I'm preparing to start a series of paintings that is somewhat ambitious for me. They are going to be 2 x 4 feet, which is larger than I've ever worked, and being that I've never been formally trained in painting it's somewhat intimidating. Viva la fear! I'm not sure if that even makes sense.
The paintings are going to be of blue collar workers in my character style. For the backgrounds I'm planning on screen printing a custom repeat pattern. Each character will have his own pattern with imagery taken from or inspired by his profession. Here are a few that I've recently finished, but still working on the color schemes. (Note, I've cropped them down so they won't actually repeat cleanly if you download them.)
Stay tuned for more updates and progress photos.
