I was very pleased that for January 26 my painting “(Self Portrait) Black Eye” was chosen by Paint It Britain as their painting of the day. It is 5.5×8.5 Watercolor & Paper.
Month: January 2020

This is 9×12 Multi-Media Paper & Watercolor. It is spiral bound but not perforated which means every piece must carefully be cut out of the book with an exacto knife.
I sought to capture the merging of public & private emotions that played upon the face in this piece.
Last Night We Were In Beta
I do not often work in large scale. I do like to try new things and keep the juices flowing with occasional experimentation.
This piece is 20×30. I did it in old school fashion, utilizing scissors & glue sticks on a cardboard box. Some of images are photos I took myself then printed off multiple copies of to cut up.
I am very pleased w/the results.
Cinema
Regardless of subject matter, I always like my work to give the sensation of the viewer as voyeur to something.
If you take footage of someone, whether they are crying, laughing even just talking, looking at the action one frame at a time the face distorts. There is a difference, sometimes drastic, from how it looked even a few frames beforehand. A neck will swell out, the nose seems of a different shape. The difference can be markedly different, each frame going towards forming a crowd of people who look similar but not exact as can occur within a family.
I decided to do a short series of 3 panels each 9×12 sequentially of a scene. I achieved the effect of what I was viewing.
End of Year
Last drawing of ’19. New Year’s Eve.
“You cool?”
“I’m cool baby.”
“Cool??”
“Like Miles at the Isle Wight Festival.”
The sirens screamed but now it was not a song for me.
