Today I have added more detail to most, if not all of the fish on the canvas. I like to work much like a silk screen printer by starting with one color and applying it where it appears over the entire canvas. Then when most of the color are applied I go back over the fish with more detail. Eventually you will see that I will add more fish to the painting to fill in some spots that I feel are too vacant.

Also notice I haven’t posted a picture of the dolphin.  That is because I haven’t painted it yet. Getting a dolphin just right is a hard task and I will need to give it my full attention. If not, it will look like a shark, or worse, a dolphin who took a detour through Three Mile Island circa 1979. There is something about how sleek and solid they are. No only do I have to get a very well recognizable marine mammal into perfect proportion, but I also have to get their muscle definition in good balance with their hydrodynamics. And I can’t forget their eyes. If a dolphin doesn’t look sincere and friendly you can hang it up.

Keep-A-Breast

Keep-A-Breast has targeted a generation that may not understand the importance of breast cancer awareness and the impact the disease may have on their future. With the average age of affected women being around 40, Keep-A-Breast speaks to a decidedly younger crowd… Say, 18-30ish year olds.

Their method of attack includes the Vans Warped Tour, Roxy, and some rather hip and well designed self exam cards. Not only do they work with art shows and music festivals, but they also create plaster casts of torsos for artists to paint and donate to their cause.
