Kids, Kids, Kids

I realized as I was looking over my portfolio that I could use some more artwork involving kids. In an effort to fix this mistake I'm adding some paintings I've been working on. I've still got some more pictures to add, but they may have to wait a little while so I can finish up some of my other projects.

IF: Beneath

I had hoped to get this loaded sooner. my thought was to represent the varying people "beneath" the culture. Let me know what you think.
Chinese Dragon

IF: Spooky

Yeah I know it's not terribly "spooky", except maybe that tree in the background. At any rate this image will also serve as my Halloween mailer so. . . HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I do love Halloween. Hopefully everyone is getting their costumes ready, and not just going as "an un-costumed person". Be safe!


Masks not Included

IF: Star gazing

Star gazing and roasting marshmallows. I'd love any feedback.

IF: Acrobat

Death defying acrobatics!
Let me know what you think.



"Circus Peanuts"

IF: Revenge

I did this one a while ago but I felt like it fit the theme enough to re-post it for illustration friday. Let me know what you think.

Introductions

Yet again this is a drawing for the Brotique blog. the topic was introductions. I got to use my new brush pen on this one. It is definitely my new favorite toy.

New Website

In the attempt to look more professional, I've got a new website you can find it at www.mattloveridge.com It's by no means perfect but I'm still working on it. That way I can have all my best stuff on that site and still screw around having fun on this one. If your bored go check it out.

IF: Launch

I have to admit I came up with this a while ago for a different project, but I'm going to re-use it because I think it works with the theme. The original idea was to finish it in color, but I got busy writing some other poems to go with it and never got around to it. Of course I kind of like the pencil look. Let me know what you think.

Brotique: "I thought it couldn't get any worse"

This is my latest piece for the brotique blog. I've been trying out this style with the ink and brush, colored with color and texture sampled from other paintings I've done. I'd love to hear comments or suggestions. To read or see some of the other guys stuff from brotique go here http://brotique.blogspot.com/
