Portrait: Sean Kilpatrick

Another painting that am currently working on, with portraiture and tattoos being the main focus. This painting is of a good friend of mine, Sean Kilpatrick, and this work had been a great challenge for me so far.

Shawn Barber

Shawn Barber is an artist that I discovered recently. His work primarily focuses on painting, portraiture, and the tattoo culture. Most of his work is created by using other tattoo artists that he knows personally or friends that have tattoos as well. I think that Shawn combines portrait painting and tattoos very well and his work gives me I inspiration for my own work. The process isn't easy but it's a challenge that I'm willing to take on.

Self-portrait

I am currently working on this painting for a Portraits and Tattoos series. Actually faces may be included in some on my works, but the main focus is that of the tattoos, which will be the portrait itself. This painting in particular is still in progress.
