Here are some illustrations that I made a few weeks ago, they were all done really fast so they look kinda unfinished (thats why I might retouch them somewhere in the future, because I’m not really satisfied with the way they tunred out)
Anyways, I hope u guys like’em though ^^

Been pretty busy at work, and life, and what not.
here are some doodles that have been on my desktop, some stuff I do after work.
I also have a new blog that ill be updating regularly.. hopefully.
I spent the whole weekend shut in my room painting, and these are the fruits of my labor…
You may remember these ones from a blog post some months ago. I went back and repainted these, in hopes to exhibit them. The originals to these were done en plein air, so I took them back in the studio and used photographs to finish them.
This nocturne was done a while back, but the ground was ill-defined, and I’m much more happy with the colors of the trees and such, and you can tell there is a fence in the foreground now…
A new nocturne, done from a photo I took the same night.
A brand new landscape, from start to finish, took about 7 hours, basically my whole day today. It’s 11×14, I’m happy with this painting because it feels larger than it actually is, something really desirable to have in a landscape I think.
These two were finished last week actually, but I’m now putting them up online. The painting of the nude outdoors was from the same River series from a few months back. I was looking at a lot of Arthur Matthews, I think the main thing I took away from it was making the color of the clouds more interesting.. There is a lot of variation, I think it looks a lot better than just your plain whites and grays…
This was a plein air painting done at Ghiradelli Square last Saturday. I spent a good deal of time on the buildings. I was going to attempt to add some people to this painting, but my friend who was with me suggested that I do a dog instead… I was gonna try and freestyle it, but then I thought of the store next to me, a high-end pet boutique. The sign hanging above it had a picture of a chihuahua in a ridiculous pink dress. So I threw that in the lower-left hand corner. We ended up going in there and showing the sales girl the painting. Little did we know that the little dog was in there chillin in her bed. My god it was a cute dog… Anyways, enjoy…
Today our blog turns two! And in order to celebrate such a wonderful occasion we decided to make some art, cause that’s what this all is about after all. In order to give it a more interesting twist, each of us got to cover, reinvent, reinterpret, make some fanart and give our own personal flavor to the work of another Gorilla. It was an exciting experience and the results are just awesome and fresh.
Ladies and gents, on to the artz:

Crazy amazing art being posted guys, always feel intimidated showing stuff here! just some Random stuff and my two tarot card pics for the team Chow thing.(And yes, I owe a lot to Phil Hale with some of these)



hello all, it’s been a while.. some recent enviro scribbles.
oh and happy new year :P
cheers, Min










Firstly just want to say thanks to all the gorillas posting for the huge inspiration boost, you guys make posting here a scary experience! But in a good tingly way..
Secondly thanks for the great response to my first post here. I received a lot of great thoughtful comments and it made me realise how similar our journeys are :)
I have gotten to a good start this year and have finished a few big works. This is my fave of them so far- its about 30 by 60 cm. I hope you like it. Shouldn’t be too hard to guess the themes and ideas. I hope I can translate the same concepts into oils succesfully, although I am still experimenting with pastels.
