Count Dracula

Just finished another painting recently. I based it off an great old photo of Bela Lugosi as Dracula. I wasn't too thrilled with it at first but its starting to grow on me. I was worried that Bela looked more like Norm McDonald or Jimmy Carr than himself.  I love Lugosi's movies. The cheaper and cornier the better.
This is 18 x 24, acrylic on canvas


I stopped to visit Lugosi's grave while on a trip to LA back in 2001

More Paintblogging: Poison Apple part 2

I was hoping to have a lot more of this painting done by now, but I got a new job that has been eating up a ton of my time. I've gotten a lot done on it and I'm happy with how it has been going.
I'd like to say I'm going to take more pictures and do more blog updates, but I just know thats not going to happen.

More Paintblogging: Poison Apple

I'm gonna try my hand at some paintblogging again. This time its from a drawing of the Old Hag from "Snow White". I originally drew the scene a few years ago, but I thought I could do a better job so I went back and drew it again. I did the coloring in photoshop to help decide what colors I want to use on the painting.


Then I re sketched the image onto a 12 x 24 canvas.



Next I get to crack out the paints again. I'll post some more updates when I get further along.
