Thats all i see in my bank account…Subtraction. just like everyone else. YAY!
i have been playing with a free painting program that tries to be oil paint. Artrage. pretty fun but it doesnt smell as good.
and i’m obsessing about norway
Finished a series of decks for Burial. theyre a really cool startup out of san pedro. the decks are inspired by 50’s and 60’s horror comics like Tales From the Crypt. Check out the Burial myspace and buy some decks from them. I’ll update again when these become available. keep skateboarding grassroots!
I’ll get some more up in a little while. I am working on a project right now, so as soon as i’m done I’ll put the rest of these up.
Vincent Price being his creepily amazing self. one of my favorite actors of all time. i especially loved his work in the Tilex commercials in the 80’s.
also updated my site… www.itsbillmain.com
I’m doing a mural for a really great family. The young boy has super heroes all over his room. I would have cut off my toes for this room when I was his age. Superman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Flash, Hulk, The Thing, Human Torch. I still have to go back and take final photos. These are all work in progress shots.
i’m right at the end of preparing a little zine-y type book that i’m going to use for bill main propaganda.
I may post more, but its a little redundant since all the images are on my site anyway. but here are a few:
christina bought me a new sketchbook. its got really heavy paper inside so it can hold water without crinkling too much. oh boy! i got to sit around and paint a little
bit for myself. i miss just going home and painting now that there aren’t any big deadlines coming up. hopefully i can keep up a few drawings a day.
I got a job assisting a family friend who owns her own custom mural business. Its pretty fun. I just get to practice painting all day. Right now, we are just finishing three huge Star Wars paintings for a five year old kid’s bedroom. She had painted the backgrounds and one of the characters but got swamped with other work so i stepped in to finish them up.
The first one is going over his bed. I am going to add some more guys to it in the morning and make the dust trails off the bikes look cooler. thats a technical term…cooler.
The second one is going to have glow in the dark paint on the light saber so he gets freaked out and has nightmares. It’ll be great.
The final painting is good old R2D2 and C3P0. Notice 3P0’s gentle caress of his robotic lovah.
here are the paintings after they were finished…
went by the awesome san pedro skate park not too long ago. chris haslam came by and drew a big wiener on one of the kid’s car windows.
