The Wonderful Jacqui Oakley

So i have been inspired yet again by Jacqui Oakley. To be truthful never really stopped being inspired by her work. I stumbled upon her work back while i was in college and flipping through a issue of Rolling Stone.


I most recently found a piece i fell in love with on the dieline. Of course it was one of Jacqui's. It was album art for the Two Crown King. You can check out her process over on her site. As usual her textured underpainting is simply marvelous.





I'm gonna have to break out the paints and experiment on how to get some textures in my own work. I am very interested in how she inks over her paintings. Thought this was wonderful and needed to be shared.

Hope you enjoy checking out her work.

Good Things Do Happen To Good People

Many of you already know about The Avett Brothers. If you don't, you owe it to yourself to sheck them out.

You have to love it when the good guys that have been putting in time, blood, sweat and tears...then watch the effort pay off. The Avett Brothers have been playing tunes for ten years or so. Before that, Nemo the Back Porch Project could be heard in the halls of the ECU art building, Chico's and the surrounding streets.

Their new video that NPR showcases on All Things Considered, Showcases yet another ECU Painting Major Jason Ryan Mitcham. Probably one of the nicest fellows you'll ever met as well as a killer painter. It makes me happy when people succeed in the endeavors of their passion.


Check it out and enjoy the tunes and the thoughts behind the song and video.
