Belated Krampus
Couple days late, but here’s the painted version of my krampus
Just in time
To drag bad children back to its creepy lair! More traditional sculpt of krampus before I start on a contemporary version.
Howdy Cowboy
different color way of a cowboy painting from my last show.

Mark Zuckerberg is
The second worst disguised lizard person after that time Rudy Giuliani started melting during a press conference.
Ashcroft Hotel
There’s a ghost town outside of Aspen called Ashcroft. During summers when I was a kid my family would go camping and explore old mine dumps, ghost towns and that like. So here’s a study of the old hotel in Ashcroft, but burning. You can check it out in person in the annex of Core New Art Space after checking out the awesome show by Michelle Lamb, Claudia Roulier, and Susie Biehl’s through November 7th.
Last One
Last Hunter S. Thompson Colorway for a while got a bunch of these 7x5” paintings framed and available in my webstore looking to move them ASAP.
The making of a Pumpkin Goblin
It’s like elf on the shelf but for when you want to terrify your kids!
If you
Never stuffed friends, cousins, siblings, in the trunk before going to the drive in, can you really call yourself a Coloradan?
It’s bigger than
Hip-hop, hip-hop!!! Couple little drawings I’ll be leaving somewhere in Denver today. Tributes to MF Doom and ODB. Why you may ask? Because I can. Posting hints on social so follow me @dead_elvis if yer interested.

Final Product
And here we have the fruits of my labor. Thought painting smaller would be faster- it’s not. Gotta add way more details for smaller paintings to look right.
Underdrawing
Layout for a slightly larger painting of Hunter S. Thompson. Kinda in love with multiples at the moment, exploring how my mood or the time of day I’m working on something can affect/effect my final painting. We’ll see how this on turns out.
Neon Lights
Mixed with Mount Bierstadt
Studies of Gonzo journalism
Few little 7 in x 5 in studies of Hunter S. Thompson:
Celebrity Sports Center
Bowling, giant water slides, a crazy arcade with animatronic Wild West shooting gallery? Yeah it was awesome. Thinking about doing an open edition of prints, let me know if that’s a good idea?
A Landscape
Or something adjacent to one. It’s been fun exploring this idea of Old Denver and how it’s always been a city of booms and busts and while I definitely feel like through the legalization of marijuana and now Covid-19 everything that made the city interesting has closed or been sold off while what remains has homogenized into a gross display of slot homes, nouveau-riche transplants, and chain stores. Definitely nostalgic for the days of dive bars, funky local owned boutiques.
Couple more new pieces
Last painting of 2020
First painting of 2021, Horace Tabor the “Silver King”
Sculpture experiment
finally figured out how to add a video to this thing, so here it is in all its creepy glory. Mixed media piece I’ve always wanted to do composed of polystyrene, epoxy, polymer clay, acrylic, human hair and of coarse a Chuck Taylor! Next time I should probably just cast the body part instead of sculpting.
