Animal Stampede Forecast

If you haven't already, enjoy unique scenes of the city at Wonderland SF!


This show will soon be replaced by new art (title hint for the next show). Get up close to the actual paintings there and see what cannot be captured by the photograph! Get a sense of the actual size and scale of the art there, totally worth it!

There are many other things to see too including fashion and jewelry from creative local designers, books, and art prints!

New Names

I went ahead and renamed all city lights and candy city images. It got a bit boring naming the images all the same and with numbers. Search for your favorite painting and check out new and exciting titles!

A Few Days to Finish a Few Dozen Things

Exactly as the title says.

Here is a detail shot of one of the paintings I am finishing up.

The disadvantage to viewing art online is you cannot really get up close to look at the brush strokes and textures. I might just start posting detail shots of various paintings. As always, you can click on the image and then click again to zoom in for a better look.

In the future, computers will have a hologram option that will enable viewers to see the whole actual painting and rotate it 3-dimensionally so that the textures can accurately be portrayed... one day...

Plastic Sleeves for Prints

When I am not painting or drawing, I package prints or work on hobbies, or other side projects.


The plastic sleeves I use are 8.5 x 11 inches and fit my prints perfectly. Most of the time. Until I get a package of sleeves that are a quarter inch off! What the hell, a quarter inch is a significant measurement difference!!!

It is supposed to look like this:

Not this:

At least it is a quarter inch too big, and not too small. But still, really!?!?So I just adjusted the size of the mat board and it looks fine.

Watch out for that...

By the way, prints make a great gift! The holidays are coming up ;-)

Attack of the Palette Knife

Apparently you can slice your finger pretty bad with a round tip palette knife.
Got enough blood to paint a face of utter dissatisfaction. I won't lie- the eyes are my blood, but the mouth is actually red sharpie.
