This piece is a Photoshop of a Fennec Fox. I edited the original photo a bit before using the pixelate tool to make this photo look like a water-color, This was a quick edit just to experiment with new tools.

Week 1 of Inktober 2017 is Done
The first week of Inktober is done this is what I’ve Done this week.
Memorial to a Brother
This is a redo of the Bone Collector skull. I redid the bone Collector skull because of one of my good friends Mikey had a tattoo of it. 4 years ago today we lost Mikey far too young I redid it for you brother. One day I plan on getting it tattooed on the back of my shoulder so even if my memory craps out when I’m old my brother will always be a part of me. I thought someone I loved like a brother was a good 50th blog post lets me share an event important to me with someone who is no longer with us. I love and miss you a lot RIP bro.
September’s Blog post
I know it’s been a while since I uploaded this to the site, but as I am known for, its time for my explanation of this piece. The last flower I drew as you all know was back in 2015 but I decided it’s time to give it another try on Photoshop CC. It went a little better, I’d still say It’s not my best artistic subject but it sure isn’t my worst either. As you all can tell it’s a rose, I count it as abstract because the stem is out of proportion to the rest of the image. This was a hand drawn piece.
August’s Blog post
I know I did this image a few months back but it’s time for an explanation of why I did it and what it’s supposed to be. A few months ago I got Photoshop CC, with all the new features it was time to experiment and learn what they do so after drawing a four point star I started playing with filters and got this starfish or fern shape I don’t know which is more accurate. After that I decided that shape would look good over a brown background so I used the tested and true paint bucket. So in a nutshell it’s an experiment I think came out awesome.
July’s Blog post
Anyone who truly knows my art style knows I don’t believe in drawing realism. I’ll be the first to admit realism just isn’t in my wheelhouse at all I can’t hand draw true realism so I specialize in Abstract realism. In this piece I have done two of my draw themes in one drawing, Space with desolate landscapes with caves and lava. For this drawing I didn’t use color theory I just used what colors I thought complimented each other. Unlike most of my work this piece wasn’t inspired by emotions like all my other works, yes there is emotion in this piece because I worked hard on it but I drew this out of curiosity of whether or not I could bring my two most drawn themes into one drawing.
Explanation behind this works and Why this Friend was as important as he was to me
I lost one of my Oldest and most respected friends this week. He passed away far too young. He’s watched my back since I was 8 Years old but I drew this to kind of explain what I am feeling and try to help get some of the emotion out after a loss of someone as important to me as he was.
Well the story behind this starts back when I was 8 years old in second grade starting at a new school after my parents split. I was the little kid in the wheelchair that a few of the High school students liked to pick on. Well my Friend Jesse was a Senior in high school then and saw I was getting picked on by the high school kids as a pretty much defenseless 2nd grader so he started to defend me and help me learn to ignore those who picked on me even after he graduated Jesse helped me get through elementary school with a few different classmates that liked to pick on me and stuff like that. middle school was pretty much bully free but I knew Jesse was still there if I needed him. Well a few years later I needed Jesse again this time it wasn’t bullies it was help getting through a combat tour deployment with my mom’s boyfriend at the time, through that year Jesse helped me more than ever during a time in my life of just surviving having MRSA the year before and being 15. Jesse really helped me get through it all without going insane. If it wasn’t for Jesse my life may have been a lot different and I honestly don’t know if I would be the same person I am today without him. Jesse even tho you’re gone now I’d like to say thank you for all you have done for me man, I really appreciate it more than you know. May you rest in peace.
June’s blog Post
After about six months of being at a creative brick wall I now have new works to do new blog posts on, so without anymore delay here is June’s blog post.
This piece is another addition to my emotional art works and an explanation using color theory about why I haven’t done anything new since December. Basically in a nutshell until recently I’ve been stuck in the emotional vortex of happiness, sadness, depression and anger. With never knowing what mood I’d be in at any given time I put a pause to my art because I didn’t want my mood to negatively affect my work as an artist. Yes I know art is supposed to be about expression and emotion but some of the emotions I was feeling I didn’t want my reader’s to know about till I was ready to say life is good again. I did this piece this week as an artistic explanations because I thought it would be better than a super long blog post without any art in it which for me is super rare to start with.
