Just a Trim

I never know what will influence me. I've always enjoyed black greek pottery. The lighter images against that black background just pop. I also remember a beautiful piece of furniture with chinoiserie decoration. Beautiful gold against black. I've been wanting to do a series of paintings against black. Here is a start. A silly start but a start none the less.

Smart

These are great fun. They are not a bad way to get to know color a little better too. Paintings coming soon.

More Bear

Right now it's bears. Who knows what's next. I'm just having some fun with this mix of drawing and computer coloring thing. A little diversion from intense painting which I continue every day.

Bidding Live

The bidding is live for the Art Blocks for Ghana fundraiser. Go and buy some great artwork and support an even greater cause.

Another Color Thing

Just trying another color illustration thing. Having a different kind of fun while I paint.

Society of Illustrators 53 Invitation

I guess this is cool enough to post. One of my pieces was chosen for the Advertising/Institutional invitation of Society of Illustrators annual exhibition. It's always an honor to be noticed by them.

Sketch Bookin'

Been so busy with this show that I haven't posted sketchbook stuff in awhile. So here are a couple of pages.

Horn Envy

I Love Your Horn. A new painting on copper.

Color?

I've been trying some new color treatments of previous drawings. What do you think, original or new treatment?

The Joust

What the world has been waiting for. I kinda like the way this one turned out. Couple of process shots included at no cost.

I Haven't Stopped Painting

It's like visual diarrhea. As I paint, these ideas distract me and won't let me continue until they are actualized. It's a curse.

Man, Strange Mind Drawings

I can't control this. They keep coming out of me from some place that is hidden from my conscious mind. Don't ask me to stop because I can't.

It's Almost Here

I know, you just can't stand it.

Draw and Illustrate

I like to continue drawing and illustrating.

"Nother Painting Coming

Just another major masterpiece in the works. A little bigger so will take a few more days.

When the Beesting

Strange little painting. Not that all of my paintings aren't strange little paintings but this one is particularly so.

Bus Stop

Just a new painting. Hope you all are still there.

Cautionary Tale

Just something I've learned lately. This is what happens when you leave drawings out with an oil palette nearby - oh and a roaming ball python that drags his fat ass, well maybe not ass, through the paint and then all over my table and work. Maybe the drawing is worth more now.

Getting Close

Closer.

Something Wacky This Way Comes

Just another little teaser. Paint, paint, paint.
