Theyreeeeee baaack. Don't let a couple of roads fool you, I still like to paint women!! Yeah, I know what the large percentage of my fanbase is thinking... 'No biuoobs??' (thats how my fans pronounce boobs, in my head). Well no, sorry but its not always about boobs. Ok? Grow up guys. There are other... things. Than boobs. Sheesh. Anyway, this time around I was commissioned by a buddy of mine from high school. An old art class chum. He asked me to do a painting for his gfs bday since they were both fans of my style. See girls, there are guys out there that know how to get the perfect gift. Ecol-art.com. Helpin couples get it on since 2005. Awwwww yeah.

ecol-art, the leading name in.. ENCORE PAINTINGS!?!?!

I guess so! Here's what happened, when they were hanging the original pieces, they temporarily placed one directly across from their glass door. Then left for whatever reason and when returning they could see the painting from all the way down the hall (the door was glass, remember?) and they were like 'wow, those colors really draw you in!' (or something like that I'm assuming). So then after the pieces were hung in the correct places they decided 'Man it's too bad we don't have a piece to go across from our door'. Then I like to imagine that they looked at each other in slow motion to really capture the changing of facial expressions as they become overwhelmed in excitement as they realize they will infact order one from me for that spot. They decided they wanted something simple, the focus more on color, just to lead the eyes to their office. Here what I came up with

ecol-art, the leading name in.. CORPORATE DECOR!?!?! PART 4!?!?!?!

Well it seems like this ol' 'road' has come to an end. Here is part 4 of the 4 part series for HighRoad Capital Partners. All 4 are hanging in their offices and getting compliments on a daily basis( I assume, but haven't heard of any yet). I plan on getting some pics of them in location and when I do I will BLOG IT! Until then I leave you with the famous quote...
"The road to visual nirvana is often paved by... ecols oils" I forget who said it.

ecol-art, the leading name in.. CORPORATE DECOR!?!?! PART 3!?!?!?!

Here is number 3 of 4. For the record painting trees is not fun. This one was probably the hardest/most stressful for me.

ecol-art, the leading name in.. CORPORATE DECOR!?!?! PART 2!?!?!?!

So this is painting #2 of 4. If you remember from the previous post, I am doing 4 paintings for the offices of High Road Capital Partners. Hence the roads. And the corporate decor title. And the lack of boobs. Jk. I'm over boobs. Although don't quote me on that...

ecol-art, the leading name in.. CORPORATE DECOR!?!?!

I guess so! I was commissioned to do 4 paintings in the offices of High Road Capital Partners. This is the first one, and its going in the reception room. They provided me with 4 photos of roads and I am basically painting artsy versions of them.

ecol-art, the leading name in designer... SAFETY??

So now you can keep no good burglars out with an impenetrable guard thats cute!! No longer do you have to go for the 'jail cell' look. (All guards were made out of iron.)

Old illustration for an ad/ the 1st ever ECOL ART TAT!!

Yeah, pretty crazy. This is definitely among the highest honors I believe I could ever achieve as an artist.. to have something you did permanently engraved on your body. It started off as an illustration for an advertisement I did for Pollen Records... and it became a symbol for alot of things to my buddy Josh. I was really flattered when he told me he was getting tattooed and it looks awesome in person. This is a first but hopefully not a last. Anyone else want an ecol tat??? Hit me up and maybe I can make something for you!

What U workin wit

Sooo I know what you're wondering.. WHAT THE HELL IS ECOL DOING?? Well I'm working on a few things. I've been busy with life but I'm trying to get some new stuff done. I've started a new painting. A portrait to be exact. Except this time, it's not a writer. That's all I'm going to say for now because it's a gift and I don't want to spoil anything. SOARRY! Also soon I should have some pics of this crazy giant window guard I made out of iron. It's a 7' by 7' square that has a giant stylized tree in it. Came out really cool. So check back soon and I'll get pics as soon as I can. :)

Crestfallen King PAINTING

So I did this painting as a submission to a gallery show with the theme 'King and Queen'. Pretty much the only reason why I chose that subject matter. Although oddly enough it seems to fit right in with my style. Maybe in a former life I was a portrait artist for the royal family.. or even better maybe I was a KING! Man, why can't I be a king NOW. Anyway, this is the first painting I did since september so I'm glad the gallery had an open call and I was able to break the break and get some new shit done. Hope you like it!

Saltbreakerssssss

So here is an animation I did for a Laura Veirs music video contest back in like august. I was lucky enough to be one of the 4 winners! This was my first attempt at animation and it was a shit ton of work but totally worth it. Hope you all like it!
