I've been getting into canvas painting again lately. Mostly using acrylic paints and brushes, as well as stencils/spray paint on previous stuff and painters markers. I love these expensive ass markers, I wish I could have infinite supply of them, especially since some colors are harder to find.

Some of these are brand new work, some is older and/or unfinished:
(A lot of times I find some old crappy artwork in the garage or whatever and go over it)

Seems to look a lot like graffiti except on a canvas. I don't know if your medium quite suits your artistic style.

If you do, the best shit to make them out of is like old beer 30 pack boxes or similar thin cardboard packaging stuff. Some shoeboxes work well too

It is a little odd to see graffiti on a canvas as opposed to a brick wall, but I think the art is really cool. I also like all of the variety in this set of paintings. You definitely have an artistic mind ^^

You're dead right about that. When I was a retarded kid I wanted to make one of those shopping bag stencils so you could discretely spray while pretending to bend down to look at your purchases. I bought these wal mart made to be stencil sheets and they were complete crap. I gave up and cut it out from a 24 pack of coke and have used beer/coke boxes since.


Damn dude how DID you forget the lurker it's fucking LEGIT. It went from yeah thats cool stuff I appreciate that and thanks for sharing to fucking badass in a second.
Edit: If you didn't do that lurker with chalk I am crazy and you are very impressive.

It's painter's markers. Just greyish blue color and brown (and then green/yellow & teal for the saliva). Spray-painted black beforehand. I actually brought this to blizzcon a couple years ago.

Ah okay I can see that I was thrown off by your shading. That's great shit man. I would take that over a fancy fuck teak coffee table in a heart beat, it looks great.

2nd favorite is definitely the Los Muertes mask.

What do you mean how I create them? Details like this:
Skull painting from top of OP.
Long time ago I had sketched a smaller version on paper and colored it with painters markers.
I always thought it looked really good, especially the blood surrounding (but I could not replicate it due to space etc on the canvas).
I found a bunch of brand new unopened canvas in the garage while I was cleaning it out to make room for my new bench press (which was the best deal I've ever got in my life btw).
So I took these giant felt markers (for kids I assume) and began to use the red, orange and yellow to sort of fade them together in a square pattern.
Next I took a pencil and sketched out the skull design from my paper.
Then I muddled over what colors to use from the acrylic paints my mother has in a box. (theres maybe 20-30 colors in there).
And did the same with my painters pens (I have around 40 or so).
Used a paint brush to grey up everything. Making extra efforts to layer on the grey on the horns and places where the shading/lighting needed to be. Let it dry maybe 5-10 minutes so it still damp.
Then I took a cream/tan color and mixed it with some grey and started to apply the lighting.
I started to pull the paint out of the canvas and layer the cream color into the grey, you can see it in some parts where its like 4 shades fading or so.
After that I just let it dry up for a day.
Next day I got some brick red and some maroon color and mixed them together for the blood on the outside.
I really dislike the control/accuracy I get from a paintbrush so it didn't turn out how I envisioned. So I started to drop droplets of the red color all over and then splashing it around to create more action like I wanted.
We didn't have any black, so I took grey, blue, and brown to make the dark areas.
I was originally going to outline everything with a black painters pen, but I'm not so sure it would look as good. I kind of like it without the hard edges, what do you think?
