I finished this painting live on stage in one hour!!

People ask me all the time how long it takes me to do a piece and the time always ranges but I train to be able to finish a piece between 1-2 hours so I can complete a painting in time with a stage performance show.

I’ve spent years practicing to be able to accomplish this feat. And I have tons of paintings under my belt to prove it. Maybe one day you will catch me live.

This is probably one of my favorite commercial pieces I’ve done.

Coming up with this one was difficult, there were NO angles of Samuel L Jackson’s face at the right angle so I had to screenshot from Pulp Fiction and use a bunch of references to draw in his skin to get rid of his beard and mustache. Then I put it all together to match the icon Afro Samurai image to make a realistic version.

As hard as it was, I had SO much fun and got SO MUCH SUPPORT! I love you all, thank you for enjoying my artwork.

Jackson also signed this original piece!

Comment 🙌🏼 if you want a print!!

I hate how instagram ruins the quality. Anyway. This is just a hand-size quick piece I did. I’m trying to break away from my normal. My mind needs a rest. I haven’t been the best mentality and I’m trying to step away from people.

I didn’t want to sketch a person today so I decided to go with this! Should I draw more animals?

“Powerful Seduction”
Artist - Naomi Griffin @xena.griffin @xena.griffinsartshop
“I had so much fun painting this piece with Aliia as my focus. I wanted to portray her power and beauty by contrasting smooth and rough strokes, contrasting light and dark color like the yin and Yang symbol. That’s what it means to be a powerful woman, like Aliia.” - Naomi Griffin

CLOSE UP!!

I FINALY FINISHED A PERSONAL PAINTING AND JUST IN TIME FOR ART BASEL!! I had a lot of fun on this piece from doing the face to the candles to the background. I’m studying various artists and putting them all together and mixing it with what I’ve been doing while also referencing a photographers work. This piece is part of my Africa series and it’s titled “BURNING FROM BOTH ENDS”

I hope you like it!! See you in Miami!

Here’s a marker/colored pencil sketch practice that I did on the metro. You will be seeing a lot more of these since I don’t have a car at the moment
