Westworld Portrait Series
I am setting out on a Westworld portrait series. All pieces will be done with india ink and Pilot Parallel Pens, which mix to create a nice blended, rough, blueish hue to the india ink. Each portrait will feature one character as well as a handwritten quote. I will be adding pieces to this post as I finish them up! Stay tuned.

Jimi Hendrix Animated Work In Progress
This is the first piece in a series I am doing on the "27 Club". All the paintings will be album cover sized and feature Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain and Jim Morrison. This shows the first in the series (Hendrix) from pencil sketch to finished product. I think I need some more steps in there and each short doesn't align perfectly but you get the idea.

Lyricist Lounge
A bit inadvertently I realized I had a nice series of some of my favorite hip hop artist, which have lyrics incorporated into the painting. Each pic above, shows the full piece and then some details where you can see the lyrics incorporated. Creates a nice feel. Who should I paint next in the series? Black Thought? Biggie? ODB?
