孫悟空元気大麻 (Son Goke Genki Dama)

This was a very large pice of wood featuring the legendary comic book here Goku, or kakarot as his rival Vegeta refers to him by. I think the air brushing on the genki dama (spirit bomb) and around the trees added a pretty dope lighting effect.

自殺の武士 (Suicide Samurai)

Yet another ukiyo-e style painting, one i is quite fond of however. This one is the自殺の武士or suicide samurai in english. This guy is pretty badass, even by my standards. Gettin fuked up just dont phase em, i really wouldnt wanna be the homies he's tryin to get to thats for sure.

年11月月

A picture of the moon I painted. Judging by the leave less trees it's safe to say its around the end of november in the picture. Nuff' said.

自殺侍武蔵

I decided to write the Captions for my ukiyo-e stylings in kanji/hiragana/katakana. It translates to 'suicide samurai & musashi', both of which were more recent acrylics completed around the end of march - early april 2011.

Ico

Yet again another japanese inspired piece, however this one is styled very different from the former ukiyo-e paintings I've been doing. I wanted to move away from the simple solid colours and defining outlines of the ukyo-e pieces to a more surrealist style, if only for a few paintings. As you can see this piece required a lot of blending and amalgamations of well, green, yellow and shit like that. And so you know, this was taken from the european box art for the critically acclaimed ps2 game ICO. If you've ever seen the north american box art, well you'll know why i didn't choose to paint that, and probably why the game just didn't sell over here. e-z.

Ukiyo-E Part 2

As I said, I've been doing some ukiyo-e inspired shit. So here was the second piece in the set. Both pieces were painted on some ikea stock painting that i found and smothered with primer. I think they look much better now, dont u?

Ukiyo-E

There's only so many pics i can upload at once, and this shit is hard to capture in 1 pic, so my next set will be in pieces. These pictures are influenced by the ukiyo-e style paintings from 19th century Jpan. I was scheduled to go there, but the ongoing nuclear crisis put that shit on hold for a bit. Ive been doing alot of these lately, and will continue to do so. Here is the first of many, a samurai war scene. ez
