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.
Cowboy #1 primary triad
11 in x 8 in
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?
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.
Unsinkable
Molly Brown. I’ve always wanted to do some portrait paintings exploring historic Colorado. But updating them in a fun and contemporary way. Pretty pleased with the results.
Teaser. . .
For a thing I made.
Sketches for next few paintings
Wind Up Kong
Floating through space and time.
Appropriation of an appropriation
Ha ha, how meta.
I Forgot
How miserable it is painting realistic metal. But it’s coming along.
Photoshop 1.0
Or a #2 pencil drawing and a copy machine.
Update to “Made in America”
Added a few more visual references to my painting about mass shootings
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.
Late last night
starting working on a study for a new painting.
Mary Murphy Mine
Something New
On the easel.
Playing around with oil paint and some new ideas for 2019.
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.
