Video: Sylvia Ji Painting Process

Check out this montage video of the painting process of Sylvia Ji. I came across her work through a friend and while looking for inspiration I cam across this video, which I thought you would be great to share. I know I've shown the digital process from previous artists, but here's a traditional art process that I know you will appreciate.

Here is what I worked on during the Day 15 & 16 on my art goal.

Day 16- Woman Skull....This one is a work in progress. I still have some more work to do, before it is fully complete.

Branded Baron's Sugar Skull Shirt

If you recall, I was working an illustration for a sugar skull theme.(Click here to view) Here is the final product that has been printed by Branded Baron. The black on white is a classic colorway that makes the art stand out. The Latin phrase that is above the head is, "Respice post te, mortalem te esse memento" translates to "Look around you, remember that you are mortal." I was inspired by the Day of the Dead and all sugar skull art, so I decided to work on my own design. It is great to see this t-shirt printed.

Work In Progress-Sugar Skull Woman

If you saw my twitter feed on Tuesday, you would know that I'm concentrating on a sugar skull influenced design. Sugar skulls are very intricate detailed pieces of art and has gain a lot of popularity through tattoos. It comes from the Mexican holiday the "Day of the Dead." It's always interesting to see how the sugar skull style is implemented on a pretty woman. I decided that I would like to take a stab at it and I personally feel so far so good. There is plenty of work to do be done, but here is the progress so far.
