Seamus & Eddie outside their apartment π 2k
🕑 Added 2023-02-03 16:44:32 +0000 UTCFinally got this painting done! This was by far the most work I've put into anything I've done on here. But, this painting was special to me - I really loved getting to flesh these two guys out a bit and develop them into more real people through showing their environment and a bit of their interaction. And Seamus's car, haha. I hope you all enjoy this painting, and I hope maybe it can function as a window into their world for you, to allow you to live alongside them for a while!π
trivia:
- anybody able to name the make and model of Seamus's car?
- does the branding on his intercooler look familiar?
- what are they drinking? and does it appeal to you? π
I included a few closeups in case you prefer it cropped that way for whatever reason. Variation will be coming soon with a few extra clothing items being worn (not too many, I promise)!!

I need a man who looks at me the way Eddie looks at Seamus.

Dude this is insane. What a beautiful piece. I love when you can really comemct with a character through a drawing. It's such a true to life vibe this piece radiates. Excellent work π₯Ίππ

It looks like it's VW Golf GTI, and if I had to guess it's around a 2010 due to the round headlights and wide grill, though the body kit makes some of that hard to discern more details than that
Patrick Estanbouli
Amazing work! Is it a VW GTI?
Celery Man

oh man, absolutely!! I definitely see them somewhere in the dorchester/somerville/allston strata of boston. it could be any of those neighborhoods, I want to leave it a little bit vague!!
Celery Man
thank you so much!! I love painting lighting and this hot summer day was a fun mood to try to capture

Fantastic work! As someone who remembers sitting on a stoop in Brooklyn on a summer day, I can say I know the feeling this image evokes. Bravo, sir! β€οΈπ

Good god, man. It's really awesome β an honor, actually β to see more of the breadth of your artistry emerge. You are capable of such a wide range of approaches and effects. I'm just gobsmacked at this beautiful work.

Awesome work!!! Love the lighting βοΈ
Celery Man
thanks!! yes I will definitely be putting this up on my redbubble shop for prints!! but my thinking was to wait until it's out on twitter, too? so that non-patrons don't get access to it? what are your thoughts on that, I'm open to suggestions!
Harry Bleckby
beautiful work, man. It'd look great as a print too :-)
Celery Man
thanks so much!! I had such a blast getting into all the details of the scene and trying to tell as much about them as I could using their environment!! π
