The second worst disguised lizard person after that time Rudy Giuliani started melting during a press conference.

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.
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.
Photoshop 1.0
Or a #2 pencil drawing and a copy machine.
Patron Saints of a Hip-Hop
Prospector
When work is slow draw a sad prospector guy on neon paper.
Exquisite Corpse
For and exquisite corpse project with the Brooklyn Art Library.
It’s been one of those days
Where you draw a little kid launching a hellfire missile from a reaper drone.
The upside
Of no one really caring about your work is it free’s you up to create stuff that will probably piss people off!
Sketchbook
I’ve always said a sketchbook is the best weapon in an artists arsenal, this is how I use mine in the planing stage
Well Hello 2018
Under drawing for my first painting of 2018 - five hours deep mixing Denver from my childhood with the real celebrities.
Research Sketches
I’ve spent more time on researching historic photos, and pouring over microfilm, than I have and actually painting. Juxtaposing Denver from my childhood with contemporary or historic images is eating up a ton of time. Hopefully the 43 percent of Colorado natives will appreciate the time and effort I’m putting into my 2018 exhibition. Here’s a few preliminary sketches but stay tuned for more weirdness and lost places of Colorado history.
Plans for 2018
Pretty much every painting I do these days starts out as a quick thumbnail. Here’s one for my 2018 exhibition. The Rocky Mountain News was the morning paper here in Denver and was always the better of the two. Shout out to the Denver Native life.
Re-contextualizing
Greco-roman sculpture through selective deconstruction or ish that would look bad ass in super large scale.
2018 Ideas
Start with the Mobil Gas Pegasus, flesh it out some so it looks like a actual horse - then get to work on the details of making a painting.
Overworked
Overworked the hand on the last painting so it's on the back burner while I stretch a new canvas. Luckily I have this to work on too.
It's Always the Pieces
You actually like that sell.
Work, Work, Work
Freehand paint tube. Hopefully Golden Paints will send me a free tee shirt or sponser a show.
Usually Found In
My pocket. Looks like I need to paint a pack of smokes and some Black Cat firecrackers!
