Elvis

I've painted a lot of celebs for these dvd covers, but never Elvis. Well, that changed today. This is the first in a series.

DVD Back

The Sand Pebbles

Starring Steve McQueen

Jayne Mansfield CD Box - Back

MGC GTS, Sebring 1968

67 Revenge

The BMC team of Mini Coopers won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964 and 1965. In 1966, they took 1st, 2nd and 3rd - only to be wrongly disqualified by the French judges. Sweet revenge took place in 1967, when the Coopers won again.

Spridgets

Jeeves

My Little Helpers

My little helpers. I found another Bugeye project - got it dirt cheap. Back end is in great shape, which is what my other one needs. This one was hit in the front. My boys are enjoying taking this one apart - It will take a bit longer, with their help, but it will be worth it. Mommy thought it was cute and ran and got the camera - I told her that there is nothing cute in this garage :)



psst - my boys are pretty cute when they help - I must admit.

Orange Peel

Lotus Elise

Tyrone Powers

Shirley Maclaine

I've never been a big fan (indifferent mostly) of Shirley Maclaine's, though I didn't realize how pretty she was until I got the chance to paint her for the DVD cover Can Can. That fact still doesn't make me a fan.

Steve McQueen

It's fun getting to work on DVD covers from movies you loved as a kid. I got to repaint Steve McQueen for The Great Escape. Now if only I could do the movie Bullet.

Beach House

Another Oil

This one needed to be a much tighter painting. The original photo that the studio gave me had him pointing the gun at the viewer. They wanted the painting posed differently.

Another Landscape

Landscapes

Some landscapes in oils - Newport backbay

68 Monte Carlo

Porsche's first win in the Monte Carlo Rally came in 1968. The Porsche 911T was driven by Vic Elford.

I may get to do a series in this style if the studio likes this looser look.

Some Like It Hot

This is the finished version of the repaint.

Run Silent Run Deep DVD

Run Silent Run Deep(1958) stars Burt Lancaster & Clark Gable. I got to do the repaint for this in a looser style.

Merry Christmas from the Sideache family

Another DVD Cover repaint. I was able to go much looser with this one.

"71 Monte"

Renault Alpine 1600s

"Alone Time"

Jaguar E-Type

Another Marilyn Cover

Just finished another Marilyn Cover. I'm given a B & W photo to repaint into color. Then the great folks at Menagerie Creative put it back into their design for the studios.

Big Mouth

Austin Healey 100-4. I love the big mouthed grill on these bad boys.

Back to Oils

I will soon be represented by an agent for my oil paintings. I will give you more info in the next few weeks. I have to have 62 oils by February 1st. I painted this one today in order to get back in the swing of things. This won't be one of the paintings since I didn't take this reference photo. Most of the paintings that will be for sale will be ones painted on location.

First Date
