Guitar Art...or Guitart (copyright pending)

Ive been pretty busy the past few weeks working on a number of projects. I've resorted to locking myself in "the office" and even going so far as  giving myself office hours and deadlines. In the process of moving houses I misplaced my camera battery and thus, haven't been able to upload any pictures of all my new art projects...so until I find it I thought I would show some past work:

I few years ago, one of my good friends approached me with an idea he had about using one of his old guitars as a canvas. His only requirements were that he wanted something "cool looking". He even gave me an assortment of Sharpie markers to complete the task.
So ...with all the planning of a sophomore doodling in a Biology class lecture, I set about creating...something. One small doodle led to another and another, and the art work seemed to grow on its own. Before too long I had filled the face of the guitar, each separate piece flowing onto the others, like songs in a set.
 Like I've said before, sometimes I get so paralyzed trying to create the perfect work of art that I have trouble even starting. These guitars (I've done 4 and a 1/2 so far) have become an exercise in learning to just "shut up and draw".

 The first guitar- A little rough by comparison, but with zero expectations or planning I dove in and was pleasantly surprised with how this came out eventually.

Another Guitar I did for a friend. A little more planning allowed the overall design to "flow" a little better, fitting the unique shape of the guitar and reflecting a little bit more of the person that will be playing it.

A design I did for the Randy Rogers Band. He must have liked this guitar I did for their merchandise table because he asked me to design his food truck later!
