As promised, here are some images of the pieces I’ve been working on for the “Puppies are Biodegradable Show.” Please note that these images are of pieces I recently started and are thus still in progress.

It might be hard to see, but the background consists of paper glued on and painted over to create texture. The angry red-orange slash in the middle of the painting was part of the original piece. I thought to take it out, but now looking at it, I might try and make it work. The sketch in the bottom left corner is the start of the keg and the surgical supplies will be strewn about on the ground in front of the dog.

This seems a little lopsided, which might be a product of me skewing the image to cut out the wall behind the picture without cropping anything out. As you can see, it’s pretty basic pen and ink over color washes. I really need to introduce some contrast in the color area, it’s a little brown on brown right now.

More to come soon.
