Thurman Munson Portrait
Despite hating the Yankees, I really like the way this Thurman Munson commission turned out. It's acrylic on canvas, 9 x 12".

My goodness my Guinness
Here's a recent commissioned piece and soon-to-be Christmas present. It's 14" x 18", acrylic on canvas. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. The dog's face kills me every time. I mean, look at 'im. He jus' a widdle guy!
If the stork and text looks familiar, that's because this painting is a play off an old Guinness beer poster. Credit for the idea goes to my customer - brilliant!

Seghesio Zinfandel still life
Here's a recent commissioned piece. 18" x 24", acrlyic on canvas. A still life like this makes a great (ahem. AHEM.) Christmas present.
If you want to see the image full-size instead of within the constraints of Blogger's new "light box" feature, open the image in a new window or tab.

The Mission Art Walk is TONIGHT!
Local artists, live music, good food and good times at the Mission Art Walk tonight from 6 to 10. I'll be at my booth selling paintings all evening, so come on down and say "hey."
This piece and plenty other Drew Stearns originals will be on sale for $15. That's a slick deal if you ask me.

10/18/11 Update:
The Art Walk came and went and a good time was had by all. I made six sales during the evening! Were they all to friends or family? Yes, but that still counts!

More Mission Art Walk paintings
On October 14, I'll be exhibiting at the Mission Art Walk in downtown Mission, Kansas. It's like a mini art fair for area residents. You can find it on Woodson Road between Johnson Drive and Martway Street.
The images below are some paintings I'm selling at the show. Everything will be pretty inexpensive, so it's a good opportunity for collectors to score some cheap Drew Stearns originals.

Tribute to Ben Richards
The Running Man is one of the all-time great science fiction movies. Mainly because it has Arnold running around in a sweet Adidas shoulder-padded jumpsuit, finding creative ways to kill people and survive the ultimate manhunt.
Here's how I went about creating my painted portrait of Arnold's character, Ben Richards:

Neo-Pop Art portraits of fashion models
Here are some paintings I've done over the past couple weeks. I was experimenting with layered application of color using acrylic glazing medium. Their hue and luminance shift subtly depending on the type of light you display them in. Pretty cool, I say:

Impromptu painting
Sometimes, I go on an art binge and vomit something out that I had no intention of creating. Last night was one of those times. All of this took place within two hours.
Here's the reference material. I'm trying to find the image's original source so I can give credit where it's due...
Here's the warm up pen sketch:
The pencil sketch on a 2x2' gessoed board of birch plywood:
The final product about an hour later:
I don't usually lay paint down this thick. I was kind of in a frenzy while creating this:
Towards the end, I ditched my palette knife; can you can see the grooves left by my fingerprints?
