Sancti Calvariam

I’ve come up with some new(ish) things the last couple weeks. I’ve continued to draw and paint on new surfaces, including wood, vinyl, floppy disks, ect. Although some are for sale, the majority of the work I’ve done lately has ended up on the streets of Philadelphia. I’ve revisited the theme of saints, which has been a favorite of mine. Each drawing is done with oil markers, as well as copic markers. They are then installed throughout the city.

They are up all over the city, some prominent, others hidden out of sight. Philly has a very active and diverse street art scene, and it’s share of devoted fans who document it. For a sample of what Philly offers check out Elgrba and DDay521‘s Instagram feeds for a taste.

Iconography

Various Icons on wood panels. I started buying wood plaques for Free Art Fridays, since they tend to fare better in the outdoors (There was a tendency to rain after I put art out). I started out with small 3 inch panels, and slowly moved up. Some were done with a wood burning tools and paint markers, while the larger ones are acrylic and ink.

The Prophet

Gouache and graphite on 9×12 watercolor paper. Available for sale, prints to be available soon.

Revisiting old themes with new ideas. I’m really enjoying these and expect to do quite a few more. I’m getting the hang of using gouache paint (and wishing I had started earlier!), and had been missing working in pencil. Making this illustration made me wonder about what a dinosaur based theology would be like. The idea of combining dinosaurs and religious symbolism seems like an interesting idea. Don’t be surprised by some Byzantine/Orthodox style dinosaur saint illustrating this absurd idea appearing soon!

¡Lucha Libre!

Inspired by a painting I had done a couple years ago, I’ve revisited my lucha libre saint icons. It started out as some stickers, and once I acquired some gouache paints, I started doing them on some canvas panels. They are are of various sized, although I’ll be doing more on 5×7 canvas panels (10-15 more in the near future). They’ll be available for sale through Etsy at economy friendly prices. If there’s a certain saint you want to get the lucha libre treatment, feel free to email me for custom icons.
