The Parting of Ways
Four of my paintings (The Angelic Destruction series and Elemental Sins: Ira) just arrived in California, now owned by a talented musician who founded a famous rock band.

Those paintings were done from a very cathartic time in my life and meant a lot to me. I suppose though, that it'll be more comforting knowing that he will take care of them as a supportive friend.

He also now owns the portrait I did of him and had framed.. I'm very happy with the framing work that Nancy from Da Vinci Artist Supply did (I highly recommend her), and wanted to share it.



She suggested the frame, which was reminiscent of studded leather that's so prominent in rock/goth culture.. The black on it was also distressed to show hints of red underneath that picked up the red in the portrait. I found it very fitting.

That's what he said. :) Well he E-mailed me and said he wanted the originals of those pieces because he purchased prints of them before and wanted to have the real thing.

Yeah, he's usually so friendly and all smiles!
