I might make prints of just the drawing later on. We'll see.
No one has noticed the subtle weed leaf going on in this yet. A little too subtle I guess. ]]> Posters http://mattdidit.com/blog/index.php?itemid=37 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 12:28:33 -0700 Tattooed Pelican http://mattdidit.com/blog/index.php?itemid=36 Pelican illustration was done by Cesar at Medusa

It makes me happy when people buy my work because they want to display it on their wall. It's another level of joy for me when someone chooses to place my art on their skin permanently.

Thanks Joey.]]> Art http://mattdidit.com/blog/index.php?itemid=36 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 08:49:39 -0700 Logan Chase Davis http://mattdidit.com/blog/index.php?itemid=35

I'm a proud new dad!]]> Life http://mattdidit.com/blog/index.php?itemid=35 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 05:24:36 -0700 Vader Project Auction http://mattdidit.com/blog/index.php?itemid=34 Freedman's. There were some really good interpretations in the group of 100 artists, some not so much. I'm glad I got a chance to see them all together for the last time. If I had extra 5 large hanging around it'd be cool to grab one of these but I don't.



More images after the jump.

I figured out it's been at least 10 years since I've painted anything. I tried using Dr. Matrins liquid watercolors on this one. Different then I'm used to. I forgot how unforgiving watercolors are! I only started to get the hang of it towards the end of the painting. ]]> Art http://mattdidit.com/blog/index.php?itemid=33 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 07:45:30 -0700 Red Roses For Me http://mattdidit.com/blog/index.php?itemid=32 Red Roses for Me - Mattdidit
"Red Roses for Me"
8" x 10"
2 color screenprint

New print added to the store. This piece was my submission to the "Mini" Print Exchange show at the Signed & Numbered gallery in Salt Like City.
This was the first time I used the stippling technique for inking a piece for silkscreening. Not all the subtle dots I made came through in the print which was a learning experience but overall I am satisfied with the print. For sale at an extremely reasonable price.
