See ya later, space cowboy

Just a little one off painting I had floating around in my head for an upcoming exhibition at the end August. Still painting people and things related to Colorado but exploring the idea of multiples where I change up the composition slightly and colors for different effect. We’ll se where this takes me.

I lost my shadow

For the last 9 years Lola was my shadow, whether it was supervising my paintings, laying on the bath mat while I showered, or going on adventures in the mountains. I adopted her when she was 18 months old when her former parents were moving to a part of Florida where she was a restricted breed. From that day forward my life was changed so, so, much for the better. Growing up around English Springer Spaniels, the occasional Labrador, or random strays that became part of the family but never a Bull Terrier. I didn’t really know what I was getting into but almost immediate fell in love with her and the breed. Never have I had such a loyal, goofy, stubborn dog who followed me everywhere. I literally can’t count how many times we were out on walkies and someone would scream “Spuds Mackenzie!” or “ I love your dog!” or “Hey, Chico!” While driving by or just stop to tell us the story about the bull terrier they once had. She brought so much happiness to everyone she met, and when the occasional drunk or crazy person in Capitol Hill got a little to close - backed them OFF!! Even though the house feels so much quieter I will be forever grateful for the adventures we went on and the memories we made.

Call For Entry

Celebrate at our new location. WOW! (WIDE OPEN WHATEVER) has been a Denver metro-area tradition for over 35 years and local artists of all skill levels and media (except for video) are invited to submit entries. Come and enjoy this exhibition honoring the work and diversity of our community.

Seems more relevant these days

Painting I made back in 2018 of and unnamed person wrapped in an American flag while it burns, unfortunately it seems all the more relevant these days. As the republicans continually dismantle our individual rights and the democrats seem to not have the appetite or cohesion to actually try to fix things. I want to be optimistic about everything but I honestly don’t see it getting any better in my lifetime.

Time for packaging

25 black ink on white paper 25 white ink on black paper for a total of 50 edition varied block prints. Super pleased with how these turned out. Now off to destroy the block and make a cancellation print for proof. Oh and if anyones interested in purchasing one drop me a line, $25 until they’re gone.

Also super excited about my new tags for 2022 take a look!
