Hey check this out! A new Renaldo & The Loaf – Gurdy Hurding Vinyl from Secret Records is now available! Isn’t it gorgeous?
It’s always an honor doing things for Renaldo and The Loaf and I am really happy I got to do some new art for this piece. The packaging design came together quite well and the colored vinyl looks fabulous. Best of all there’s also new music on Side D, so make sure to pick this one up! Check out renaldoloaf.com and their FB official group for more info on RaTL in general.
Workin’ on making special frames for my art so that the frame is also part of the art itself. Made one for a small jellyfish piece I did back in March, and also made one for a drawing of a costumed chameleon I did. Really liking how these things are working out, which is good because I find traditional framing a bit boring.
Just recently got started painting with casein paints and both the previous painting I posted and this painting are a lot more spontaneous when it comes to composition than most artwork that I do. I’m so used to having to plan stuff out (particularly because I did carefully planned pen and ink drawings for so long), that painting with no strong outcome in mind feels strange but fun. Most of the reason I decided I wanted to work without a plan was because I wanted to practice painting with casein, and I wanted to be able to play around with it and change stuff on a whim and even if I ruined it somehow it wouldn’t be a big deal since I had no particular expectations anyways. Thankfully this one turned out pretty neat. A bit more abstract than usual… but I like it.
