NEW ORIGINAL TEE by Jim Mazzotta
In between digging out home and gallery after Hurricane Ian, Jim did manage to create a new tee shirt design. We are all determined to recover from the storm impact and a bit of humor and charity will help. 30% of all sales will go to the Florida Disaster Fund to help victims of the storm. Hammer Time is available in several styles and colors so click on the links BELOW and help us bring back some sunshine and happiness to Florida!
A PEEK INSIDE THE STUDIO
A rough concept was agreed upon that centered on a swimming sea turtle. Quite a few base coats were added for the underwater tones needed.
We recently began a large commissioned piece from an avid sailor who owns a classic 1970s sailboat here on Captiva. On board was a folding galley table need was in need of a seaworthy sprucing up.
CLASSIC SAILBOAT GALLEY TABLE
The heavy detail work begins with lots of masking to facilitate all the airbrushing required for bringing the fish to life. Subtle gradients brushed in give deep dimension to the sealife.
With most of the detail work finished, it's time to go back into the art and add small details, perform touchups, strengthen shadows and highlights to bring it all together. With any luck, we'll get a ride on the boat!
