Sunset with Stars (Work in Progress)


This is another sunset piece that may or may not turn into trees.
Its another 18X24" spray paint on canvas.
There may be more added to it as far as materials but I will keep you updated

Skull Tree


This is another tree.
I made it all black and white because its kinda gloomy.
The tree is made to look like a skull. 
There are just higher concentrations of branches in the nasal and orbitals.
As well as branches that make the teeth and give the jaw shape.
This is 18X24" Spray paint and paint marker on canvas.

Lion King Trees


This is the old "Sunset" post.
I stenciled in some trees and landscape.
Its 40X16" all spray paint on canvas.
I have been working on a lot of trees lately and will be posting soon!

Sunset (Work in Progress)


This is simply the background. I have recieved very good response from my tree stencil and another one is in the works!

Haddie Pointillism




Above is a picture of my niece Haddie playing with sparklers on the Fourth of July with the actual picture right below it. Its a gift for her parents on her first birthday that I really hope they like. Its another pointillism piece made up of 18,000 red, yellow, blue, black and white dots on a 14" x 11" canvas. Below is a close up view to show the dots in a closer view.



Batman / Bruce Wayne Stencil


This is a new Batman / Bruce Wayne piece that I did. I was inspired by the new batman movie (which is amazing). It is a grayscale stencil, outlined with gold paint. It is made up of two 1' x 2' canvases.

UPDATE



Today I will be uploading a couple new photos. It has been a busy couple of weeks.

Business Card


This is my business card...
Plain and simple.
I want feedback, good and bad.
If you see something you like; tell me, make me an offer, tell your friends.
Also contact me if there is something you'd like to see.
Tell me if there is something you'd like to buy!
These make great gifts, or decorations for any space.

Thank you,
                        Nick

Kanye West Pointillism


This is my favorite... (Hence the reason I put big pictures...)
This picture is another in the line of Kanye paintings that I have done.
This is another pointillism piece.
It uses 34.000 dots to make an image.
The remarkable thing is that these dots are ONLY red, blue, yellow, black or white.
 The larger picture does not illustrate that very well as your eyes trick you into seeing the darker browns in Mr. West's skin tone. But they are in reality just a perfect combination of black, red and yellow. Whish is easier to see in the second picture.
I truly have never seen anything like this online so I had no idea what to say when I was asked how much to sell it for.
This is 48x36", acrylic paint marker on canvas.

Angelina Jolie Pointillism

This is my first experiment with pointillism.
Its Angelina Jolie.
I wanted to do something small on printer paper before I invested a large amount of money on a bigger canvas to use for a pointillism piece.
So what I'm trying to say is this is basically practice, but I still like it.
This is 8.5x11", sharpies on printer paper.

Sunset Tree Stencil

This one is very interesting...
I painted the entire thing black, covered all of it in tape, drew a large tree on the tape and cut it out. Then I left the tape on for the tree, free handed the sunset and moon, airbrushed the clouds on using 10 stencils, and then peeled the tape off.
To be honest i didn't like how it came out and I left it in Maine. When I showed a local artist (who I will talk about in a minute) my work, he said to get this shipped down ASAP and I could set up a display revolving around that in his store in the Mall of GA.
This is 30x40", spray paint and airbrush on canvas.




Storm Trooper Stencil



This is the biggest of my stencils that I have made.
It has 8 different layers.
And at 36x48" they all had to be lined up perfectly.
This is a storm trooper from "Star Wars", with the iconic LV background.
This is 36x48", spray paint on canvas.




Nike Air Max Stencil

This is a little different than what I usually do.
Its a Nike Air Max.
I hand drew the background image and cut it out. 
But I also used a glossy paint which looks a little different in the end.
This is 8x10" (I believe), spray paint on canvas.




Marco Materazzi Stencil

99% of you wont recognize Marco Materazzi.
He is my favorite player I have ever seen play, both on TV and in person.
This is 14x11", spray paint on canvas.






Allen Iverson Stencil

The great Allen Iverson.
Playing on his famous "Practice" interview.
This is 14x11", spray paint on canvas.




Jay-Z Stencil

This is the great Jay-Z.
I have always listened to his music and always will.
Its 14x11" spray paint on canvas.


Atlanta Stencil

This is a picture of the Atlanta skyline that I did in 2007.
Little did I know that in 2012 I would move to Atlanta....
Its 14x11" spray paint on canvas.



NYC Stencil

Fairly self explanitory.
Its 14x11" spray paint on canvas.


Kanye West Stencil

This is the first in a bunch of Kanye paintings that I would do.
I did this outside in the snow and the cold weather didn't allow the paint to dry correctly, hence the spotting in the background.
Its 14x11" spray paint on canvas.


Fire Airbrush

This was an experiment.
I bought an airbrush and wanted to learn how to use it.
The lightning and the fire were alright but the rest is a little iffy.
Its 14x11" spray paint and airbrush on canvas.



Water Droplet Effect Spray Paint

This is fairly hard to see the detail up close.
But it has the texture of water droplets.
Its 14x11" spray paint on canvas.

Chester Bennington Stencil

This is a random one.
I like Linkin Park and the flame tattoos on Chester's (the guy that does all the screaming) arm.
I wanted to emphasize them by making them the only thing in color so here it is.
14x11" spray paint on canvas.

Space Spray Paint

When I visited NYC several years ago, I got a painting on the street.
I used the techniques I saw him use and created a freehand space scene.
This as well is 14x11" spray paint on canvas.



Woman in Jeans Stencil

This is another early piece.
Its the back of a girl.
I found the picture randomly online.
Its 11x14" spray paint on canvas.

Woman Silhouette in Blinds Stencil

This is one of my favorite pieces on my walls.
It takes a minute to figure out what you're looking at.
This is a girl's silhouette next to a set of blinds.
This is 14x11". Spray paint on canvas.

Nike Dunk Stencil


This would be the first stencil on actual canvas that I ever did.
Had no idea what it would turn out like, and didn't care to be honest but it has been on my walls since,
Its obviously a Nike Dunk sneaker done in spray paint on canvas.

Hello!

This is my first post on here and I am looking forward to posting examples of my work on here. I look forward to hearing feedback from you all!
