No Doubt for VH1 Save the Music

My next painting for VH1 Save the Music Foundation is of the band No Doubt. They were one of my favorite bands back in the day and they're back together touring through the summer. The band hopes the tour will spark some new inspiration for a new studio album. Limited editions of this painting will be available soon through VH1 and participating galleries. No Doubt liked the painting so much that I also converted it into a tour poster that will follow them on tour so pick one up if you're at the show and support the Save the Music Foundation.

Happy Fathers Day

Here's a drawing of my daughter Lilly in her new flower dress chilling on the sofa.

Digital painting confusion?

Earlier on this blog, I mentioned painting some digital pieces using the software Art Rage and that I really liked the painterly feel and was thinking to introduce the style in my future works. Unfortunately, this statement confused a lot of people to think that my future work would be digital paintings and not my traditional oil on canvas. To end the confusion, these digital paintings are just the preparation steps before I start the actual painting in oil. I was only saying that I like the painterly feel in the digital pieces and I'm going to try to loosen up when I'm truly painting with oil on canvas. I'm a huge fan of digital art, especially digital art that looks like it was created by hand, but for me, my fine art will always be created with some paint, a brush, and a blank canvas. Cheers, Tim

"The Enchantment of Snow White"

Here's the next painting from my Cubist Disney collection, "The Enchantment of Snow White". I'm honored that this original painting is in the private collection of Mr. Herb Barker of Barker Animation. The most difficult and enjoyable part of the process to creating these pieces is the drawing stage. I did about 100 drawings before I got it just right. I'm really excited about these pieces and I think they'll go a long way. Next up is Pinocchio.

Of Mice and Music

As the famous quote goes,"It all started with a mouse." This is my first painting in my new interpretive style inspired by the works of Picasso. One of my many goals as a Disney fine artist is to interpret these beloved stories and characters in a new fresh way. Which is tough because everything has been done, especially with Disney, but I think I've finally found my way and this is it. I'm planning on painting each Disney animated feature by release date starting with Steamboat Willie and then on to Snow White and so on.
