I Forgot
How miserable it is painting realistic metal. But it’s coming along.
Waiting
for this one to dry so I can hand build a sweet rococo frame. Guess I’ll make a few more panels.
Saint Prodigy
19 in x 22 in progress shot of “Saint Prodigy” from my limited series called “Patron Saints of Hip-Hop” can’t wait to finish this up build a custom rococo frame and get some prints made.
Larger Version
Of Darwin w/ his finches hanging in the annex of Core New Art Space through May 26th.
Patron Saints of a Hip-Hop
Late last night
starting working on a study for a new painting.
Prospector
When work is slow draw a sad prospector guy on neon paper.
Mary Murphy Mine
Something New
On the easel.
Playing around with oil paint and some new ideas for 2019.
Exquisite Corpse
For and exquisite corpse project with the Brooklyn Art Library.
Made in America
It’s late but here’s the write up for my last exhibition with Core New Art Space, much love to Westword and Khaleel Herbert for the awesome write up (link at bottom.)
Click_Bait on Artsy
Couple of my paintings made it into an online exhibition with Dab Art LA on Artsy with the physical publication being added to the LACMA research library - so at least some of my work will last until the sun consumes the earth in a few million years. Link to the rest of the awesome art: https://www.artsy.net/show/dab-art-click-bait
It’s been one of those days
Where you draw a little kid launching a hellfire missile from a reaper drone.
Poking Holes
in the fabric of the American dream. First panel of a diptych study examining how the over prescription of opioid pain killers lead the use of heroin. Might paint it again but 6’ x 6’ someday...
Cause and Effect
or things that would be way cooler 8’ x 8’ or painting stuff no one wants in their house since 1984.
Panel One
Cause:
this would look pretty bad if I did it on an larger scale, somewhere around 8 ft x 8 ft. Maybe if I get in to one of these residencies I’ll be able to pull it off.
Progress
This photo got kind of washed out since it’s overcast here in Denver - but all I have left is to finish painting the embroidered stars and some interference orange to make the edges of the flames appear translucent. It’s taking almost a month of working in my free time on this painting. 2018 has been strange in America. A sitting president is under criminal investigation investigation yet continues to peddle lies, propaganda, conspiracy theories, and disinformation to discredit the investigation. The republican lead congress just sits by and does nothing as he attacks the free press. The worst part is people still believe him, and he has support among conservative groups. This is utter insanity.
