Digital Landscape Study

I have been painting landscapes lately, I gave digital painting another go.

I try to post here when I can, but if your on "instagram" I am as well. I post more often on there. Instagram: tyjones78 .

Enjoy and thank you for your time ;)

Pen and Ink

I've been away from my blog for a long time. I've been working hard at school,  and on my own time trying to improve my art and myself while settling into my new home/apartment. Busy busy busy busy. Anyway, here is one of my favorite sketches/works of 2013. Enjoy and Happy New Year.

I'm in a.....Show?

One of many reasons I haven't posted anything lately is because I have been getting ready for a show. My life is so busy right now, i have been accepted into a college that I feel is a good fit for me...now time to look for a place to live. If i don't post anything for a long while this is why . Anyway here is the flier for the group show I'm in ......

Mixed media paintings

I have been meaning to post these, but due to their size they are too big for the scanner I have access to. Photographing them was quite the task.

The first one I did in the fall of 2012. Yet again I wanted to challenge myself with a portrait of Steve Buscemi. I learned a lot about fleshy colors on this one, plus Steve Buscemi's face was sooo fun to draw and paint.  It was a blast.

I did this piece in the spring of 2011 for a student art show. This was a huge break through in my painting techniques.

Figure drawings 2012

Here are some figure drawings i did in the fall of 2012. All of them are 18 X 24 which makes them hard to photograph.

Landscape painting 01

How youz doin? It has been a while since my last post... I've been super busy sorting my life out. I've been trying to get into college and its taking a lot of time away from me ......Anyway, lately I have been really pushing myself as I should be. I've never really liked landscape painting of any kind, but that was partly because I didn't know how to do it. So I took a shot at it, and for my first time doing it I think I did ok. 

 enjoy!! and take care!

Acrylic Paintings

 1.) I don't have a title for it so I'll just call it The Rocker Girl. This was an experiment with the background. I have been researching new techniques and experimenting– by combining different thing all at once to create something special. So far I am happy with the results, but they still needs more..

2) This is a diptych of two different forces good and evil on the same level, down and out.
For the most part these two are done. I just need to add some small details... Also for some reason the green in the jacket and the red skin isn't that bright, the scanner was being strange? Anyway enjoy!!

Study

I used to draw monsters and the bizarre when I was a kid (though theses are a bit cute-sy for me). I've been trying to tap back into it. I have to say it was fun!

 Sketches = Fun!

Old man

Sorry I haven't posted much lately. I had a series of tragedies in my life all in one weekend, and then it was my Birthday....Yaaay, not really.. 

Anyway here is a digital sketch/painting of an old man.

I should have a good amount of sketches and paintings coming up this month. I'll post my work as soon as my life settles down.

respect all life, Take care,

Late night sketching.. Not a big fan of portraits etc. but I gave it a go. I have to say it was a challenge, but I did enjoy it.

For the past couple of weeks I've been drawing and painting (in acrylics) some weird but funny characters. I had one that I liked so much I did a digital painting of it. Here it is, enjoy.

P.S. I'll post the acrylic paintings when I can, at the moment I don't have access to a scanner.

Backside event

This is just a view before the show got going. As I recall this little shop/gallery got even more jam packed after the music acts started.

Tony, on the left obviously, one of the three Owners of Backside

From Left to right: Daniel from the band What Hands Are For, Cody Jones owner of Anchor eighty four records, and one of the more friendly art/music goer's Pete.

I believe our first musical act of the night was Rob Roy, an insanely awesome Hip Hop artist, and a genuine dude.

Rob sits and reads a book in between verses to let the beat ride out. One of my favorite parts.

The second Music act What Hands Are For

 Daniel lead vocals tore it up

 This is my favorite photo, I love the contrast between the screaming girl on the left and the screaming bass player on far right. Its as if  the bass player was mocking the crazed fan.

And then there was me

Up close pictures of my art work from this show are available on earlier posts.

A little while ago I was involve with a music/art show in LA I have been meaning to post these. Here are some photos taken at the show I was involve with at Backside in LA

Cartoons! Bam!

 I was given a set of Prismacolor pens as a gift from a friend a while back, and I had been feeling a bit guilty I hadn't been using them.. For the past week I have been using my pens on some of my sketches. These are but a few. More to come, enjoy –T.J.

Sketches and Studies

Here is some more Work/ Sketches/ studies I did over the winter holiday.. 

Above : I generally just wanted to do a bunch of characters in different positions. This was really fun to do.

Below : For the past few months I have been saving clothing catalogues and using the models in them as a reference it is free and it is a good way to develop ones skills......enjoy
