By Jareth McBrehon
As I paint, I am in a state of constantly accenting strong shapes playing with depth. To me it feels very much like sculpting. I start out with a very vague idea, block it out with large rough shapes, and continue to push and pull the details as I work. As I continue to work, the details become finer and finer until I am looking at a finished piece of work.
This is my prosess.

Starting in 2012 I would head to the pub (dive 75 mostly) to practice an exercise I learned form art school. Using cool Grey Alcohol based markers I would quickly sketch out concept thumbnails. Eventually I recognized that I truly liked black and white images and working in depth over light.
Eventually I learned I preferred to work with Highlights over shadow and moved to white Ink onto black paper. I used beer in my new paintings and dubbed the new style "Goth Noir" because of the gothic images on the black paper.
