Mr. Miyagi…

So the Graveyard Tavern opening night was a hit! No it wasn’t a firesale or anything of the sort, but by all means it was a success. We began setting up around 7 and were ready to go by 9- more or less. The support from friends was overwhelming but unfortunately there is no photographic evidence.

The work will be up through the rest of the month so be sure to check it out. Buuut if you can’t make it then pay attention to the blog in the coming weeks to see the works that debut the work of Sunflowerman on the Atlanta art scene.

Mr Miyagi (already sold =] ) was the headliner of the show. If you haven’t made it out then here is a taste of what you missed.

At the End of the World

After all the nuclear radiation has half-lifed out, there is still life on earth…

The past and the present…

I’m back at it again. Here’s a little twist… Instead of a person on an animal I put a robot on a dinosaur. Big deal.

Beer and Wine

So, as I do on occasion, I came to the call of my amazing bosses (for a fee of course). Some designing needed to be done and as the resident artist I was obviously the man for the job. Recently the restaurant had acquired a nice chalkboard that Terry (affectionately T-Wayne) decided would be good for some advertisements of alcohol.

I picked up some very nice chalk-paint at Sam Flax and went to work. The images below describe what followed…

 

 

 

 

 

Death Eaters

Below is a taste of a project I am working on dealing with resurrection. It’s about life and death, sacrifice and selfishness.

These little guys are 5×7 acrylic illustrations. Each is a small grisaille- initially painted in gray scale then covered in colored glazes. They are part of a myriad of similar sized and themed paintings that will be hanged together to tell a story.

Man, Animal Watercolors…

I decided to post these together because I don’t believe that either of them really have the merit to stand alone. Each is smaller than their wood counterpart and carry with them less of an impact of details.

With that said, I really like how they turned out. The first was the vulture which has in it a conceptual basis. The second is the surfer which was more or less a fun painting to get done before the show last Friday.
