Recent Quick Sketch

One of those fun sketches where you load up your canvas with abstract nonsense, and begin pulling things out of it. On a psychological level, I've noticed that I paint more snow scenes during the winter months, even though I'm working from imagination. Interesting.

Splendid work as always!

Hey thanks guys!
Andrew, I refer to these as 'sketches', knowing that they're much more refined than, say, a sketchbook scribble. But in the realm of a painting, they're just a few steps away from being abstract (zoom in to any area and it's basically abstract strokes). To be honest, I find it to be more of a challenge to paint like this, than mindlessly rendering things out. Plus, I just get bored after awhile. As a viewer, I know I like looking at looser paintings more, too. If you haven't already, check out Richard Schmid's legacy of work. He's THE master at this stuff. Unfortunately, his website only contains a very small portion of his work...and it's not high res :(

Hey Marco. I agree with Jason. You need to put a book together. If I can get stuff published then O.M.G. you should be a BLOCKBUSTER.
DO IT!
Anyway, come check out my new portfolio when you can. I put some of the Book illustrations on there.

This one is magnificent Marco... such imagination to it. I'm quite the opposite, I tend to draw and paint tropical places during the winter months :).
