New Work by Natan: Cherubs and Roses

As part of a live demonstration for today’s Salem Arts Festival, Natan completed this black and grey cherubs piece. Although he is most well-known for his bold, vivacious, and colorful style, Natan also relishes the opportunity to tackle projects necessitating soft black and grey work. While still maintaining strong foundational elements, this piece allowed Natan the chance to focus primarily on conveying the forms of the cherubs and roses through rendering and tone.

Check out more of Natan’s projects under his portfolio page and give us a call in the shop to book a free consult with him today!

New Painting by Micah

Last night I finally finished up this big watercolor painting I'd been working on. Always a relief with large-scale watercolors to finish 'em and get 'em in a frame before I can spill something on it, someone rests their sandwich on it's luscious flat surface, my dog misreads her spatial perceptions and sleeps on it, etc.

This is actually a study for a piece in progress on my buddy, Trevor. After I started putting the original drawings together for his tattoo, I realized I could probably just rearrange it a bit, have a nice composition for a big painting, and be able to work out all the color theory and special effects in advance. You can check out the tattoo based on this painting under my portfolio page.

bats!

Keep your eyes peeled as, hopefully, I'll have some prints of this painting available soon…

Also, give me a ring in the shop or shoot us an email if you have any of your own crazy ideas we can put together into a big custom piece, such as this!

New work by Molly

Molly just completed this bright, ornate, and colorful feather anklet on one of her clients today. The repeating geometric patterns and highly illustrative style are indicative of Molly's work and this piece proved to be the perfect avenue for her. Although this was the client's first tattoo, she was able to weather the storms and make it through the whole sitting so Molly could finish it up!

Molly is always looking to work on more creative and elaborate custom pieces such as this so make sure to give us a ring in the shop and book out your consult with her today!

New Work by Micah: Sailor Jerry Pinup

Last week I had the good fortune of landing this totally rad Sailor Jerry pinup piece. My client, Adam, is an ex-marine and currently an air marshall and had decided to get some big traditional pieces. I love doing large scale, bold, traditional style work and was glad to get the chance to work on this piece and hang out with him.

New Work by Natan

Last week, Natan got the chance to finish up this half sleeve of imagery relating to the beast of revelation. This piece features an interesting balance of both illustrative and geometric techniques and gave Natan the opportunity to play around with a diverse and out of the ordinary subject matter.
