Now at 14 I am done

Mon Sep 14, 2009, 8:20 AM
Ok, so I said that the series would be done at 12 but I lied. I do that from time to time (more than I admid lol). The series has been expanded to 14 with the last two being a Train Station front and a skyline piece. Both came out very nicely and very large works. The train station ended up the main piece in the series. Take a look. I titled the collection "VANCOUVER LOOKING UP" All done from a child's perspective of living in a city (Me as a matter of fact) and these are the things I saw growing up here.

Now, what am I up to now that I have finished this series (which took almost a year and a half to complete...over 250 hours of work on these 14 pieces.) what am I going to do now? Good question,,,I have approached a writer and a voice over artist to collaborate on a series of 12 paintings (multimedia stencil backgrounds and textured forground) of a character and his adventures with a mental handicap, dead parents, a heroine high and an untimely death. It is for "The Fringe Festival" next year. Pretty shock and awe type stuff. Should be crazy fun. Look for it in the future.

Other than that, I am still at the coffee shops at 3am, drawing and sketching weird shit I see modeling for me anytime I wish it. Coffee, bud, exaustion and a 5B pencil. This is the story of my life. Take a look at my sketches coming. They are twisted.

Tell all yer friends about me and have a nice day.

Hello JJShaver,

last week I saw the henna tattoo of the german eagle in your website-gallery and I want to know if you can send me the motive of this eagle because I'm very interested in getting this tattoo.

it was from a tshirt for a german soccer team. I don't watch soccer but it was pretty important to this guy I did the henna for. I think it is a well know symbol for some prominant soccer team in germany is all I know. I hope this helped. It's a nice design. Good luck and thanks for the kind words.
