I Paint Mostly

I will post illustration work. Sometimes sketches in watercolor and acrylic and other stuff you might be interstested in. I'm and Illustrator, Art DIrector, teacher, dad, fighter, gambler and artist. I like to bike, have strong opinions on stuff I learn about, and I love crazy 2d Art. Michael Mann is the greatest director. I'm better at conversation than social media. So if you wanna talk - just contact me.

I've been having fun linking these Instagram collages. If you look at my profile - the weird half images should start to make sense. 😜⁠ @uncamuck⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #arturban #art #artonistagram #artfulliving #remix #artistatwork #popsurrealism #surrealartwork #surrealpainting #surrealportrait #surrealisticart #punkrockart #punkpopart #punkartist #outsiderartist #pulpart #calgaryartist #albertacanada #yycart #yycartist #yycarts #artprint #artprints #fineartprints #artprintsforsale #printsart #printedwallart #print #prints #printart⁠ (at Nvrlnd.yyc) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZkY-ElvLVa/?utm_medium=tumblr

Every doll I’ve created connects to somebody different. Who can predict what a person will see themselves in a piece of art? The best part is that I’m not trying to force anything on anybody, and we’re all just exploring.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #benefitshow #livingbenefits #artcollecting #collectmemoriesnotthings #collecting #collection #collector #artcollector #collect #collectart #collectable #novelty #arturban #art #artonistagram #artfulliving #popsurrealism #surrealartwork #surrealpainting #surrealportrait #punkrockart #punkpopart #punkartist #outsiderartist #pulpart #calgaryartist #albertacanada #yycart #yycartist #yycarts⁠ (at Nvrlnd.yyc) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZZvIBSJNSW/?utm_medium=tumblr

It took me years and years to loosen up on my art, and I spent more time trying to ease up than any other art lesson a person could learn. I feel like I’m just starting to get it.⁠ ⁠ Soooo afraid to fail.😨⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #me #life #who #whocanrelate #weirdo #weirdoart #weirdosunite #weirdosforlife #warriorsandweirdos #whataweirdo #creativeweirdos #weird #shenanigans #stayweird #weirdness #arturban #art #artonistagram #artfulliving #punkrockart #punkpopart #outsiderartist #calgaryartist #albertacanada #yycart #yycartist #yycarts #yycartscene #yycartcommunity #yycartwork⁠ (at Nvrlnd.yyc) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZUqovDpBEW/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s not always easy to be an optimistic person, especially when you're in the middle of a pandemic, and you feel all these barriers have been put in place to hold you back.🤪⁠ ⁠ Be optimistic. It’s almost over, and these barriers are just the current sandbox we have to play in and create. Look around at what’s in your sandbox and play.👯⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #try #trynewthings #tryagain #doit #justdoit #doityourself #youcandoit #letsdoit #doitnow #doitright #doitall #doitdifferent #doitwithflair #doitwithlove #nevergiveup #arturban #art #artonistagram #artfulliving #surrealism #popsurrealism #surrealismartcommunity #surrealismworld #neosurrealism #contemporarysurrealism #lowbrowpopsurrealism #modernart #surrealisticart #punkrockart #punkpopart⁠ (at Nvrlnd.yyc) https://www.instagram.com/uncamuck/p/CZPcoDfJyOZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

I don’t think that art as a simple decoration is a bad thing, but it’s not a good thing.😌⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #insight #personaldevelopmentjourney #enlightenment #selfknowledge #personalgrowthdevelopment #art #artonistagram #artfulliving #surrealism #popsurrealism #surrealismartcommunity #surrealismworld #contemporarysurrealism #lowbrowpopsurrealism #surrealisticart #digitalart #punkart #punkrockart #punkpopart #punkerart #punkartist #outsiderartist #calgaryartist #albertacanada #yycart #yycartist #yycarts #yycartscene #yycartcommunity #yycartwork⁠ (at Nvrlnd.yyc) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZKczwCPApL/?utm_medium=tumblr

I could have been a landscape painter, figure artist, political artist etc. I’ve tried a lot of different genres. But nothing ever landed that well except when I started exploring fantasy. But even fantasy art didn’t truly stick. I love being a massive fan of all of these types of art, but I was really interested in a different idea.⁠ ⁠ I wanted to move outside the norm and explore these images that kept showing up in my sketchbook. Why fight and do what is expected of you to fit other people’s sense of norm. Have you seen TIK TOK. We are all weird.⁠ ⁠ Might as well enjoy the ride.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #behindthescenes #behind_the_scenes #studiolife #wip #wipart #mywhy #whyamilikethis #whythough #whyamiawake #ididitagain #weirdo #weirdoart #warriorsandweirdos #artfulliving #surrealism #popsurrealism #surrealismartcommunity #surrealismworld #neosurrealism #modernart #surrealartwork #surrealpainting #surrealisticart #digitalart #punkart #punkpopart #calgaryartist #albertacanada #yycart #yycartist⁠ ⁠ ⁠ (at Nvrlnd.yyc) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZFKRVhraik/?utm_medium=tumblr

Work in Progress. Swipe Left for the Video.⁠ ⁠ This is me workin’ super fast.

The best part about making and collecting art is that it does all the talking for you.📢⁠ ⁠ Somebody walks into your house, and they’re like, “whoaaaah. Nice Art.”💥⁠ ⁠ You can get away with so much more weirdness if you have weird art around.😎⁠ ⁠ FACT!🤓⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #benefitshow #livingbenefits #artcollecting #collectmemoriesnotthings #collecting #collection #collector #artcollector #collect #collectart #collectable #novelty #arturban #art #artonistagram #artfulliving #artistatwork #surrealism #popsurrealism #surrealismartcommunity #surrealismworld #contemporarysurrealism #calgaryartist #albertacanada #yycart #yycartist #yycarts #yycartscene #yycartcommunity #yycartwork⁠ (at Nvrlnd.yyc) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY1r6koJHM9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sup. High Five.🖐🏻⁠ ⁠ Today in the studio. What a mess.⁠ ⁠ Took me a while to like the chaos of 🖌️painting. Because I’m a bit of an efficiency nut, and illustration clients wanted me to work fast, I focused on digital art for a long time. NO MESSES.⁠ ⁠ Now that I’m painting - Splat.🎨⁠ ⁠ Paint gets everywhere.⁠ ⁠ High Five for creative messes in the comments. Don’t leave me hangin’.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #about #whyamilikethis #ididitagain #me #me #life #who #whocanrelate #weirdo #weirdoart #weirdosunite #weirdosforlife #warriorsandweirdos #whataweirdo #creativeweirdos #weird #shenanigans #stayweird #weirdness #surrealism #popsurrealism #surrealismartcommunity #surrealismworld #neosurrealism #contemporarysurrealism #modernart #lowbrowpopsurrealists #digitalart #yycartscene #yycartwork⁠ (at Nvrlnd.yyc) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYwiy9bp4N8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Been doing home improvements and focusing on work the past month. Today I needed to do some arting. Decided not to try to do anything more than get uncomfortable.

First row complete and in need of chemical treatment. Used an air hose to blow out all the dust but if I want to keep that patina it’s going to need some acrylic. (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSQF-Bqpi3y/?utm_medium=tumblr
