your Final Solution
Art has been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. For the most part, I don’t think I’ve been especially good at it, but that never stopped me from doing it, I did it for ME and know one else. I taught myself how to tattoo at 18 years old and stated my own shop when I was round 25 in 2001. In 2006 I once again taught myself a new form of art, how to paint with an airbrush and it’s via the airbrush that I think myself, as an ‘artist’ has been fully realised. Since I started painting in 2006 I’ve done nearly 300 paintings, mostly onto cardboard (which I still have) and then other onto canvas, steel, a couple of cars and helmets and even onto a girls prosthetic lower leg. I love the versatility of the airbrush, I can literally paint onto almost anything.
I have a particular style to my painting which I love, its kid of alien type looking, and some say evil and dark but it’s not my intention to paint dark and evil, that’s just how it comes out. I love doing commissioned type work and doing portraits, taking something normalish looking and totally messing with it. I find a lot of inspiration from emotive photographic portraits, which is why a lot of my work features people’s faces.
Within the last 2 years I’ve also started dabbling in the digital realm. While I love other artists bright coloured paintings and don’t like doing them myself, that was until I started getting into doing more digital. Maybe its laziness lol, too much mess, not so with doing art in Photoshop, all very clean and tidy although you have to figure out how to paint via computer which is not the easiest thing in the world to do.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy my artwork as much as I enjoy creating it.
