John's Artsy Fartsy Stuff

A showcase of my works of art. Don't expect any sort of uniformity to my pieces, because I dabble in a bit of everything. Over this summer I will be open for commissions. If you're interested, email me at [email protected]

Hey guys, please check out my new Behance project, People of Kendall. I put a lot of work into this, and I'm proud how it turned out. https://www.behance.net/gallery/75300781/People-of-Kendall #kendallcollegeofartanddesign #kendallcollege #portrait #inking #blackinkwork #inkd #penandinkart #penandinkdrawings #behance #miniatureartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_PIrxgUUK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ilfq9snnuxix

Finished up my portrait of Damien during some downtime @acetats I think I'm moving away from charcoal and instead using a brush pen. Does this mean I'm no longer mixed media? #dailyillustration #dailyillustrations #penandink #portrait #inking #microart #techniquetuesday #fineart #fineartphoto #inkonpaper #fingerprint #fingerprints #blackandwhite_photos #blackandwhitestyle #vangogh #inksketch #portraitoftheday #portraitsketch #portraitmodel #beardyland #microart #miniature #penandpaper #pen #ink #inking #hatching #mixedmedia (at Ace Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq3CkCLAMmj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ydeg4489j57h

It's a bit annoying putting down the tones that were already there before I sprayed it, but it was worth it. Sorry for posting the same thing twice but atleast I took pretty photos right? Been really busy lately but I'll have stuff to show for it. I've got a big dump of projects coming soon.

Almost done with the portrait of Derek. The finishing coat lightened some areas so I'm going to go back and darken it. #penandink #microart #miniature #penandpaper #pen #ink #inking #crosshatching #hatching #mixedmedia #blackandwhite #microart #tiny #line #linework #charcoal #portrait #squiggle https://www.instagram.com/p/BqVC7U8gEd_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hr596nqarvr7

I forgot to upload my ink portrait of Jon McDonald. Oh well, it's a good test of taking better photos to upload. As always commissions are open. #penandink #microart #miniature #penandpaper #pen #ink #inking #crosshatching #hatching #mixedmedia #blackandwhite #microart #tiny #tinyart #quarter #wrinkles #justpenart #spooky #halloween #photography #micro #copic #portrait #inkwork #art (at Grand Rapids, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo7Tm8dA22E/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l6sx7lxc10g6

Just felt like posting a wip of my pound of flesh practice sleeve. Much thanks to Michelle from Ace Tattoo for letting me practice with her machine for my apprenticeship. I've learned a lot from tattooing this arm. There's a lot I would change looking back, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. #tattoo #practice #practicetattoo #poundofflesh #poundoffleshhand #armsleeve #fish #goldfish #underwater #sleeve #ink #coral #apprenticeship (at Ace Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo4my2UgwWI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t6qlgrb0bhk

I hate posting during October because it feels like I'm competing against the whole world, but I'll endure it. Here's a progress shot of my instructor. I'm open for commissions, please call, email, or even text me if you're interested. #inktober #ink #inking #hatching #mixedmedia #blackandwhite #microart #penandink #pen #penandpaper #black #blackandwhite #tiny #little #charcoal #portrait #spooky (at Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University) https://www.instagram.com/p/BougdaWAxI7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vq4nwhbvow2x

Resident Evil Hunter done in the style of old stop motion monsters. The texture work on this took awhile but I feel it really turned out well. By far my favorite inking yet. #penandink #inking #hatching #crosshatching #blackandwhite #Residentevil #hunter #re1 #spooky #stopmotion #miniature #microart #jill #barry #jillsandwich #mansion #lizard #monster #capcom #survivalhorror (at Livonia, Michigan)

Finished Terminator. I actually finished this awhile ago and just forgot to finish it. I thought my inkings peaked here until I did the next one. #penandink #microart #terminator #t1000 #t1000terminator #ink #inking #hatching #crosshatching #blackandwhite #chrome #skull #dollarart #penandpaper #pen #art #illbeback
