Collie Mills 2.0 y'all

So I've been slaving over a new website and its finally here! I had a crazy crash course in html and css from the awesome Eleanor. She took all of the scariness away from the html and css monsters. So this blog is my breaking the bottle or christening of the new website. So go forth all and check it out!!!

If anyone finds anything funky happening in their browser please let me know and also if someone knows some html let me know, there's still a code that I have not been able to find that I would love to have concerning randomized images. :)

First post

This is my first post so I figured I'd post something recent and get some feedback. My name is Matt Doherty I graduated from Uarts in the spring of 08. I am now currently working as a tattoo artist in South Jersey. The shop that I work at is called Mystic Eye Tattoo. Here are some of my Tattoo pics. as well

(Heart Earth) Bristlecone Pines

Me and my friend Ryan rolled up to a patch of gnarly branched, twisted, not to tall trees growing amongst some rocks on the mountain. We stood around snapped some pics, smoked ciggarette's, drank a beer and moved on. He told me they were endangered in some way but didn't know why. I did some research years later and found out their signifacance. The Bristlecone Pine is one of the oldest living organism on earth, up to 5,000 years. Some were saplings while the pyramids were being constructed. They grow very slowly due the conditions they live below the tree line in cold and dry climates. They have thrived in places where no other tree would and free of compitition, each year growing 1/1000th of an inch. I thought this would be perfect for the Heart Earth show coming up w/ the autumn society brethren. These trees are just an example of how life on earth always finds a way and will continue to flourish long after were gone. Its these kind of things about the planet that amaze me, that something we may see everyday and take for granted, like a tree, may have a story far greater then any human could ever tell.

new work

Hey all! This is my first post. It's great to have a forum to share with so many other awesome artists. These are two pieces I've finished in the last couple months for a solo show in July. I'm sorta going for a paranormal theme, so the first is based on the Jersey Devil, and the second is the Roswell crash of 1945.

Self Portrait Study

Hello everyone,

I am new to this blog and figured I would post up something recent of mine.
This is a self portrait done in oil on panel (8x10). This was a weekend project
to keep myself working. Even though this was only a short study, comments, critics, or any corrections would be greatly appreciated.

This is Collie Mills

I had class with this kid when I was in my soph. year, and after the S.I. I started talking to him again on a regular basis. This kid just gets better and better with each piece. He is also was born and raised here in the city of Brotherly Love.

Maybe Joe can add him into the society?

wow, the fisherman's wife pieces are turning out so nice that i'm kind of kicking myself for not participating, but i've been super busy working on spots for the fall.
i will be all over the next theme.

for now, here's one of my spots- it's the poor drunken cowboy who was led off by a half a dozen cops after being dragged into the southwest terminal where i was waiting for my flight.



the poor guy was so drunk, he said, because he was so terrified of flying. this was the point at which the police were all standing around him discussing what to do with him after sitting him down and taking the alcohol that he somehow got into the terminal- and he just looked so embarrassed and so ashamed.
he begged them to just let him leave, and i don't know if they just escorted him out of the airport or if they actually booked him.

i kind of hope they let him go.

skinned elbows

hey guys- sorry it took so long for me to actually contribute, i haven't really been on top of my game this summer.

so i've been trying to work on my likenesses during the break, because all i'm interested in drawing is human interaction and life- but all of my figures end up having most of the same characteristics and looking largely the same. doing portraits of my friends ended being a good way to both practice resemblances and knock out some spots for the fall semester at the same time.

so here is my friend linnea in one of her finer moments:



... she is just so graceful.
