Posted this in /r/starcraft and got a good response so I thought I’d share it here as well. This was just a 1 hour speed painting.

Hi all,

Here are some sketches, I  hope you will like them!

Here is a new painting for SpokeArt.   It is a companion piece for my earlier Royal Tenenbaums print.

You can get a print here.

Enjoy!

Here’s a new one continuing to push the painterly direction and approach and it is really feeling good. I can’t think of any other recent painting which was as exciting and enjoyable as this was to work on. I’m also tremendously proud to say that this piece will be on display at the Allentown Art Museum for the At The Edge: Art of the Fantastic show from June 3rd through September 9th where it will be hanging in some very distinguished company.

Here’s some by Josh:


The other thing I’m learning is to paint in oils. I am forcing myself to do at least one a month this year (hopefully more). Here’s January’s, my rather pink bathroom (6″x8″):
