The last 30 days have been jam packed!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I ended my month of August by picking up my limited run of only TWENTY-FIVE prints of my Kendrick Lamar portrait and was ready to list them online for you to own. Of course, life happens around art and I quickly found myself in probably the busiest month of my life with a whopping total of only 6 days at home(Count Tyrone Rugen could count those on one hand!). A mixture of jobs and wedding related things took me from Phoenix to Medford to Palm Springs and finally Orlando; I've barely had time to catch my breath let alone sell products online.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The title comes from the poem Kendrick reads repeatedly through the album "<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/to-pimp-a-butterfly/974187289" target="_blank">To Pimp A Butterfly</a>". I was inspired by the symbolism and detail Kendrick had in his songs, brought to my attention by the beautifully crafted podcast, <a href="https://dissectpodcast.com/" target="_blank">Dissect</a>(S1). I wanted this painting to also hold that strong symbolism, focusing on Kendrick's inner duality fighting between his life in Compton, and his new life in Hollywood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The symbolism and references in "To Pimp A Butterfly" are so dense that this project was overwhelming to plan for. I went into it knowing I wouldn't be able to show as much symbolism as I would have liked. I relied heavily on resources out in the world; magazines, coupon books, newsprint; I really do like that 'luck of the draw' feeling when using collected magazine clippings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This painting was a really fun process! I don't usually post time-lapse videos before the final one but I enjoyed posting my process to <a href="http://instagram.com/heyoncley" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and hearing all your feedback. Even when the face didn't look exactly like Kendrick, you all stuck in there with supportive comments.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, who should my next subject be?</div>

What a crazy 4/20!!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://instagram.com/natural.cannabis.company" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="945" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqKfFQAPKrKqhbIMBsNZsX6OK-sMHrkif1u5OSrXbRQX8NSuLTV2vuhDONmC9yJKwi_ryYUBbCF498jDJJ8uz-1gmRuPFKFljF7dbVugfVFec9NG5Jq_K9REjAiv6JmEeGVFkTtD772Pv-/s320/MikeOncley-HighArt2018.PNG" width="253" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the beginning of March I stumbled across a 4/20 art contest via Instagram, <a href="https://naturalcannabis.com/high-art-2018-finalists/" target="_blank">HIGH ART</a>. The theme was "Freedom" along with "cannabis" of course so I figured my red, blue, and white style would be a good match for this theme. The contest was also being hosted by <a href="https://www.juxtapoz.com/" target="_blank">Juxtapoz Magazine</a>, which I(and many) consider to be one of the top art magazines currently. I was stoked to be a part of something they were putting on alongside <a href="https://naturalcannabis.com/" target="_blank">Natural Cannabis Co.</a> located in Santa Rosa. This was their 5th annual <a href="https://naturalcannabis.com/highart/" target="_blank">High Art contest</a> yet the first time I was hearing about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After I submitted my painting "Onjha" online, I waited. I've submitted to contests in the past which usually end up being a popularity contest. Winners are usually chosen by how many votes they can get from the "public" which leaves a lot of room for dishonest votes. That is why I was so excited to hear that High Art would be judged by a panel of 7 judges. Then, just a month after submitting, I got a notice that I was a finalist! Out of over 5000 submissions, I made it to the top 100! The wait was on again with 2 more weeks until the final announcement.</div>

As two+ weeks passed and 4/20 finally arrived, Morgan and I did what we normally do on that date since our time in Seattle, hit up the pot shops! After showing some face at <a href="https://thepottery.la/" target="_blank">The Pottery</a> in LA, and passing through <a href="https://www.delta9thc.com/" target="_blank">Delta9</a> we headed home just in time to relax at 4:20pm. We were casually laying on our bed browsing social media when my phone DINGS with a new email...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"YOU HAVE WON HIGH ART 2018!!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Excuse me? Me? I have? I frantically read the entire email thinking "is this a mass-sent email and am I just reading the subject line wrong??" Reading...reading...reading...My name and the title of my painting were IN THE EMAIL. This was sent directly to me..... I had won! FIRST PLACE!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since Morgan and I were originally considering heading to Natural Cannabis Co. up in Santa Rosa to make 4/20 a little more fun, I had completely forgotten that the winner would also be announced via Facebook live. Still laying on our bed, my fingers raced to Natural Cannabis Company's Facebook page. Their latest video, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/natcanco/videos/2051038651810549/" target="_blank">11 minutes of judges revealing the top 5 contestants</a>. A little bit of scrubbing and there she was, Onjha, in all her glory, in the #1 spot! It was such a surprise, Morgan and I were hugging and kissing and celebrating. What better way to celebrate our recent engagement than to win a cash prize that can help make our special day even more special?</div>

I must say, <a href="https://naturalcannabis.com/high-art-2018-finalists/" target="_blank">some of those finalists</a> were so impressive, I am honored to have even been in the top 20! I never would have expected my 1am submission to an online art contest would have gotten me to the final spot and I can't be more grateful.</div>

