Tiny Phone Painting #5: Tarhead

One good eye is enough.

One good eye is enough.

As is usually the case, this wee thing was started while waiting to feed on something or other, the way lions draw intricate images while waiting for a gazelle to run by. I like it a lot more than the Rocket Nub overall, but it has a distinct lack of rocketing and pretty much no nub at all, so I can see why other people would prefer seeing Rocket Nub before they die instead of this more cryptic horror out on the town on a beautiful, green night.

Tiny Phone Painting #4: Rocket Nub

Go, little Nub. Go.

Go, little Nub. Go.

This latest in my Brushes paintings isn’t my favorite, with the zombie still feeling like the most finished piece, but I am rather fond of the sense of rocketing and nubbing going on here.  The unbridled joy coupled with the somewhat dangerous looking nature of whatever is powering these little guys into the stratosphere.  It works on several levels that way, and might be the deepest painting ever created.

Facebook: Terminator Salvation was Right.

No discretion. No dignity. No pants.

Your average social networking site.

•SPOILER ALERT•

At maybe the lowest point in Terminator: Salvation, the guy who’s really an android, the guy who is part of the only real surprise in the movie that was ruined by the trailers that were much better than the actual movie, that guybot confronts Skynet itself and discovers it’s actually Helena Bonham Carter’s weird, glossy head on a futuristic screen.  You know it’s a futuristic screen because in the future all video cables are made of cobbled together garbage, thus ensuring that the video image looks terrible and sputters a whole lot.  Shoulda spent that extra ten thousand dollars for a 4ft hdmi Monster Cable at Best Buy, huh Skynet?  Huh?  Thought so.

New Tiny Phone Painting: Zombie.

Caaaaaake....I mean BRAAAAINSSSS.

Caaaaaake....I mean BRAAAAINSSSS.

My third go at using Brushes on the iPhone.  This time I thought I’d go for something more classical and take a crack at a good ol’ zombie.  I think I did a pretty good job implying that they’re walking over to eat the last living human and that the human’s name is Clancy.

Check out the video of the painting process down below.  Embedded, it’s at its proper size, but when you see it on the Vimeo site it’s maybe a thousand times too large.  Not sure why that’s happening.

Still getting used to painting with my finger. It’s like trying to paint with a marshmallow.
