We got a web page for the coffin show that will be taking place at Winky DInk Ink in March.

Lutis

Color illustration for Lutis. Initially this painting was softer with a background and more of a nickelodeon touch. I wasn't feeling it so I trashed it and started this one. Another lesson of less is more.

I was asked to do book cover for Deb Hoag, author of Crashin' The Real. After reading the book I couldn't help but want to do the cover in a cartoonish way. With inspiration from Alice in Wonderland's cheshire cat, Lutis was created with an extra but of evil. Check back for the final.

Crashin' The Real

Daryl's Flowers

Daryl's tattoo design. We took our time making this a 3 session tattoo closing in around 7 hours.

Maple Leaf

Did a pretty cool maple leaf last night on this guys inner arm. The work of Juan Salgado had a large influence on the background of this piece. Check out the whole tattoo at www.matttruiano.com

Classy Zombie

I was asked to do a tattoo of a zombie pin-up girl with a 50's style/classic look. The customer gave me some good reference and this was the final outcome. Check back to see this as a tattoo when completed.

Who's on first

I decided to start a blog so I can hear some feedback from visitors. Check back daily to see what's new. I will try hard to update as often as possible with news, events, photos of sketches, in progress shots and details of current paintings as well as tattoos.

First upload is a drawing of my second coffin canvas.

Hope you enjoy it. Check back in a few days for an in progress shot.