If you're curious about the 10k worth of donations, I've asked NCC to donate it all to Red Cross International. The Red Cross has always been a part of my life, especially with my prior involvement with <a href="http://musicsaveslives.org/" target="_blank">Music Saves Lives</a> and I know how important blood can be to we humans. So next time you donate blood, ask for an extra orange juice, on me!</div>

I imagine the morning of the 20th will look something like this:<br />

Over the 5 years I spent living in Seattle I began to experiment with only using red, blue, white, and sometimes black paint. All of these paintings were created after my local Seattle art gallery shut its doors for good meaning that this January event will be the FIRST time I showcase this series of paintings in front of real live humans! I have shown some of these pieces on my website before but am very excited to give everyone the opportunity to see these up close and personal. I will be selling all of these paintings at my booth including some newer ones.</div>

<br />
My pal Alex Hunter(<a href="https://mikeoncleya9bd.myportfolio.com/everyone-i-love-is-dead" target="_blank">Everyone I Love Is Dead</a>) also works on a variety of TV shows when he is not directing zombie hordes. He asked me if I could send him some art files to get printed for the background of the TV series Faking It on MTV.<br />
<br />
Faking It isn't a show I would typically watch so of course, I missed these scenes when the show came out. I recently stumbled across some paperwork from Alex and my art agreement, reminding me the name of the High Schooler show I signed up to be on! A quick Google search and I was able to find the Season 3 episode my art was on, available on Hulu(nice).<br />
<br />
The episode was about one of the main characters having a piece in the student art show. My art was used to accent the background and make it feel like an authentic art class/gallery.<br />

Not what you typically think of when you think of Simi Valley. So how do you portray that in a poster about exactly that?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
See how I did...<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
I am always happy getting a call from Adaptive Studios and when they asked me to make the poster for their new series, Simi Valley, I jumped at the chance.<br />
<br />
This project also intrigued me because this was the first drama series the studio had asked me to work on. The director(RJ Collins) was originally drawn to my "Struzan" style posters I previously made for Adaptive but through multiple compositions and drafts, he landed on this final overhead shot of the main character.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Much grittier, more mysterious, a little alarming. Each episode of the series starts and ends with beautiful drone shots of Simi Valley and I wanted to get that feeling in the poster. You can see all of my initial concepts and hear a little more of the process of getting to this final image in my <a href="https://mikeoncleya9bd.myportfolio.com/simi-valley">Portfolio</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">As it goes, the Director has a say for some things, the studio for others, and the streaming service(who purchased the series) for more. If you research Simi Valley on </span>Blackpills<span style="text-align: left;"> on your own accord, you may run into this graphic(right->). This image was made prior to my involvement and although its</span> vibrant<span style="text-align: left;"> colors and huge title help make it easy to catch your eye, the director felt the show needed a poster that felt like it actually came from the series. The bright color and tire tracks give this image a very "car chase" feel that the series does not have.</span></div>

I was fortunate enough to be asked to make the poster for this new series. I have worked with Adaptive in the past on <a href="https://mikeoncleya9bd.myportfolio.com/everyone-i-love-is-dead" target="_blank">Everyone I Love Is Dead</a>, the post-post-apocalyptic zombie series. Now equipped with an iPad Pro I felt ready and excited to tackle another <a href="https://www.wired.com/2015/02/drew-struzan-movie-posters/" target="_blank">Struzan</a> style poster for them.<br />
<br />

<br />
I had about 2 weeks to work on this poster from point of contact to delivery. A bit rushed but still enough time to put in some nice detail. I would consider this mostly an illustration since I used rough pencil strokes throughout the piece with my Apple Pencil in hand and the Procreate app recording my every stroke. The mobility of the iPad was crucial during the time I drew this since I was away from my computers for a good chunk of time during those 2 weeks. After the drawing and coloring of the actors was complete, I threw my drawing into Photoshop and added the galactic background and title text.<br />
<br />
I go into greater detail about the process and show my initial compositions in my <a href="https://mikeoncleya9bd.myportfolio.com/stellar-people" target="">Portfolio</a>.<br />
<br />
Adaptive also threw a great screening party for this series as well as another short series that I had the opportunity to create the poster for(more on that in my next post).<br />

We would watch Friends after dinner and we stuck around for most of the series. I have been playing with an idea for the past couple months.<br />
<br />
The concept was to represent each of the Friends with an inanimate object they love.<br />
<br />
What was part of their personality and their friend until the end?<br />
<br />
Even when their actual friends keep insisting that you "were on a break"?<br />
<br />
Or they won't make time for their friend dinner date nights anymore?<br />
<br />
Or when they bonk your kid on the head and lie about it?<br />
<br />
....anyway.....here's my new series, I'll Be There For You.<br />

I always had the notion that I would someday be able to afford a beautiful Cintique monitor and create my art digitally. Unfortunately(for Wacom), in 2015 Apple released their brand new Pencil that works seamlessly alongside their iPad Pro, and all for half the price of a Cintique of the same size. I was torn between a history of high designer praise and what could easily be the flavor of the week in drawable touchscreens.<br />
<br />

