless Girls after John Van Hamersveld (and Bruce Brown)
|
This image is obviously one of the most recognized, ever. And for good reason. And it's been done with girls before. I painted the textured background separately from the silhouettes (which are acrylics on canvas) because I thought I'd mess around with inks on newsprint for the background. But I ended up painting the background separately and combining them digitally. |

Bebop after John Severson
|
Surf Bebop by John Severson is on my top 3 list of favorite surf images. I wanted to try working in his style to push myself out of the swirly blobs I was working in. Enter the palette knife; I had never worked with one before and it has completely opened my world up to new textures and ideas. |

Diamondhead after Stewart Fern
|
I LOVE Stewart Fern's Diamondhead. The style and palette are very different from my own. Also, the light is much more dramatic than I usually deal with. My perspective tends to be goofier, so I tried to brood while working with these colors. I'm not sure what the original dimensions are, I painted it at 20x16 in acrylics. |
