Art in Progress Video
Just posted a time lapse video of a work in progress called “Marvelheros”. The video is assembled from photos taken at the end of painting sessions. The photos help me track progress on the painting, documenting the creative process, and also providing ideas for future work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi6vE1l2Hi0