Portability, price point, and familiarity all coincided to make it the right choice, and so far it has been!<br />
<br />
I'm stoked how my rendition of Mariah Carey's "Glitter" as a movie about the loot boxes in <a href="https://www.destinythegame.com/" target="_blank">Destiny</a> came out. Presenting, GLIMMER! Starring the charming <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJorZzrWS7A" target="_blank">Cayde-6</a>, voiced by <a href="https://source.superherostuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/nathan-fillion-3.jpg" target="_blank">Nathan Fillian</a>.<br />
<br />
I used the app <a href="https://procreate.art/" target="_blank">Procreate</a> to sketch up this dude and it felt so natural! Apple really got it right with the pencil. So far, this thing has become a perfect companion on flights and I know it will only help my art grow. Can't wait to see what else I can do!<br />

I was cracking up while watching the scene in The Big Lebowski where Donny keeps trying to get the group to go to In-N-Out since deep down I am trying to get everyone around me to take me to that golden arrow of goodness. I figured what a better way to represent Donny's struggle than making each character in that scene into items off the In-N-Out menu.</div>

You may have also noticed that I have been using <a href="https://www.redbubble.com/people/mikeoncley" target="_blank">RedBubble</a> a lot more than I have in the past. Once I tried their way of uploading art into my shop, I was sold. <a href="https://society6.com/mikeoncley" target="_blank">Society6</a> has made it a chore to get your designs uploaded and implemented across multiple products. Not only that but their search tool helps you find nothing you're looking for except for the items they are pushing constantly. RedBubble has shown to be a more accepting community who searches for art and follows through in ordering it. S6 has proven over and over that it's just too cool for school and too cool for light hearted joke designs. By all means, if your art is geometric buffalo photographs collaged over pictures of galaxies with a female figure in negative space, then Society6 will be your home away from home. For me, I'll stick with RB from now on(plus they offer stickers! No brainer).</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwOAv6v7Nd3yVW1w0ZINIiOu24qwrZ2oMbeMM8wwi40hlwFIiZBLro3FXLijOf1PEHPhqHdlXGH1LTIRfY-1Y2ybHVvPiSlj0O4cakkOc68z8EPjHYCpPKaV_s98eb2BXduhDGejfHlAWE/s1600/MikeOncleysWasteland.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwOAv6v7Nd3yVW1w0ZINIiOu24qwrZ2oMbeMM8wwi40hlwFIiZBLro3FXLijOf1PEHPhqHdlXGH1LTIRfY-1Y2ybHVvPiSlj0O4cakkOc68z8EPjHYCpPKaV_s98eb2BXduhDGejfHlAWE/s640/MikeOncleysWasteland.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I'd say this nuclear wasteland I created was heavily influenced by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082340/" target="_blank">Escape From New York</a> since I was really into it at them time. Surprisingly I hadn't gotten into the <a href="http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_4" target="_blank">Fallout</a> franchise yet but this map only reiterates my recent love for Fallout and it's fictional world.<br />
<br />
I just dream of an awesome new apocalyptic city that makes it's home in the ruins of Disney World. That would be sweet. And I mean actual Disney World, not this <a href="http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Nuka-World_(add-on)" target="_blank">Nuka-World stuff</a>. I want the real deal. The Rushmore wasteland would be pretty awesome too.<br />
<br />
This also makes me wonder about old computer files in the future. Will I be an 80-year-old, transferring my old 60-year-old AI files to a more modern hard drive? Will digital media be a reckless and fragile storage option in the future when everyone has reverted back to printing everything?<br />
<br />

Say Cheese: An Ooey Gooey Book About 20 Tasty Cheeses.<br />

<br />
Joining together facts, some humor, and a little annatto spice I have created a 40-page picture book to help you know exactly where your cheese comes from. From American to Manchego to Swiss, I cover 20 of the most popular cheeses.<br />
<br />
The book is currently available for <b><a href="http://www.heyoncley.com/product-page/23b79432-f880-6562-5a84-c63b72dcf39e" target="_blank">pre-order</a></b> while they are getting published. I plan to ship them out mid-January of 2017, signed and numbered 1 to 100. I hope you get a kick out of cheese as much as I do and want to snag a copy of the book for yourself or that cheese loving significant other. Just click the image below to head to my shop and reserve your copy today!<br />

<br />
My new set of trading cards is entitled "<a href="https://www.neonmob.com/series/downtown/" target="_blank">Downtown</a>" and is a sequel to my first series I released on NeonMob last year. This time around, I used my red, blue and white paintings to highlight different people who you may encounter in a fictitious "downtown".<br />

After pondering about the "good fat" that hides in an avocado, I thought about the good fat that women become when they are having a baby! Maybe all avocados are pregnant..... it is a seed after all.</div>

As a change for Stupid Little Squares, I wanted to do this in COLOR! It just pops so much better on a t-shirt as a reminder for pregnant women to tell the public, I'm good fat! Hell, even if you're just comfortable with your curvy body, it's good fat!</div>

So celebrate your body and pick up a print or a shirt from my <a href="https://society6.com/heyoncley" target="_blank">Stupid Little Squares S6 store</a>.</div>
