I’ve always been a fan of Alfred Hitchcock and the way he directs stories in his movies. Last night, I was thinking about him as I came across a DVD box set and decided to do some thumbnails for a tribute piece to Alfred. After some fine tuning, I may eventually turn this into an oversized piece of painterly pop art and stick it on a wall somewhere.

Recently, I’ve rediscovered art. It my sound odd to hear since I constantly work on an array of designed communication vehicles for clients, but this is different. What I like about it most is the process. First preparing the canvas for paint, sketching (old school I know), applying the first bit of color by hand, and then constantly stepping back 10 feet to look at the progress. I will admit that it is a relatively slow process, but I think there is something to be said for things made by hand, verses produced with a printer.
Below is my latest piece – nearly finished at the stroke of midnight thursday after about 30 hours of painting and listening to hours of Black Sheep, A Tribe Called Quest, Hepcat, and Desmond Dekker. I’m not sure whats next on my list to paint, but I will gladly share it when its finished.
