Awiiight, so I'm always a little apprehensive about showing off my work cuz I'm my own worst critic but,
I feel like you guys are genuinely cool/good peoples so fuck it...
Most of my art is more traditional tho as I'm making the transition to digital albeit at a snails pace,
so I'll post new updates, mainly cuz my shits scattered all over my house...

pencil, pen and ink:
a woman focusing mainly on value

caricature of me

caricature of me and my sis (age 4 and 5)

A friend's daughter

Floyd Mayweather caricature

*added 1/1/09 Snoop Dogg caricature

*added 4/8/09 Cuba Gooding jr. for Lagwastan

some digital work:
my 1st photoshop coloring of a sketch

1st landscape done in Painter X

another landscape done in Painter X

Corel Painter is freakin awesome btw!!!

this one was actually an idea that I was working on for a T-shirt that sorta fell thru

I picked up an airbrush a couple of years ago, I just never really have the time.. but here are some projects I've done:
a woman's eye

another self portrait, I guess, practicing value.. u can never practice light/value enough!

a couple of 517 shirts for my nephew

My avatar, but obviously more visable...

all drawn in PS... something I just finished for my niece's BDay.... It's called "Da Beee"

when I first started learning about PS I created this manip ( the orig pic was taken when I was 19.. erm back in 199...

)

the last photomanip contest I entered

this was my Christmas card for a contest here last year Dec 08.. aahh good times!

pencil and colored pencil sketchings-
clavicle, spine, thorax and pelvis..

figures, bone and muscle structure..

recent oil paintings done Oct 09 - Dec 09

some oriental watercolor pieces..

bamboo on rice paper

these two are some scenes done on rice paper, but glued first on canvas with water and flour

just a skateboard design i came up with, its called 'Grimace'

more airbrush work Jan and Feb 2010

more oil paintings done Jan 2010 - Mar 2010

Hope u like, or not... Feel free to comment or criticize.. Either way it's cool!

peace out, Ink

Wah your sketches amazing!! The caricatures are impressive, and that first sketch is beautiful. Those T-shirts are very cool too, and I really like the airbrush eye. The digitally done stuff is good too, but not as goos as you're hand drawn stuff. Practice working with those programs is really all the difference it takes

.
Really great stuff, look forward to seeing more

I knew there was a reason I didn't like you Ink, and this is it! You have crazy talent!
(Ok lies...I don't hate you. But you still have crazy talent!)
Keep it coming man, love to see more.

Yuiop · « **Reply #10 on:** December 30, 2008, 06:26:52 AM »

Nice work! love the caricatures; really impressive. Glad to see you make the move to making these public - congrats on being made Ninja Artist too!

Look forward to seeing more.

duggie · « **Reply #11 on:** December 30, 2008, 02:33:19 PM »

The shading in the self portrait really stood out for me. All good work though.

rocker · « **Reply #12 on:** December 30, 2008, 03:45:19 PM »

dude if i had a talent like yours i wouldn't worry about changin to digital. Great stuff

Lor Randir · « **Reply #13 on:** December 30, 2008, 03:56:29 PM »

Brilliant work and its all pretty varied too - you seem to be able to dabble in different mediums and studies which is very cool. An artist should never limit his style

JUBJUB · « **Reply #14 on:** December 30, 2008, 06:16:34 PM »

You finally posted your work up, the sun setting picture is very nice.

Hani · « **Reply #15 on:** December 30, 2008, 07:26:06 PM »

you're awesome.

kowalsky · « **Reply #16 on:** December 31, 2008, 02:09:35 AM »

it's all very good, but i love the floyd mayweather caricature

InkSmeardn76 · « **Reply #17 on:** December 31, 2008, 02:44:22 AM »

well, I'm gonna respond to everybody cuz I'm str8 up luvin all the positive feedback...

@ crazyfreespirit - yeah, I feel like I'm a little bit more controlled with traditional tools, I've been practicing with my stylus and PS and Painter so we'll see.

@ Chip - thnx, you the man! btw I smash Doritos daily and if it's cool, I wanna make a caricature out of one, if it's cool with you of course...
@ Phara - Our Queen B. what else can I say.. I luv u.. in a non-creepy intranet way!

@ Ranchhand - Keep an eye out for Snoop, gotta scan him in first!
@ RepairmanJack -

thnx for being honest! keep an eye out
@ Yuiop - who knew all it took was some balls

never knew dark was so lovely on me! -also, what's a "technosexual"?

@ duggie - Thnx for the luv
@ rocker - preciate it, its a growing transition..
@ Lor - that's exactly how I feel, sorta Jack of all trades within the Art world. It helps keep my attention tho, but the challenge is acing them!
@ JubJub - yeah, I was dragging my feet a little.. The sunset pic I had a feeling you would appreciate. Proud to say it was done without all the effects n thangs... just artist oils brushes and a blender stump..

@ Hani - Thnx, u 2
@ kowalsky - thnx, alot of folks seem to like that one.. I actually have a bunch of random caricatures I did when I took a Humorous Illustration class, but I gotta find em.. when I do I'll post some more!!

naranjaRa · « **Reply #22 on:** January 01, 2009, 02:55:40 AM »

INK there's your work! LOVE IT! you had me with the first study, then blew me away with your self-portrait and then made me fall off the chair with the one of you and your sis.

awesome! im so glad you shared! also i agree with Lor...dabble away and experiment with any medium you can get your hands on. it just gives you that much more a complete arsenal to work with.

love love love the texture/hatching in your drawings. def. takes skill to render in that technique.
:h:

honeymurphy · « **Reply #23 on:** January 01, 2009, 10:54:43 AM »
