1. iPad Pro (Day 20)

   2016-06-17 00:12:00 UTC
   With the iPad Pro combined with hard work I’ve noticed a newfound confidence in my work. No longer am I concerned about every line being precise and controlled. It reminds me of gesture drawing and painting at ECA and School of Visual Arts a few years later. My art has…

   This past weekend was a lot of fun. I spent the day in New York City and got some iPad Painting in before my shift at The Tie Bar Pop Up shop. First I went to The Studio Museum in Harlem to do some studies in Procreate and ArtRage before…

3. iPad Pro (Day 18)

   2016-06-09 12:59:00 UTC
   Yesterday I participated in Ross Woodward’s Career Day. I love talking to kids of all grade levels about the work I’m doing and inspiring them. It’s my favorite kind of volunteer work because it’s rewarding for both me and them. Superheroes were the order of the day so I created…

4. iPad Pro (Day 17)

   2016-06-07 17:49:00 UTC
   For my paintings today I switched to ArtRage on iPad Pro to put it through it’s paces. For the uninitiated, ArtRage is pretty much a studio painting simulator. You get access to oils, watercolors, paint tubes, markers and more. I’ve been using it for years and have created some of…

6. Commissions Breakdown: Comic Portrait

   2016-06-01 16:56:00 UTC
   Since I’m open for commissions for the Spring/Summer season I wanted to take the time to breakdown the services I offer.  First is the “comic book” portrait. The client gives me a photo for reference and I create a freehand illustration. This can be a cartoony version of your friend,…

8. “Kingdom Come Superman” iPad Painting

   2016-05-31 22:31:00 UTC
   I wanted to thank my Uncle Steve for the fashion photos he took of me while I was in Minnesota last month. Like me he’s a big comic book collector so it was only natural to paint an icon like Superman. The painting is based on artwork by Alex Ross…

9. “Uncle Curt and Baby Stella” iPad Painting

   2016-05-29 16:11:00 UTC
   I really wanted to challenge myself with the iPad Pro. Just to see what I could come up with over a long period of time. My Mom had a picture of my Uncle and cousin that she thought would make a great painting. Generally I don’t paint multiple subjects in…

    I’m back at it with some personal work on the iPad Pro. Also I had my friend and fellow artist, DaNE Smith try his hand at some iPad Art. We were in a crowded bar and the true tone display held up nicely. As for my pieces I created some…
