Here's one I just finished last night that I'm very happy with... and it's trans related so I thought you might be interested in seeing it.

I really like the colours that you have used.
I also like the purpleish background in the second picture :D
What did you use for the colours?

Haha thanks! Those two are digital. I drew them in Paint Tool SAI, and did the backgrounds in Photoshop.
I did a bunch of pictures in that style last year, too. http://sketchbooksly.blogspot.com/2010/12/possessed-by-christmas-spirit.html (http://sketchbooksly.blogspot.com/2010/12/possessed-by-christmas-spirit.html)

I went out for coffee earlier today... it was sunny when I left, but started storming while I was there. I wasn't at all dressed for rain so I had to just wait it out. Drew people while I was waiting!

Very nice. Good eye for general aesthetics. I especially like how you play with such vibrant colors.
I'm going to have to follow your work if ya don't mind.

Heh thanks Kamren.
So I have a few muses that I like to draw. One that keeps appearing in my sketchbooks is these mask wearing, extremely elongated people... although this one seems to be a headless spirit of some kind that just has a floating mask. Whatever. I love exaggerating anatomy in weird ways like this.

woah i love this one! the colors, the... heh, i'm not a graphic artists... but i like how the trees are drawn, and the texture of the bushes, and the placement of the spirit and the mask especially! the headless spirit thing is cool- it resonates somehow with me :)

I love this new one a lot! The texture in the acrylics really adds to your stylization. Nice work :)

Wow, I really love your style! It's very unique and really interesting to look at.
And I love your blog post on how you paint with acrylics. I've been itching to paint lately, and your art just makes me wanna scratch it more. If only I had a canvas...

One thing I've learned about paint is that it doesn't easily come out of clothes. So I thought, why not paint a shirt?

I want to wear it at Pride... which is still a ways off. But I'm excited to be going for the first time this year.
