Kraken
I'm excited to be working on a Kraken for Southern Vapors' shop in Baytown Texas. These are some awesome guys, super cool and so knowledge about everything vape. I made the owner Derek a Kraken drawing as a gift a month or so ago (above pic). In the first meeting over details of the piece we were thinking of doing it around 10 feet long and 8 feet high but once I really got a good feel for the space I decided that just wouldn't do. I finished a preliminary sketch, brought it to Derek and I could tell by his face that I was right. It has grown to approx 16-18 feet long and ceiling to floor. Sometimes as a creator you learn that you have to follow your gut and roll with glitches and this definitely was the case here! haha I was supposed to use a projector with the sketch to do the line work and try as we might that damn thing wouldn't work. Freehand on the wall it is! My obvious only choice other than blowing way more money on another projector and it actually came out better. The freehand was harder and more time consuming but if I couldn't do it then I wouldn't be a good enough artist to be given the project (in my opinion). Day one I got almost all the line work done and days 2-4 I hammered away at the base coloring. Monday I'm starting more in depth detailing which is going to take me far longer and be more labor intensive. I cant wait to see it all come together. I will keep posting updates here or come check out my work and the shop in person. They are at 322 E Texas Ave Baytown TX 77520.
