UFC

Newest painting for a group show in NYC this December.

del Toro Show

That moment when you realize that the thing your granddaughter did to ruin the painting actually sent you in a better direction. Kept you from over-doing like you so often do. I got obsessed with this and couldn't concentrate on anything else until I finished it. For a Guillermo del Toro show I didn't even know I'd said yes to.

Sketchbookness

And of course the sketchbook stays alive.

Change

"What have They done to My Cephalopod?" More diversion.

Bee in a Bath?

First of about five pieces to be part of a group show in NYC this Fall. More details to come.
"Honey Sucking"

Death, Sandman

"Death, Sandman"Commission at the stew stage. I'll put it up on my wall and let it stew for awhile. But I gotta say...

New on Watercolor Paper

"Swiss Army Monocle"
Foolin' around with watercolor paper again. There was a beautiful loose state early in the process where I should have left it. Sometimes I just can't stop. Another Spectrum Live piece.

Nose Cap

"Nose Cap in Bloom"
I have returned from Sin City alive and well. Interesting experience. I did however manage to do some damage on Saturday when I worked most of the day in the gallery on this piece and finished it. good to be home. Next trip Spectrum Live in May. KC here I come.

Las Vegas Opening

Those of you in and around the Las Vegas area don't forget that I will be there this week. Come and say hi Friday or Saturday at the gallery. Check the link for details.

Paper Test

"First Catch of Spring"
Got some new watercolor paper and did this test today. I like the paper.

New Cool Cat

"Rare"
And once in awhile I'll do a little gem that somewhat restores my faith in myself to some degree.

Crowded Stuff

There was a time when I did quite a few of these crowded pieces. When I was a kid I did war drawings in church complete with sound effects. Lots of elbows from dad. A little touch up with these and they sing. I like them.

Blue

"Or Robot Boy"
That place where I'm wondering if it's done or not or if I should have gone with my instinct instead of my plan. All in all not bad. Recognize the Robot Boy reference?

Mat Board Drawing

Another little diversion. Gotta eat sometime.

"Pleasepleaseplease"

Demo

"Volunteer Bee Obstacle Course" 
Just a little demo.

Pugs will have their revenge

"Really?" Pugs seem to a particularly favorite target of those who dress up animals. This is another quick diversion as I work on some epic paintings.

Cooperation

Another quickie

My sanity pieces.
"Left Turn"

Video and Interview

One of the few times I've been caught painting on video. Kind of a preview from the publisher of my upcoming book.
