It is a work in progress but I figured I would share:

My plan is to have a cigar in the mouth with the smoke rising up on the left.
I really can't decide if I will detail this or just keep it this sloppy raw look, we will have to see.
I assume this style will appeal more to my personal tastes than most of yours.

Any comments so far?

By the way,
Mike (muhren) is a great painter and a truly generous BOTL. We have been talking in PM's and he has been very helpfull! I highly recomend supporting him and his art! I really appreciate all your help Mike!

Reminded me of this:

Painting is still sitting on my table, I look at it everyday but have not done anymore yet.
I would rather smoke than paint smoke, currently not enough time for both.
I do need to do some more work though!

Shane brother....looks pretty good but I bet I could do better hahaha jk man looks great glad to see your sharing your art work...best way to make a name for yourself and I am certain that you will

But I may have to throw a piece of work on here now to keep up!

Blak Smyth · 10-24-2011, 06:19 AM

I am slowly working on this painting, here is a current update.
I still have a way to go.

Not bad Shane..not bad looks good

I often draw random stuff during my work meetings, I call them the meeting minutes.
I will post them here when they have cigar related images like today did.
These are not anything impressive just some doodles during meetings, whatever I can do to stay awake!

Today meeting minutes:

Also any suggestion to what specific cigar band I should use in my above painting?
I was thinking maybe the red S&B (MOAB?), having it be the only colored item in the piece.

Thoughts?

I like that idea. Having the red band on the otherwise black and white would really pop. muhren did a similar thing with his Opus X pen and ink drawings. Although Illusione isn't in Red...That might be cool too...kind of a nod to their Bat wing logo.

I am not real happy it resembles the Illusione thing though, I never saw the Illusione thing before it was posted here. If I do that I might as well add the wings, might be kind of a cool tibute. It will be different enough but still be similar. I could add the red oval for a punch of color then. Thanks for the input Scott!
What does the 9 mean on the Illusione logo, any idea?

I am going to do the smoke different, was just messing around.

sevans105 · 11-16-2011, 03:55 PM

Oh...the Meeting sketch was great. you got skills man.

Thanks, I have tons. Just this is the first with a cigar in it.
I will keep adding cigars now I think.

You got some real talent there, Shane; thanks for sharing and hope to see more.
