PaperMarbles Project

My photo
I am Maynerd... apparently the artist formerly known as PaperMarbleS... The reason this whole blog started up so long ago was for the PaperMarbleS project, which I never really motivated enough to actually make it come to light... Well, It's back. The First edition of the PMSProject should be ready to roll in late 2011, and there are some sweet ideas rolling for it. The content of the actual blog may shift a bit, as I won't be showing so much of the process of the art, but more of what it is that influences the end results... Also Show recaps and other random tidbits of Awesome... Heads up Stand up.

Niko Las Lazlo

Went and slayed some dragons today with the Savage all while getting totally extreme...  Decided that it was time that I brought my favorite homeboy along... had a little sesh in the snow... dude was SO stoked - although right now he's lazier than Dave McCaul after a McD's dollar menu session...

paint by numbers...

Since i need to buy some new epoxy, i started another painting... bigger again... this is just a rough guess and layout of what it will become.  Looks like shit right now, but it's all part of the process - i never look good in the morning either, and my breath stinks...

turtle power paint...

I Finally started a new painting last week... it's bigger than in normally work on, so it should be pretty fun...
Blank board...

White Gesso, clouds are left the natural wood grain...

Water Color applied to clouds, and then sanded smooth and to get even coloring throughout the different areas...

Dark Blue Acrylic base was laid around the clouds, then the other fill in areas begin... this is about half way through or so...

Background is finished... next step is to epoxy a layer and then the foreground...

Vegas Madness

For all of those who were unable to attend SIA, check out TJ Schneider's Realm's episode...

el ocho

Many of you may and should be familiar with Burger King (known to a special few as the 'BK Lounge' for it's appealing atmosphere...). Many have dabbled, many choose it as their favorite lunch spot nook; but few push it's limits. This my friend is what the freak of nature we like to call Mat Savage choses to do, whether he likes it or not. Thinking outside the box he wasn't quite satisfied with the choices of 2, 3, or even 4 patties on his beloved BK Stacker. Old Savage decided he wanted 8 patties; what we like to call 'The OCHO.' Intimidating? Yes. Delicious? Yes. An instant Gut bomb from Hell? Yes.

After over a year of talk, planning, and specific training, the OCHO was attempting and fell by the hands and mouth of the Savage beast.

The initial sight of the OCHO which could be spotted from across the room - 8 patties of flame broiled meaty goodness... 

Without hesitation the beast dives in - I no longer question his relation to Macho Man Randy himself.  The pure power that was observed upon each and every bight was uncanny.

If you really take in the beauty of this picture,  you may agree with me when i say that I think at least 6 cows were slaughtered in order to make this single 8 patty delight.
The final bight, and you can see the exhaustion in his eyes - but knowing that he is assuring his place in history he continues on.
Though it is said that the Savage will never attempt this daring feat again, the sparkle in his eyes tells me that frequent runs through the drive thru (then directly to his porcelain office)  are going to be made in secret, for he is a timid and humble giant who now truly knows the meaning of life and all of it's glory...
Delicious.
