John Mayer - Heavier Things artwork!

Here is another painting I created based off of one of my favorite artists, John Mayer. I based this painting off of the Heavier Things album. Like the Eminem painting I created, this is on a 16x20 canvas board and I used acrylic paint. Really new to the stencil affect, but look for new artwork coming soon! Trial and error here! I liked the way this turned out though. All input is appreciated! Song is "Neon" off of the Inside Wants Out [EP]! I liked the lyrics on the side too, they are some of my favorite and I feel like it makes the painting even more original and personable. Looking for something new to paint/draw so hit me up with suggestions!


Above is the video to go with the painting!

Eminem Painting

I saw some of the work that Brittney Palmer (former WEC and now current UFC ring girl) posts on her website via Twitter and I was really interested in trying to do something similar. She has done black and white paintings of Hendrix, Marley, and James Dean and I thought they looked pretty sick and not too terribly complicated. (Her Hendrix painting left)

Naturally I went online to see if there were any videos of people doing similar works and ran across the guy below, he has some pretty sick work check him out.






I wanted to create a piece based off of one of my favorite artists so I chose Eminem, I plan on doing a painting of Mike Tyson next. Featured below are some pictures of me in the process of creating the Eminem painting.

Finished!


 Take a look at the video to go along with the painting. The song is by AWOLNATION.
