current projects

i've got 2 projects to work on today. one to finish and the other to start.

1. the past few months i've been working on the cd artwork for the new cd of my boyfriend's band, the wayne fishell experiment. i've been painting portraits of everyone who is working on the cd and the portraits will go on the cover and in the cd liner. all are 12"x12", acrylic, and portrait style. my portrait style that is. some of the paintings look like the person and some don't, some look more like paintings while others look more like caricatures, a few i've had to do several paintings to have a finished product that fits the theme of the cd, and a couple i still need to repaint. oh and i still need a photo of one more person! it's been a fun project and i'm looking forward to seeing my artwork up on itunes!
the cd will be out this fall and if you pre-order it (at varying levels of donation) you can get your name in the cd liner!

2. i'm currently organizing a group show at a local coffee shop, inman perk coffee. i have 4 of the 5 total artists that i need for the show so far. today i went to sam flax to get a canvas for my piece that will be in the show. no i haven't even painted it yet. this is the part of the project that i must begin today. i chose a 15"x60" gallery wrapped canvas (so that i don't have to frame it!) and i plan to hang it vertically. and assuming all goes as planned, it's going to be completely from imagination as i've been needing to break open that part of my brain recently. i've been painting from photos and live models too much lately. stay tuned for more details about this show!
