West Indian Girl Band Painting



I've been communicating with a great L.A. band called "West Indian Girl" and have begun doing a series of paintings for them, ideally for a CD cover. After talking with founding member Fran Ten we started brainstorming some ideas. If I did one painting and it wasn't right it would be a shame for everyone so I decided to do something I've never done before; create an outline image, scan and print it onto canvas and watercolor paper, then do a series of paintings in different styles. This photo isn't very clear, but it will eventually be scanned in at a high resolution.

I'm excited about all the possibilities for these paintings. We can sell these versions, prints of them, the band can paint in their own versions and sell them, fans could color them in at shows...we can create a coloring book for the kids! These will take a while to finish so I'll post them as I complete them. I'm going to do versions in pop art, impressionism, etc.
