Another dose of BeatRed Designs

Here is another clothing design from BeatRed. This is available on t-shirts, bandanas, mousepads, and other items in the future. I wanted to do some designs that were typical tattoo designs with my own twist. I would love some feedback from you! Tell me what you think. Enjoy!

Alignment

Getting our lives to the point where everything is aligned properly, where everything is balanced just right seems impossible sometimes. We may be at a point in life when everything seems out of whack. I am sure most (if not all) of us have been there.
When we least expect it, everything starts changing and everything falls into place. It's as if each aspect of our lives is it's own planet-as one shifts into place another follows until all of our "little planets" are perfectly aligned in our "little universe." All is right with the world. Hope you enjoy this one!
*"Alignment" is currently on exhibit at Wired Gallery in Bethlehem, PA. Please stop by if you are in the area! If you are interested in purchasing this piece contact me at kkehs@hotmail.com.

Convergence

As I would usually give some background on the meaning behind the painting, I am going to do something a little different this time. I am always more interested in how others interpret my paintings. That is what I love about abstract art-it means something different to each person. So, I leave you to view "Convergence" and hope that you will send me your comments, feelings & interpretations. Enjoy!

Clarity

Another one of my latest in the Alzheimer's series. I used some earthy tones in this piece, like the browns and yellows but I think with the bold blue/greens the painting still has a vibrant quality. Perhaps it's the contrast between the muted colors and the bold colors that make the bold colors appear even more brilliant. I am always very careful in my color selection when I paint-each area of the piece has it's own personality but, at the same time, has to compliment or contrast the next. Sometimes I change a color 10 times before it is just right. For me, the title "Clarity" suits this painting not only in the meaning behind it but also in the feeling you get from it. What is the feeling you get from this piece?
"Clarity" is currently on exhibit at the Goggelworks in Reading, PA. If you are in the area, please check it out in person.

The Skull



Ok, here's another BeatRed Design-the skull. I have 2 versions of this design-one with a white skull and one with a gray skull (pictured here). They are very similar but the gray has a softer feel to it, whereas the white one is bolder and has more contrast next to the bright colors. I like both, but this one seems to be the favorite of the 2 so far. More to come from BeatRed. If you are interested in a tshirt or bandana with this design or one of my other designs email me at kkehs@hotmail.com, attn: BeatRed. Hope you like this one!

Red Dragon

Here is another dose of BeatRed Designs.  This is one of my favorites (and seems to be others favorites so far).  This is available on tshirts for guys and girls and bandanas.  I am most likely going to do a line of mousepads with the BeatRed Designs as well.  Other future products may include buttons, magnets, messenger bags, etc... By request I will also be doing doggie bandanas and infant/kids clothes.  I have this dragon available in red and gray.  The red dragon looks awesome on a red ringer t-shirt especially.  This was the first design for my clothing line and it went through many transformations before completion.  I would love your feedback.  If you would like to order one of these shirts or bandanas drop me an email.  kkehs@hotmail.com  attn: BeatRed Thanks!
