Hard Rock Vegas Pinup Speed Painting (week 20) by Drake Pinup
http://drakepin-up.com/ Inspiration and commitment got me through this week. I was put to the test this weekend. I had a bachelor party to go to this weekend in Las Vegas and zero time during the week to create a pinup. I decided to try to work on it at the pool at the Hard Rock Hotel where we had a cabana for the day. This was a crazy goal. Security at the pool could not figure out why I needed to bring in a computer bag into the pool area and I now know why. It is a full out wild party in there and not the safest place for electronics that is for sure. The Inspiration there was unbelievable! There were beautiful people everywhere. The stage was set but I had no idea how I was going to concentrate with a seven foot speaker 5 feet away from me, a cabana full of friends that I havent seen in years, beer flowing like water because it was so hot, and the parade of models populating the pool area. So give me a break this week as it was all I could do to live up to the challenge of one a week.

 http://drakepin-up.com/ This week had to be a quick one and I was able to create it in under an hour and fifteen minutes. Between the unreal deadlines that are racing toward me at the office, a Mothers day weekend, and the fact that I started P90x this week, it needed to get done and I had to fit this in after a grueling workout. being a designer/artist means that I dont get away from my computer or out of meetings very often so I am extremely sore...  http://drakepin-up.com/ I have been living in my studio since Memorial day incredibly inspired and motivated. Unfortunately I am not able to show my professional work. Please don't think that I have given up on the pin-ups, but I think that I painted until I was physically ill, and I am now trying to recover. This is my first one after a few weeks off and I am motivated to continue the journey. It may have been good to get away for a while...

In this video, the 10 poses that were sketched out in the last episode are given some color while I reviewed the responses. #8 seemed to be the favorite. There are others that I may want to finish out, but in this video, I pushed forward on #8.

I have all the excuses that anyone could have not to complete this challenge but I try to just open photoshop and start a pose. Then I am hooked. Being unmotivated and uninspired is an awful thing for any artist.

There is not a lot of "there" there in the concept, but it was a nice exercise. I have been trying to find a good balance of natural world and sci-fi. I enjoy seeing visions of the future that are optimistic, but they seem to miss the drama that a dogfight between concept spaceships ripping through the middle of the piece, an invasion of a robot army or an alien...

I will try to streamline the process through the year.  March Madness!! College basketball is in full force these days and I needed a theme for the week, so here it is. I struggled with the pose for this one and after trying out several final four configurations, I decided to go with a somewhat standard pose with a few new techniques. The biggest change for this weeks style was to go to a thinner line width overall and focus the painting on the forms. I personally like the heavier line weights and feel...  This week I travelled to New York on a business trip. I was a very inspiring trip, even if it doesnt reflect in this piece. The first night I was having a drink at a bar and looked up at some of the images on the walls and there were all these models putting on make-up. It was head shots, but I could see the pin-up potential. The next night I went to see the Adams Family on Broadway, which was not that great, but I thought I should do a goth pin-up... This is a painting that I created to hang in my house. We have been remodeling the house and I could not decide on what to hang. This may not be right either, but it was a good excuse to finish a high res piece of art for fun. My wife requested a peaceful landscape. I will be printing this on canvas about 55" wide. We will see how it looks in the space. Hope you enjoy,Scot  This week was was all about ideation and quick sketching at work. Well that and a lot of meetings and presentations, but when I was drawing, it was fast and loose. This weeks pin-up was an exploration in taking this technique of pushing and pulling value to create silhouettes and forms. The interesting thing that I find with this technique is that the more you work on it, the more you lose the energy of the original paint strokes and gesture. I like...  This week was quite challenging, both conceptually and finding the time. My second daughter was born this wednesday and as you can imagine, this was my last priority. I wanted to keep my commitment to a pi-up a week in 2010 so I tried a different technique. In this painting I tried some new brushes and layer effects to create a loose painting style. It was fun, and I liked the sketch, but I think I was too preoccupied to bring it together as a painting....  This is one of the Pin-up paintings available @ drakepin-up.com.

It is the time of year that I give a pin-up to my nephews and cousins, so this is their gift. It was fun to get back into it.
