I was exploring the idea of LA Noir with this painting. It is much smoother, more blended and less sloppy that my usual garbage. The painting missed the mark a bit, I think, but thanks to that I might attempt exploring the subject again.
I recently found these pictures online that looked like they were taken by a digital camera gone bad. Only part of the picture was realistic, the rest was a rainbow of digital chaos. I knew trying to paint that would be difficult, due to the differing nature between pictures and paintings but since it will be club kids that look at the paintings I figured why not see where the road takes me. I'm not sure what I think of the finished piece, I think hearing others oppinion of it might help.
This painting was derived from a photograph I saw on Church of Choppers. The picture aroused such a timeless West Coast flavor that I had to paint my interpretation of it. The face was omitted because I wasn't trying to capture a person but an attitude.
