Drivin' Me Wild

I was going through my old hip hop and came across this song that so happens to be by two artists I love. This song has been stuck in my head all week:

And thus... art was created: 
And I liked it so much, I made the lyrics the cover of my sketchbook this year. 

I'll take the time to go back through my sketchbooks and put the covers together, its interesting to see myself in the form of a yearly book. Its like my diary except cool to share and look through.

A Painting a Day

A painting a day keeps this Alex sane.
Here are some goodies I randomly decided to stay up till 2am last night to create. 
I think they are for sale? but more likely I'll probably be giving them to friends. yay! 

Don't Forget Your Baggage
5 x 5'', acrylic on canvas board  

Fuck a Duck 
6 x 6'', acrylic on canvas board 

What happens when you put them together.

Website

Here is a quick website layout I whipped up for my friend Mr. Jacob for a company he works for.
I link the website once it is live if he ends up using my design, but enjoy these layouts in the mean time!

Tattoo

I gots me a new tattoo!!
... it was to cover up a not so good one I got. Under some influences I decided to be a human guinea pig and get a tattoo in a garage.
Then a year or so later went back to the same guy who has gotten tremendously better and now does great work at a real tattoo shop. :)



This flying monkey is by Michael Sieben
It is from his illustrated version of the Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum (that you can pick up here!).



My Mom said I watched the movie so many times when I was little I either broke the video or my she did because she got sick and tired of it! But my Mom liked it just as much as I did and this illustration is so awesome! I really love his work. 

On another artist crush of mine as of lately is Camilla Rose Garcia
I would kill for one of her prints!! ... but at least I got both Alice in Wonderland and Snow White as illustrated by her. 

Both these artists are super amazing! A lot of respect and love for them both.

Terrible Typography

These are type studies I did today 
(in case you didn't notice... I messed up the Rs... D'oh!) 

I did these silly litte things quickly on the side and I feel like they came out better some how! 
Acrylic is just a cool medium.

Shades of Red

My boyfriend gave me this canvas a while ago and now I finally used it!!
Lately I've been inspired to get more "graphic"... so this is what happened:
