IRON MAN on the Rocks

Acrylic on Canvas / 2012

January is full of heroism and villainy here at DREGstudios as we prepare for My Hero | My Villain curated by Joe Melanson at No Egrets Tattoo ONE NIGHT ONLY on Saturday, January 28th!

I've spent the past few Sundays teaming up with Amateur Supervillain Charles "Wolfie" Bennett at his lair of acrylic and gouache solitude to paint new material for this unique exhibit.  I am doing four acrylic paintings on canvas which will be the basis of a collaborative multi-media display you can ONLY EXPERIENCE IN PERSON!

On New Year's Day, I showed you the first painting- HULK SMASH! and I've kept a tight seal on my Spiderman which I painted the Sunday after.  Alas, I do have new treats today though with some process pictures from my Iron Man painting.  I decided to go with the old school original armor suit Tony Stark donned long before he became the drunk we love and adore today in reds and golds.  I teamed this Golden Age relic up with his modern habit of the drink though.  What do you figure a billionaire superhero sips on?

To see the final products, I hope you make it out to the exhibit next weekend!  For now, check out these process pictures from my painting session at The Wolfman's...

Live Painting with Chad Spann

I hung out and got some painting out of my system last night at Spann Manor.  I've been having the itch with our Southern Pop Surrealism sessions lately and figured I'd get some practice in for our next one this coming Sunday.  Chad and I have painted together more and more frequently over the years.  Here's what we tuned in to create last night....

Our buddy Nathan dropped by to hang out during the process and it was his birthday so the painting immediately found a fitting home- happy birthday Nate!

Chad Spann can make a stencil out of ANYthing!

Chad got straight to mixing in his High Life- he's gotta pour one for his homies on every painting.
