Acrylic Pour Paintings on Canvas / Wood

      Heynow! It's been a while since I have posted and I'm sorry about that. I will try and do better with adding artwork and ideas to my blog. Anyway, I've been doing a lot of acrylic pour paintings and I'd like to share them below: (all the paintings below can be found on my Etsy Shop

Gemstone

My first pour

Leia

My first silhouette pour

(I used princess Leia for the silhouette)

Han

My second silhouette pour

(I used Han Solo for the silhouette)

And Your Bird Can Sing

I used painters tape to get the shape on the polygon bird

My first test using painters tape

Nervous System

Using glow in the dark painting

The slightly lighter paint is glow in the dark.

It looked a lot better when I poured it because it was white colored but once it dried, it became translucent. It looks good under a black light but in the day light, not so much.

Northern Lights

Psychedelic Sherbet

I upcycled this goodwill find and it looks like the superman ice cream so that's why I like the title of this one.

The Mandalorian

I was excited to make a Mandalorian painting before season 1 came out and I'm still invested in it during season 2. A great show and a great painting.

Perennial Millennial

A confusing name but it rhymes.

Another upcycle from goodwill. This was a plaque to mount a deer head so I did a pour using the string pull technique. I've done a few of those and they have turned out great. I'll probably do some more and adding a silhouette.

Wonka

The colors remind me of a Wonka candy bar from the movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory".

Big Blue Nation

I cut this piece of plywood out in the shape of my state and had no idea what to do with it. I also routed the outside shape to make it have dimension. After I did that, I decided to do a pour and this is how it ended up.

Halloween Cat

This is another upcycle from goodwill. I found this thought it was a cool shape to do a pour on. At the time, it was around Halloween so I used Halloween colors (orange, purple, black).

Emerald Starburst

This is probably my favorite so far. Mainly because I applied a resin finish to it but the glittery paint I used sets it off! This was also my first time using the lazy susan to spin the canvas and get a galaxy feel to it.

     That's all the canvas / wood acrylic pour paintings that I have so far. I'll have another post about the vinyl record pours and the latest wooden pixel art paintings too. Later peeps

Beatlemania Review

     Heynow. Tuesday night my buddy Dave and I went to Hazard, KY to see Beatlemania. His friend couldn't make it but the trip was still fun. I drove to Barbourville after work in Middlesboro. We meet up at the Wal-Mart and I had to get a couple of things to fix an office chair I got from Casey, Ashley and her family. It's pretty old and I was going to fix it up.
     Anyway, we were on our way to Hazard through Manchester. We got lost a little getting there but when we got there, there were a lot more older people than younger. With the Beatles: Rock Band, I kinda figured that there were going to be a younger crowd. Oh well, so the show started and they go from 1962 to 1969. They were dressed up in nice suits and they had their mannerisms down to a tee. They played the songs and they were great.
     Then it was intermission. We went outside and Dave had a cigarette and made a few phone calls. The ladies that sat to my left walked by and said something like "There's my buddy! Could you save our seats?". I have no idea who that was but I gave them the okay sign. You could tell that they had the scent of whiskey and coke. After the intermission, the show continued and they came out in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band costumes. After that era, three changed costumes while one sang one song then he changed. They were then in Let It Be era clothing. While the second part of the event was going on the yenta next to me was bumping into me and yelling out the wrong lyrics. Around the end of the show, she apologized and I said it was okay but it was still annoying. The over all concert was great. I really wanted to get up on stage and play Taxman or Daytripper.
     So after the concert we headed to the Hazard Wal-Mart. That took a long time to do because we got lost multiple times. When we finally got there we walked around and goofed off. I felt a little car sick but it faded. We had to quickly get out of Wal-Mart but we got some Subway sandwiches. While I was eating my sandwich I had that car sick feeling again. I stopped eating and rolled my window down a little to get some fresh air. It didn't really help. We finally goto Manchester and when Dave had to turn around, I told him to stop. I then threw up my sandwich. After that, I lied down and almost fell asleep.
     When we arrived at Barbourville, I realized I had to drive back home. So that was an hour of driving slow and making sure my eyes wouldn't close for over a second. Luckily, there was no one driving at 12:40am. I finally got home, put up my quarter piece of sandwich in the refrigerator and made a call into work that I wasn't going to come in that day. The next day, I had the day off which was great because I slept late and edited the video link below.

I also edited my music playlist and fixed up that office chair. I ordered five new wheels for the chair because the old wheels are rusty and clogged up.
     I am now at work and reflecting the other night. The after concert stuff sucked besides being in Wal-Mart and goofing around with Dave and the camera. I guess that's the story. I will try to paint some more today when I get home. I also need to go to the grocery store after work. Oh well, later.

Beatlemania and Paintings

     Hello world. Today should be interesting. Dave, his friend, and I are going to Beatlemania in Hazard, KY. Entry is $15 at 7:00PM and it should be really fun. It's great because I don't really go out that much and it'll be my second "mainstream" concert ever. I've been to plenty of concerts like my brothers bands years ago and my own concerts when someone would bring me out to do a song or two and I've played at parties too. One of my favorite gigs was when I did the lights for my brothers band, Wisdom. That night the opening band was either named Black Cherry or Buck Cherry. I can't remember the name but they later got a big hit song. I didn't really give them that good of a light show :). I felt like a true roadie that night. I was bringing in equipment, hanging out with my brothers and the other guys of the band and it was a very fun time. My first "mainstream" was a Foo Fighters concert in Charlotte, NC back in Oct. 5th 2007. Anyway, I might be bringing my Flip camera to the event and I'll post it here and YouTube. 

     Here are two new Black & White paintings that was completed yesterday. I have the other three canvases sketched out already. This first one is "Dwight Schrute" from the NBC show "The Office".

Sold at the Daniel Boone Festival (Arts & Crafts)

This next one is "Darth Vader" from the movies "Star Wars".

For Sale!

     They're very simple paintings and they were fun to do. Both paintings and the other three future paintings are for sale. I also posted these pictures on Facebook.
