Brian Patenaude

Portrait of Whazlowe (I love their names!)

Something strikes me about Brian Patenaude’s work — his bright use of colors, his unique subject matters, and above all, his amazing linework. I’ve wanted to write about Brian for the longest time, but had wanted to add in his contributions for the PikaPackage Project into the post, and now I can — because I finally got some sun through today for the photography session. (I’m gathering some stuff to make myself a lightbox, one of which is the most important component — a big box!)

The Smurf Color Remix in Grey

Brian Patenaude's prints!

His contributions to the PikaPackage bunch — full sized prints of his paintings which are mostly limited editions of 250.

He is now working on his Smurf series of prints, which you can see if you hop over to his shop. The Texas-born artist is now residing in Kirkland, Washington and blogs often too. Check out the rest of his contributions on our Flickr stream!

….. lights please.

I am back on home soil, and I’m glad to report that everything is now on schedule after recovering from a bout of fatigue and lethargy after my hectic last week in Kyoto (pictures to be up soon too!) One big problem, however, is that the weather has been a little erratic and I can’t seem to get good, consistent light to take pictures for the contributions I’ve received for the PikaPackage Project. I’m seriously thinking of building myself a makeshift lightbox to take pictures in.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to build a simple one, perchance?
