I’ve got a new painting up in this month’s issue of The Book of Imaginary Beasts. As always, there’s also a new timelapse video of my process.

Not the first new painting of 2010, since I actually painted it in December, but the first newly posted painting. This was a Christmas gift to my brother, last seen frolicking on the surface of the moon in Oregon. Pictured above.

Also, timelapse video of said painting, for those who, in these economic times, can’t afford to go to the moon themselves, you can live vicariously through the magic of streaming web video.

Another timelapse film, from the latest painting. Enjoy!

I mentioned a couple weeks ago when I posted my latest painting that I’d been shooting timelapse footage of my painting process. I’m happy to say the footage did not come out terrible, and in fact looks pretty great.

You can see the finished painting here.

Total painting time was about 19 hours. The footage was shot with a Canon PowerShot A570 IS running CHDK firmware, using Ultra Intervalometer to take a picture about every five seconds. The unedited footage ran almost nine minutes, so I actually had to speed up the footage even further to bring it down to the four minutes it is now. In this final version, each second represents a little less than five minutes of painting time.

Also, my goodness, I have terrible posture.
