I want to live on the moon

Hey! I’m still alive. Over the last month or so my computer has been in a slow-motion self-destruct sequence. Every week, a new part would break. Seems like it’s settling down now, and I’m finally sort of back in working order. I will have a painting up in a group show next month based on [...]

Fought hard, died hard

I got my paintings put up at Caffe Moderne, and although it turned out well, it reminded me how much I need more practice in putting artwork up on walls. Practice I’d be willing to get! Also practice in less hammer-crushed fingertips.

Release me

For the second time in my life I find myself working three jobs. That’s why I haven’t been posting every day like I should. Hopefully by next week I’ll have things more settled. In the meantime, I have some progress photos – some paintings are the only thing I’ve been able to work on the [...]

Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record

Yesterday I did some cleaning up on the shaman, but not much drastic change on it, just detail work. To keep things from getting repetitive here, I’ll hold off on showing it more until it’s almost done.
Today I had a lot going on so I didn’t get anything drawn, but I will give you a [...]

Wasting the time with you

As mentioned on my site, I have some paintings up downtown for Wichita’s February Final Friday. Come out to The Anchor (on Douglas) tomorrow night for ‘Keeping Secrets’!
I wanted to share some neat videos I’ve watched recently:

This Tokyo skyline video (from Boooooooom!) is incredible. It feels like riding a train along the surface of some [...]

When he’s drinking he’s drowning some riot

Playing Mass Effect 2 has been taking up a fair amount of my spare time these last few days. I’m enjoying it a lot, especially all the stuff (both big and little) that carried over from the first one. Crazy. Also, I bought the space hamster.
Some painting progress, gotta get ready to show in a [...]

Prague radio

I had a blast in Chicago. I got to see one of Carvaggio’s paintings in person, which was amazing. I also got to visit some old favorites of mine…

Albright and Dali, my two loves.
Here are two new paintings I’ve begun, based on a dream that I had a few weeks ago in which I committed [...]

When did I fall apart?

Strata
I will be selling this painting on Ebay in order to raise funds for the relief effort in Haiti! My recent unemployment means I had to get creative with some fund-raising. This painting is quite large, at 2 feet by 3 feet. It hasĀ  a 2″ brown-black simple frame and has hanging wire installed.
Edit: Although [...]

The devil’s in the details

More progress! Working titles, in clockwise order from the top left one are: Brush Fire, Mother’s Grasp,Two Frames of Mind, and Life of the Poet.
I’ve been watching this anime, Natsume Yuujinchou, on and off for the last few weeks. I even did a bit of fanart for one of the main characters, Nyanko-sensei (Mr. Meow, [...]

Spare me your judgements and spare me your dreams

I’ve been getting a lot of work done in the last few days on several paintings. This one is almost finished, it just needs to rest a bit before I put the finishing touches on it.

Here is a mess of paintings (in various stages of completion) that have been waiting for months to be painted. [...]
