bumblesea jewelry hatched egg necklace

I’m pretty handy with photoshop, I’ve been interested in hyperrealism for a few years now. I’m toying around with the idea of selling some prints of hyperrealistic digital paintings/illustrations. all the tests projects I’ve done have been paintings of original photographs so this could be a way for me to get more involved in photography again.

I’ve been pretty busy keeping up with bumblesea and working on bigger projects so this art print idea is reserved for me to work on in the wee hours of the morning when I find it impossible to fall asleep. I’m currently working on an illustration of the hatched necklace (the egg only- I’d go crazy trying to paint the chain), and it’s about half way done. the photoshop file size is already up to nearly 2 gigs. luckily I have a few extra hard drives laying around that can be dedicated to holding all the original files.

right now I’m focusing on launching the much anticipated (and more affordable!) acrylic line. (I know I’ve been promising the new line forever..) the jewelry studio will be able to cruise on autopilot once it’s launched. I’ll still be on twitter and of course I’ll still update the blog- but it’ll give me more time to spend with friends and family.
