Changes are Interesting!

Because the galleries on my website have recently changed to a slideshow format, I have rearranged the order of my work to show the newest and latest painting as the opening image. This is only for the Concrete and Concept galleries. This way, you would not have to keep clicking to get to the latest piece, and also, you can check back and see any changes made right away! Changes are interesting!

New cityscapes and drawings just done and over with, and more to come.

Yes, changes are interesting. Once in a while I love to sketch in ballpoint pen. And I like to sketch wood grain.

Warhol Again!

I just realized I am a couple months late in sharing the painting that I did for the Warhol Reimagined show.

If you missed the show, click here where you can view a slide show of the opening.

I did a piece inspired by Andy Warhol's Cream of Mushroom Soup.


It is called "Suillushake" and the medium is acrylic paint on board. Not sure when I will add this to my website yet; I am still deciding how much it will fit in/ stand out in my "concept" series because I don't have many pieces in there associated with brand name food products. We will see...

There were so many great artists there:

Check out the factory artists!
Check out the soup can artists!

Golden Ratios

Thought I would share with you another silkscreen print I did.

I really like this one, but unfortunately, it does not fit in with my other prints as a cohesive body of work. The image is inspired by the golden ratio found in life and nature.

There are two versions of this. The one with the red nautilus shell is an edition of seven, while the purple nautilus shell one is an edition of two.

Acrylic Inks on Paper

okay... I just uploaded some silkscreened works on paper

It's in my Oddball Portfolio

Stuff Happened

Damn! Have not posted for a while! Knew that I would slack off sometime.

First, the Portals and Peepholes show was awesome! Like stepping into another world! In case you missed it, here are photos from the event.

Well a lot has happened. I don't feel like going into detail about it today, so here is a summary of topics to talk about in near future posts (and by "near" I mean within the next week or so):

• Chromagination and Chromagination Book Release Party in San Francisco
  
• Open Studios
• Urban-Muse

Good stuff there; check out the websites!

Anyway, still tending to the body farm (click on "death" under labels) on my balcony, I am reminded of an old bronze sculpture I did a couple years ago. Uglinteresting piece of work.

I don't know how clearly the shapes read, but it is basically an abstract female body with a hand in place of her head, holding a staff with feet at one end, and the second hand at the top of the staff, holding a cage. The cage has her face as the base.



Inside the cage are dove eggs. A dove has made a nest in a shrub of one of the plant boxes out there. The dove laid three eggs, only one egg did not survive and it was just one egg in the cage for a few months.

Then one day a dove (cannot verify it was the same dove) was back in the same nesting area, only this time, she was just keeping one egg warm. Unfortunately, that egg was abandoned due to an unintentional spook to the dove.

Now r.i.p two fetuses, birds that were to be, but never will, their spirits reside in an open birdcage, free to fly, free to come and go as they please.

So I guess technically, I have four small bodies....
