Above is my new t-shirt design.  I was drawing a tumbleweed and realized I could make it take the shape of Texas and use the Texas rivers as branches.  I actually drew this while I was sitting in a gym waiting for my son's basketball game to start. The shirts come in two colors and I've got them for sale in my shop.  On a side note, I should have that commission piece ready to roll soon.  I'll post a progress picture in a few days.

I put down a few coats of paint and laid in some acrylic transfers of some text and an oil well.  My next steps will consist of adding some color and maybe some stars.  I'm really pleased with how this is shaping up.  I hope to be finished with this one in the next week or so.

Here is a first look at a commission piece that I got started on this week.  It measures 24" x 40" and is on a cradled board that I made myself.  I started with a background of vintage Texas ephemera.  The client suggested a few specific colors and an oil well in the center, other than that,  it's free game.  I'm super excited about this one.  It is also the largest piece I've ever done.  I'll keep you posted on the progress.
