Artist Busts String. Crashes!
Banjo neck WIP crash!
Yikes! Banjo Bust in WIP action!
Just had this in Illustrator.
Created stylized faded flamed frets – solid peach to translucent cinnamon, outlined for perspective, distance and torque. And a double-lined fire red and black pot edge on old Dixieland Jazz Player’s Banjo neck.
Busted a string! Crashed. I LIKED what I had going in this funky Jazz piece!!
Now ( after telling my story – kinda sucked outta the mood) gotta recreate it. Hope I can. Good news is that since I already did once, and knowing exactly what I want will make it go faster! Ok lets go! Stay tuned folks!
Second attempt to reintroduce Banjo Pot Lid and Neck , after crash.
Player so Hot Banjo catches fire!
Crisp lines of Banjo Pot Lid and Neck backed off to let layers underneath show through again. Too much still remains.Draws just a bit too much attention. I prefer the previous layers better.

Man in white shorts, matching suit and shoes w blond yellow hair, remote control and lawn mower, mowing flowersHungry Ghost in Scarlet Fez and Knickers w Mower and Magic, digital Painting by Troy Eittreim
Has your mow-bot gone bezerk? Trimmed your bush bare? Wanna put a little magic back into your secret garden? If so, this desert oasis ought to spark it right up!
Forty blistering miles out, in the hide-roasting hardscrabble Mojave, under by blazing red-hot sun, Hungry Ghost, in scarlet fez, jacket, matching polka-dot knickers and blue bow tie, uses mudras (mystical hand gestures) and magic to remote mow his shimmering desert oasis.
I was there. I saw him. I saw this surreal vision. And it was bizarre! Now, you can go out there if you want. If you can stand the heat! Or, you can save yourself the trouble. Purchase my giclee print! Hang it on the wall!
This phenomenal desert oasis image would look fantastic with vivid cadet blue, ecru, cool teal and ash gray!
Are you a believer in Feng Shui? Cool blue waters enhance tree energy of the East, while fiery scarlet red burns it down. Use this desert oasis to maintain tree energy in the East!

Does getting in that water make you pee your pants? Want to over-come that? If you say yes, then this image of buddha paddling the doo-doo outta Sea Monser is for you!
Way out on the very tip of his island, in fashionable fuchsia and lavender knit top, custard yellow shorts, and with magic paddle in hand, Buddha coalesces. Stomping the cool shore waters, he summons sea monster. Splishing and splashing, leaping, diving and snapping, sea monster tries to shuck the sermon.

Snowstreak Buddha, digital painting by Troy Eittreim
First manifesting in wintery tundra, this Buddha has traveled many miles. Somewhere along the way his tableau has became tropical.
Birds whisper as Wrathful Buddha exits cool and frosty borderland and marches toward plastic sunrise.
In the tradition of Buddhist Thangka painting, this Wrathful Buddha serves as a reminder to be wary of personal consumption and influence upon the environment.
