"Creatures of Ghost Island" at Allegory Gallery.

I have a show with lots of new paintings at Allegory Gallery which opens this Friday and will run throughout the month of February. The show will feature 10 new pieces, 8 watercolor/acrylic/inked pieces and 2 small silkscreened prints. The piece shown above "Creatures of Ghost Island" is the large piece that ties everything together. The other medium-small pieces depict scenes and characters that take place and exist on this island. I plan on updating my website soon with all the new things I've done this past year and I will also include these new works. In the mean time, here are some process photos that were taken over the past 2 months (via my instagram)

"Witch", "Don't Be Scared", "Friends, Me and You"

In progress, "Take Me There (Ghost Wolf)"

"Mushroom Forest"

Another ghost piece in progress.

I actually have not seen this film until now! After I got invited to participate in this show, I went out to rent it right away. I watched it with my roommate and we really enjoyed it (we found it thoroughly amusing that Dorothy was pegged as a loony from the beginning) but anyway!

For this show, I did a portrait of Jack Pumpkinhead.
