I ended up doing two paintings for the latest Maverix Studios auction this time. To learn more about the auction, check out the MAVERIX link on the right.
The first painting is called RagnaROCK. Hopefully I can put my obsession with drawing vikings to rest now that this painting has gotten it out of my system? This is 8"X10" acrylic on illustration board
The painting below is my second for the auction, and is quite obviously titled, "She Dreams of Pop Stardom." When I set out to do the two paintings, I had no intention of making them thematically linked by music, but it happened. When I was sketching out the viking, he was holding an actual axe and then I thought what if he's holding an AXE? Next thing I knew, I was drawing a guitar. Then I moved onto the girl, and the title popped into my head. I also decided I wanted to do something that incorporated lettering. This one is 5"X7" Acrylic and Gouache on watercolour paper. The lettering is gouache, everything else is Acrylic.

John I just won Ragnarock in the auction 30 minutes ago. I love it!
Brutally rock and roll...
Will there be more band members coming along? One lone viking dude does not a band make...
Superb work !!!
How have you been? Nice piece. I'm pretty disappointed I missed the auction.
Thanks everybody!
Le, I'm disappointed you missed it as well. Good times.
Sweet Viking. I wish I could have been a the auction.
That Racknarock is a helluva painting. Nice job! I endeavor to paint as well as that.
Makes me think of my oldest son on Guitar Hero. Drop me a line. :-)
