Some paintings

Flash Art

I'm apprenticing at Eye of Lotus, under Dave, to become a tattooer. Here's a few sample of what they call 'Flash Art', that I've copied from other tattooers to demonstrate my copying skills

Various portraits of dudes

Varius portraits of women

Assorted Women, for assorted reasons, in assorted styles

Concept Art

It appears I drew some concept art, while in Vancouver last fall

H.U.R.F, B.L.E.A.H

Elvis Presley said that talent is being able to articulate how you feel and sell it. I've got part 1 down.

Reddit Quickdraw

People posted their photos and I drew them on Reddit last night. Here's a collected version, originals with my as-fast-as-possible rendition. The thread is here. It quickly became unweildy as hundreds flocked to have their stuff drawn. Fortunately there were other artists drawing as well.

Grey Cup Time!

Here's one for the Grey Cup in Edmonton this weekend, for SEE Magazine. I started this one in Vancouver, not thinking I was going to end up back here before finishing it. And according to See, my name is now Fred Curatolo

Notebook #12

#12, the final issue of Notebook magazine is on the shelves. I made these two drawing to accompany some poems by Mona Struthers, at the behest of Steven Teeuwsen, the brains behind the whole operation. I think they turned out pretty decent.

Weasel

These are drawings for Weasel, a weirdo mag out of Oslo. (sorry, no weblink, they're hardcopy only)

Barnloft studio

This is my new summer studio, upstairs in the Prairie Pride barn near Andrew, Alberta (home of the world's largest Mallard duck), and in the vicinity of Stelmach's pig barn. The loft is now fully armed and operational. It took some prep work: I removed five wheelbarrows of crap out of there, then covered myself head to toe in pidgeon and mouse crap pressure spraying the walls and floors. Finally, 6 days after arriving here I'm rolling along on my big boards.
