Roller Derby!!!!

So when I was an art director at Blue Table Painting, there was a girl there that was in a roller league. She recruited me to be a referee....which was AWESOME. It was sad when I had to move...no more reffing for me. But anyways, I've got a lot of respect for those ladies.

Surprise Attack!

So this one I started earlier this year and finally had time to finish it. I originally called the big guy there a Grumph, named thusly because of the huffing sound they make when they're shuffling around. Story in an image is very important me. It guides my decisions and helps add authenticity to a painting. It also helps create a mood and can carry me through some of the more tedious moments when painting.

And here are a couple of closeups of some areas that I found interesting.

Enjoy!!
