    Attention My mates paintings

    Hi, wanted to post up a mate of mines canvas paintings that he has done, I think he is really talented and he has recently started selling on Etsy sending his work as far as america, picture 3 is a happy customer he has done a few bits for. Apparently he is Canadian and works in film.

    He has a keen interest in Hip Hop and film but has also done many requests, let me know what you think










    This is his next painting not finished yet, Django Unchained

    3 Thanks given to lloydi

    very nice work, how much does he charge?
    You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.

    Is his name Dean by any chance? I recognise the work.

    If it is, he has done me one before. He done me a good deal on my one though.

    Ha... I've just looked on his FB page. And I am guessing you are his mate with the Lloyd surname who posted the pic of Snoop under an umbrella...

    Small World...!

    I can see your point, but from looking at his other work it is obvious that this was deliberate and is the style he chose to use for the painting. It also looks like a photo to vector conversion that has had the number of colours in the image reduced. I quite like it though. (">

    Well also very easy to do with photoshop and over painting.

    Here's one I did

    Original



    lloydi's mates version



    My version



    Haven't looked at matching up his other work but this print of his I am sure is done with photoshop printed and over painted as it's an exact match for the original photo with an overlay, not saying there is anything wrong or right about doing this as long as you are honest about it.

    Some of them he has not painted yet, he uses photoshop to portray what they will look like for his etsy shop. if it sells then He will hand drawn and paint. The image you highlighted is exactly that hence the match.

    He is capturing popular moments from films there is no other way as far as I know. He still has to hand draw and paint its not like he is one of these eBay sellers mass producing printed canvas pics, each one is hand painted
