Phone Life Paint 5
Another one! I swear while I’m working on these I think “Wow Greg, droppin that Michelangelo on these homies.” Then as soon as I load up the painting on my computer I’m like “Wtf is this!! Needless to say I’m hardly ever pleased but here is the painting I did in front of the Starbucks I…

Phone Life Paints 4
A couple more for you guys. These two were painted at Bethesda Park and Five Forks Trickum Park.

There is something that…

Back on the Regular!
I feel like I’ve become painfully inconsistent with this blog…that’s gotta change. From now on I’m not going to let more than 2 days go by without a study sketch of some kind. I do them everyday but with my job teaching art to kids 7 to 11, doing some cool freelance and launching some…

A Few More Recent Scribbles
Here are a few of my recent warm ups and studies. I draw and paint from life a lot because I feel my ability to create from imagination is already pretty strong. In my case, it’s my mission to observe life to the fullest so that I can really do some awesome work from my…
