Bounty Hunters: Part II

Completed Commission Resin Painting (figures included)

(Digital Sketch used for the painting)

Finally finished this massive piece (58 lbs of resin!)  Lots of fun working with the most notorious gang of villains in the galaxy.  Here’s a video of the painting itself to see the depth and layering of the resin and the encased action figures. (You can even use the Chromadepth glasses while watching it…it’s still in 3D.)

Here are some of the videos I found on Youtube that inspired me (and made me laugh as well) when I needed to take a break from painting…. ENJOY!

 

Bounty Hunters

Empire Strikes Back

It is the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, so I decided to create a piece fitting of the film. Even though the bounty hunter’s scene lasted for only a few moments, it was enough to fuel the imagination of thousands of fans. (Including: Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and many more!) I’ve enjoyed watching Disney’s “Gallery” and the “round table” discussions with the directors.  Funny how these characters were all just “static” (IG-88 was a stationary character with only his head moving), but they became so iconic!

Trying to get them ALL into one artwork was a challenge, but after hours of working, I finally got one I liked. (Grab those 3D Chromadepth glasses…)

Here’s Boba Fett (and partial Bossk) in process (notice the figure towards the bottom right side).

Here’s the “glamorous” studio where I get to work…  Keep checking back for more updates!  I should be completing the work this month! 20200625_123757

Ainas Magazine – “Back to the Future”

AINAS: Issue No. 5. 3/2019

Italian art magazine “Ainas” published an article on my resinance painting style in the March issue.  “Back to the Future” article (pg 14-25) showcases 5 of my artworks:  Rogue One: K-2S0, Boba Fett, Rogue One: Scariff Trooper, Wonder Woman and Charging Durham.  I had the pleasure of meeting a few “out of town” visitors during my show at Artspace Raleigh last fall.  They were so interested in my artwork, they wanted to place it in their magazine (thank you, by the way!)  I was joined by Ollie Wagner (also from Artspace, Raleigh) as part of that article.  You can check out Ollie’s artwork HERE.

Both have the Action Figure inside (just don’t try to dig your way to the bottom of the cereal box for these guys…. lots of resin to get through!)  Stop by my table in ARTIST ALLEY and say hello to the the rest of my crew.

Thank you to the new owners of this Star Wars 3D Resinance piece.  Lots of people turned out for September’s “FIRST FRIDAY” event in downtown Raleigh.  My show on the 2nd floor is still continuing through the end of October.  I’ll be there on FRIDAY, OCT. 5th for the last “First Friday” event for my work.

Raleigh’s “First Friday” event kicked off with my largest show to date at ARTSPACE.  Lots of visitors with of 3D GLASSES…and plenty of astonished people.  I have to thank: Annah Lee, Katie Gunter and Brett Morris for selecting 9 pieces to show (with 6 being exhibited for the first time).  Brett: WONDERFUL JOB on the install and lighting.  Seeing “Millions of Miles from Earth” with the light penetrating the resin and casting the color on the wall was outstanding.

It’s always fun to be the “Fly on the Wall” and hear people’s first reactions when they view my 3D art for the first time.  Usually, it’s “Wow!” or “OMG”. Sometimes it’s, “What the #$@% is this!”  (and that’s in a good way…) But last night, I heard something new; a response that I thought fits the type of feeling I had when I first figured out my RESIN-ANCE technique:

“I NEVER IMAGINED THAT THIS WAS POSSIBLE!”

The show will remain up through the end of October (on the 2nd floor).

I hope you stop by Artspace, Raleigh, enjoy the 3D Art and take a look at the other great artists too (on exhibit or in the studios.)
