More Wood

"She Rides a Bee with many Eyes"
OK I think it's finished. Another for Spectrum Live in May.

Another on Wood

One of the things I love about painting on wood is that it speaks to me sooner and tells me to stop painting before I ruin things.

"Rider Rodent"

Spectrum Honors

Another incredible honor from Arnie Fenner and the Spectrum Live gang. This ad will run in the April edition of American Art Collector Magazine. Pretty great group of artists and then there's me.

And if that's not enough: "Shared Eyewear" has been nominated for an award in Spectrum 21 in the institutional category. We'll find out in May, at Spectrum Live, if I actually win. Really tough competition so I am extremely honored: http://fleskpublications.com/blog/2014/03/03/the-spectrum-21-award-nominees/

Another Quick Woody

"We feed our Pets only the Best"
Do you think anyone will buy these at Spectrum Live in May? These are really fun to work on as I tackle major commissions for you all out there. You know what, my job is pretty cool.

Little Claybord Commission

"The Writing Tree"

Mixed media on claybord. I went a little overboard, as usual. It really came to an good place. I was going to do this simple sort of drawing but things just kept happening. Claybord can be like that.

Little Things on Wood

"We breed our Pets with partially Armored Skin"
A little different than my usual offerings but I think I'm liking the direction. Hoping to have a bunch of these small pieces on wood done for Spectrum Live in May. Love to meet some of you all there.

"The 3 Bigger Pigs"
A quicker commission that wasn't as quick as it probably should have been.

Quicker Commission

"Why Fly Yourself when You can be Flown by Something that doesn't really Fly?"
My latest quicker commission.

Batman and Joker

A new commission. I still have a couple of things to do like finish off the stack of stones next to Batman but will take a few days to step away from this to think about it. Sometimes a fresh perspective is the best thing.

Enter Spectrum 21

Deadline to enter Spectrum 21 is tomorrow. They are now taking digital submissions but if you mail prints the post mark for tomorrow is good enough. If you've never entered give it a try. it can be a true game changer. If you don't know what Spectrum is find out.
Spectrum Fantastic Art

I always choose one of my entries as a "sure get in piece."  I have been wrong more than once. Maybe this year I will be right with Fredusa.

Proscenium Hill

"Proscenium Hill"
Latest commission and it works pretty well, at least I think so.

Book

So I have decided to do another black and white book of sketches and drawings. Stuff like this converted color drawing and sketchbook pages. it will be the same size as my last one, 6x9 inches, with apprx. 80-100 pages and a color front and back cover. It will be a very limited run mostly for Spectrum Live but I will try to save a few for my online guys. I'll post a few more possible pages over the next little while.

Video Interview

A nice interview done by my gallery in Soho, AFANYC:

Bill Carman Interview

More Armored Bees

"Armored Bees Need Walking Too"
These faster paint/drawings are different kind of fun than my more intense paintings. This is a commission 11x14 inches on paper. I love what I do.

Little Drawings

Been doing these little drawing over on FB. Look kind of cool all together.

Catwoman

"Milk Bath"
I think we'll call this finished. You know these superhero commissions can be really fun. I think we need some comic book covers from Bill Carman.

Foibled

Opening December 14 is an invitation only affair. Pretty swanky. Hope some of you can make it to the show.

Nearly Ready for my Soho Show

"Shared Eyewear"
I finally have to stop on this painting. This is one of those pieces that has put me back on a good path. Varnishing packing and hipping is in my future. Maybe one more painting for the show too.
