Artwork Update

Various Sizes – Acrylic/Oil Based Paints, Mixed-Media

@sallee_creates Update on X

Artwork – Mixed Media, Sketches and Artwork

It’s been awhile, let’s see what is going on, see our latest Artwork Updates on X.

I have to admit it’s been months since I shared any artwork or mixed-media projects, or provided any insight into my creative process. While I’ve shared a few marketing ads here and there, I haven’t shared anything on this scale in a while. I thought it might be interesting to share my before sketches, unfinished work and even pieces that didn’t quite make the cut. So, here’s the idea.

20 Minutes A Day

I dedicate 20 minutes a day to my sketching, painting, mixed-media, and artwork preparation activities for new, in progress or pre-work. Most of my work is done in a few 5.5″ x 8.5″ sketchpads, which I will eventually transfer to canvas board, wood, or another medium. I’m not yet sure how I want to share these pieces moving forward; X, web or the combination of the two. This won’t be a comprehensive listing, but rather a good representation of the sketches and paintings I’m currently working on. Ultimately, I would like to showcase all of my work in some way, but for now, here’s a quick look at my artwork updates.

Next, you can have look over my other pieces, completed artwork, studies and mixed-media projects. In closing, this is just a continuation, more of a beginning on the site. I will continue to keep you all updated on my whereabouts, what I’m working on in terms of art/artwork, as well as things happening in and around the office here or what’s on the bench.

Currently, I am focusing some energy on around 40 smaller pieces. My goal is to continue sketching for at least 20 minutes per day. I am also planning to include more pieces featuring human anatomy, various animals, boats and aircraft. For those computer people from the internet, check out the ASCII Art post… very cool.

Finally, stay tuned. In the meantime, feel free to follow my work online @sallee_creates on X.com. Take a look, and follow me if you’d like. Cheers!

Sun Study

Light

Rise and Set, Sun Study

Artwork – Sun Study Series

Raise and shine! Or Another sun set, sun cascading over the rolling water, salt, and sand. Let’s start, there are a number pieces to this study, more paintings to the Sun Study, mix media pieces etc., currently unearthing those from storage. Here we have a series of light; sun/sun sets etc.

Light. These pieces focus on the light (oppose to dark) from a certain light source, the sun and how it falls on objects, land, or water. For now, the following sunset works will serve as a storage/archive for the series. Created in various sizes, using acrylics and different mediums, we delve into the exploration of the sun.

More Light

Later In The Evening

On The Island

Now let’s focus on more content, additional content/art will be added later, so please check back at some point. I’m a fan of the light and colors created at dusk and dawn; just before and after the best light for photographs.

Lastly, take a look at my latest sketches, more sketches that further define the sun study and artwork on X and progression of photos. You can also explore our pieces and artwork in the artwork category.

Aircraft Study

More Aircraft, Single Engine Aircraft Study

Action At The Airfield

Artwork – Single Engine Aircraft, Acrylics

Love planes, aircraft of all shapes and sizes.

First, I have more sketches coming, one I’m working on now a Japanese Zero – A Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter designed by Horikoshi Jiro raising to the highest levels of infamy, wreaking havoc in the Pacific Theater during World War 2. One of a few I remember studying a bit closer back in the day. The Zero, the Mustang, Warhawk and Messerschmitt Bf 109. Many, or most of them are in pencil or have been elevated to pen and brush pen form.

Next, I am currently sketching up a few new ideas, including a large hauler. The largest helicopter in the fleet, the Chinook and an F/A-18 Super Hornet flown by the US Navy Blue Angels. Someday, I will get around to painting these aircraft, but for now, I only have the sketch version. Please check out the two examples on X, via @salleetech.

Tree Study

A Season Of Change

Tree Study

Artwork – Tree Study Series

Changing seasons, progression of time. A Tree study.

We watch as branches sway back and forth in the breeze, a snowy winter is coming . Snow covers their barren branches, with no leaves for what seems like months. Out of the window, we see the sun, and we follow this specimen through time a passage of time, as seasons change.

Watch as the seasons change, growth after a tremendously long winter pause, makes for a nice tree study – a full progression (6 part series) of this particular area outside the house. Actually, this tree sits just outside the window, within arms reach. There were times, if a storm whipped up enough of a gust, the branches would scrap and the window. No damage just bone chilling noise to encounter during a heightened time or situation during a winter storm. New life emerges in the spring, followed by a spring trim. In the warm glow of late day, branches stretch, and bounce, pushing out their bark and leaves for more sun light.

More coming soon, please check back later. Be sure to view my latest sketches and artwork on X @salleetech for progression photos. You can also explore other pieces and artwork in the artwork category.

Clockwork

Automaton Creations

Clockwork Series

Artwork – Clockwork

Let’s cover artworks titled “Clockwork”… Made famous in the book A Clockwork Orange by english novelist Anthony Burgess. A grim dystopian look at a group of young hoodlums, hell bent on raising hell, in this dark world of ultra-violence made famous by Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of the Burgess classic in 1975. Clockwork is a mixed media creation that simulates an automaton’s interpretation of street art, taking on the task of being ‘creative’. It incorporates spray paint, markers, a paper pad, plaster, and board.

This hybrid interpretation of urban life is a mixed media series made of plaster and board. It focused on street art and uses various paint types including Krylon, Rust-Oleum and/or Dupli-Color aerosols. Check out the Clockwork series and others like it, which highlight various mediums, surfaces and mixed textures.

Paint On Board

Paint Horizontal

More to come, check back later just finished a few new designs, using Prismacolor acrylic markers. It’s been about 18 years since I last drew up ‘Clockwork’ as a tag or street name. Far from being an automaton, I might start a new design at some point. Check out the latest sketches, mark-ups, and artwork @salleetech for progression photos.

Staying Power

A brand with staying power, is one that has a compelling story to tell, a narrative that others share about people convey about your product(s) and/or services.

When building a new business, seeking creative solutions, updates to optimize marketing dollars, create brand staying power and more, it’s important to view solutions, products, or services through a lens that effectively provides a glimpse of what’s to come. Branding and marketing go hand in hand.

We search for attributes and subtle cues that highlight ‘workmanship’, ‘service level agreements’ and the transition from niche to mass consumption. Our goal is to convey how a brand can resonate with a group of people, customers, or clients. We seek out similarities and creative solutions that meet the demands of a comparative and competitive market, finding ways to describe the essence of a future you or product. a brand might be to a group people, customers or clients. We look for similarities, again, creative solutions that satisfy the comparative and competitive system, looking for areas to describe a forthcoming ‘you’ or ‘product’ (insert brand name here). Regardless of the individuality of the brand, the design should reflect both the brand itself and image that your clients and customers associate with it.
