Hey, what ever happened to your artwork? I really like the pencil sketch and was hoping to see more.......

Keep it up brother.
[Reply]

Painting is still sitting on my table, I look at it everyday but have not done anymore yet.
I would rather smoke than paint smoke, currently not enough time for both.
I do need to do some more work though!

Shane brother....looks pretty good but I bet I could do better hahaha jk man looks great glad to see your sharing your art work...best way to make a name for yourself and I am certain that you will:-) But I may have to throw a piece of work on here now to keep up! :-)

I am slowly working on this painting, here is a current update.
I still have a way to go.
What do you guys think?

I often draw random stuff during my work meetings, I call them the meeting minutes.
I will post them here when they have cigar related images like today did.
These are not anything impressive just some doodles during meetings, whatever I can do to stay awake!

Also any suggestion to what specific cigar band I should use in my above painting?
I was thinking maybe the red S&B (MOAB?), having it be the only colored item in the piece.

Thoughts?
[Reply]

I like that idea. Having the red band on the otherwise black and white would really pop. muhren did a similar thing with his Opus X pen and ink drawings. Although Illusione isn't in Red...That might be cool too...kind of a nod to their Bat wing logo.
[Reply]

I am not real happy it resembles the Illusione thing though, I never saw the Illusione thing before it was posted here. If I do that I might as well add the wings, might be kind of a cool tibute. It will be different enough but still be similar. I could add the red oval for a punch of color then. Thanks for the input Scott!
What does the 9 mean on the Illusione logo, any idea?

I am going to do the smoke different, was just messing around.
[Reply]

Oh...the Meeting sketch was great. you got skills man.
[Reply]

Thanks, I have tons. Just this is the first with a cigar in it.
I will keep adding cigars now I think.
[Reply]

You got some real talent there, Shane; thanks for sharing and hope to see more.
