Knock out



One of the five commissions I allotted time for last week as part of my experiment in doing commissions at home. Had a great time with these, although I don't know when I'll be able to squeeze any new ones into my schedule. Still, thanks to everyone who asked and sorry if I had to turn you down because I ran out of time.

The new Boombox girl print



Another print from this week's shipment, and soon to be available on my site.

This thing came out great! Really, perfect size (12" x 12") and perfect color matching (although this picture doesn't do it justice)! Can you tell I'm excited?

I'll start a pre-order period for this print (complete with 30% discount) when I get back from Baltimore. I may also bring a few to the show in Baltimore.

Best!

Boombox print


Hey everyone,

Remember a while back when I entered a piece of work into a design contest for urban clothing retailer Karmaloop.com?

I don't recall if I said it here, but I ended up getting a runner up spot. They were very generous and personally thanked me for entering, but in the end I passed on the prize because I wanted to keep the image so I could rework it and make a print of it.

Well, I did rework it and will be selling the giclée print of it very soon over at mikehawthorneart.com

Here's is the new version. Just a small change, but just what it needed.

Stay tuned. I'll be announcing a pre-order period very soon.

best,
mike

I'm back, with my Dirty Girls!



So, after a brief trip to Florida (with work, mind you) I'm back and have made up for the missing Dirty girl of last week as well as one for this week.

We have us an orchard worker, and a life guard. Both inspired by my trip down south.

Hope you dig'em. ;)

Dirty girl for 6/30


So, I kinda feel I should explain this week's girl a bit. See, I was going to avoid the typical type of images of "sexy girls". I wanted to focus on girls that were working everyday jobs, who happened to be sexy. Or girls that were capable and tough, which made them sexy. BUT, I had this image bouncing around in my head for a couple of weeks and I kinda had to give in and do it.

I remember taking a friend to a club in Philly (Day Dreams, off of 95, where the" girls wear nothing but a smile"!) and I was taken by the little things the girls would be doing that would remind me that "oh yeah, these girls are working!". One image that stuck in my head was how the girls would scuttle around on the stage gathering their money after their performance. If you paid attention (which, to my suprise most guys DIDN'T, as if someone turned off the"sexy" or something after the girl stopped gyrating) you'd see the "real" girl, having to gather up these dude's dollar bills that were thrown at them. I could just image the girls going to the bank to cash their ones in, or to deposit them, the way my waitress girlfriend used to do.

So, yeah, these are real people working*

Anyway, enjoy ;)

mike

* BTW - Thank God for that, cause they make the world a happier place! (Seriously, everyone at Daydreams was crazy happy, not all skuzzy like you'd expect. There were even a lot of ladies in the audience, having a great time. Like a party, just with naked girls dancing :)

Dirty Girls for reals


So, one day my wife and I had to get my mother-in-law's van towed. AND who should happen to show up for a lady tow truck operator. My wife and I looked at each other, and she said what we were both thinking. "You gotta make her the next Dirty Girl!"

See, sometimes your muse will come and tow your car away. :)

I threw in the stressed out guy cause I think it makes it funnier...pluse my mother-in-law was kinda acting like this ;)

A REALLY Dirty Girl!



This past week's dirty girl.

I think this would work better as a painting. Wish I had the time.

Karmaloop.com sticker design


So, I think I got this the way I want it. Looks kinda washed out in this jpeg, the high res version is more saturated.

I'll be submitting it soon. I'll keep you posted.

New contest art


Ok, so I'm working on a art new contest. All I have done right now is the line art. I haven't had any free time to finish it, so this has been sitting for a bit. I hope to wrap it up this weekend.

Stay tuned for more info,

OBEY Hawthorne!


I'm working on a piece for an OBEY GIANT shirt design contest. I'm a fan of Shepard, and would love to get to work this thing on a real shirt.

Anyway, here it is with no colors. Can't wait to finish it and enter this bad girl!

Sweet Science prints finished - part II!




Inevitably whenever I say something is "finished" I always end up going back into them and rework them. I got a great crit from my pals Erik Swanson and Tomer Hanuka, and here are the changes.
