Orville Peck.

Orville Peck is pure magic. I only just discovered him and he's on the rise. He just released his CD back in March, Pony, and it's GREAT. He's a western crooner mixed with Roy Orbison. Don't even get me started on his amazing outfits. Matt and I are going to drive to Cleveland to see him in October! So, I messed around with a different style and technique with this. I used ink for the fringe mask, but it's too shiny. I'll keep messing around, but I feel like I'm onto something.

Cooper.

I had the honor and privilege of painting Cooper: a dog with an interchangeable Elvis mouth that had a Detroit Tigers collar. I'm told he would've loved it and that's all that matters.

Building Portrait.

I had someone ask me if I could paint a building of the place where they looked just like Pam does in The Office. I knew exactly what she was referencing and I honestly tried to channel Pam as best as I could. It's a little MORE fleshed out than Pam's, but THIS WAS MY FIRST BUILDING PAINTING AND I AM HAPPY WITH IT! I used gouache!
