We’ve been in our “new” place for about 9 months or so now, and we’ve still only put up one piece of art.   Here is a giclee print of my work “The Searchers” on canvas. It is a great feeling whenever I see a piece of my digital art out in the real world.    This photo is from about 2 months ago…  yeah I  know, I need to post more often.

This is one of the few pieces of  my digital art that exists in a physical format.  You could say this is an extremely limited edition piece.  The only other one hangs in the home of my friend Mr. Jason Fanoe.

You can see this piece and more of my art here.

Behold! This is the humble beginning of my next guitar. (Guitar number 6 for those keeping score.) I’m taking to “Doc” Keith Holland at the Guitar Hospital tomorrow.

Some details:
Body: Res-O-Glas fiberglass in the Valco Supro Airline style by Guitar Kits USA
Neck: Eastwood Guitars Airline reproduction
Pickups: 2 GFS Humbuckers from Guitar Fetish dot com

This axe is going to be a serious Rock ‘n Roll machine! I’m going for a modern minimalist look with only 2 knobs (volume) and a 3-way pickup selector.
Though I’m doing a modern take on this vintage design in general, I’m opting for a retro Bigsby-style tremolo system. On the electronics side of things, I’m skipping tone knobs entirely. More importantly I’m getting these humbucker pickups coil-tapped. I’ll have a wider spectrum of sounds available as I can switch from single-coil to double-coil pickup sounds on a whim.

Here’s a preview of I want this guitar to be:

Stay tuned for progress on this project…

So two years ago I made a digital painting called “The Searchers”.   I’ve been thinking about their world and their story, so here are two character designs as well as the original image that sparked it all. These were done entirely in photoshop.

Well actually, I forgot about it. It’s not like it was stolen or anything – it was on my protable hard drive the whole time. Anyway, this was  done in like an hour or so in photoshop.

Finally! I just finished it. This is the first of a new series.
