this was poorly planned

I've felt frustrated lately because there are some paintings that I started that just didn't seem to work, no matter what I did. So I partially covered over them and here's how they look now.

if this is the life

The opening reception went really well! Here are some photos of the gallery. The paintings themselves can be viewed on my website.

words that seem so out of place

Yesterday it snowed so I put some paint on a panel and put it out in the snow. Here's the result. I don't know quite what it'll turn into. We'll see.

i'm not a skillful water carrier

we're fated to pretend

I've been spending my vacation time recovering from the semester, painting for my show and working on fun projects that I didn't have time for before. Such as this!

I love those guys. Check out their internet show at tallyhall.com, it's quite amusing.

(process video here.)

or something like that

2008-12-02T21:47:00.000-08:00

Yaaaagh! Please bear with me...I know I haven't been posting much. I've been terribly busy with a lot of paintings and commissions. But I'll be back soon. In the meantime, enjoy another process video.

don't break your back

I've been commissioned to do a painting of conquerors through the ages, in the layout of 'Lunchtime Atop a Skyscraper'. Here's some progress!

My pencil layout, gone over with pen.

Wintergreen transfer onto panel, and again gone over with pen.

Shadows and details.A bit of spot color.

i never thought it would be this clear

2008-11-14T20:47:00.000-08:00

By request of the owner of this painting, now there are words! It's still drying.

A good (although far-away) friend.

i said i love

2008-11-06T18:00:00.000-08:00

Hi. Here are two new rain paintings I've started.

And a work in progress.

And some good friends!

i wish that old sun would rise

2008-10-27T21:37:00.000-07:00

It's almost Halloween! Here's a pair of scary portraits.

when no one sees me

2008-10-09T12:57:00.000-07:00

I have some things to show you! Here is Phoenix.

And here is Strawberry, framed.

rods and cones

2008-10-08T17:39:00.000-07:00

Well! Here is some art I was asked to make for our theater department, for posters and promo.

And here's how the poster turned out!

ready

2008-10-02T21:43:00.000-07:00

This is the start of a new painting.

new sky

2008-09-28T19:23:00.000-07:00

Hey there! This is a commissioned portrait. I'm a little nervous about this, it's going to be a prop for a stage production.

save you from

2008-09-14T14:34:00.000-07:00

I want to live in a forest, in a tree and be surrounded by green all the time.

Maybe I'll go to Ireland.

venture

2008-09-08T19:54:00.000-07:00

Abstract! It's something brand new to me.

all of your brain

2008-08-26T17:43:00.000-07:00

This has gone through several more iterations of ballpoint pen and white-out.

you say you see straight through me

2008-08-23T12:37:00.000-07:00

What, a monocle.

one-minute showdown

2008-08-20T21:59:00.000-07:00

I promise at some point I'll post less portraiture and more other things...but for now I'm addicted to these.

I'm glad for my friends becase they wear great hats and make silly faces.

Here is a silly video! It's me drawing jessie. You can see my nonsensical, messy process of drawing.

overcome

2008-08-14T21:40:00.000-07:00

Another good friend.

Two new sketches for two new paintings.

and now, with rage

2008-08-13T21:27:00.000-07:00

Here is a thing.

This one is done.

And grr!

greens

2008-08-11T23:08:00.000-07:00

More good friends...and a Jayne hat.

all in vain

2008-08-07T20:55:00.000-07:00

This is the direction that face that I drew before is going.

this is why i always wonder

2008-08-05T20:51:00.000-07:00

The coasters are finished! It was really fun working on them.

multicolored

2008-08-03T14:19:00.000-07:00

The coasters are getting there.

Here's another good friend.

progress

2008-08-02T14:45:00.000-07:00

I was bored at work, so I photocopied this sketch and used sharpie, ballpoint pen and white-out on it.

The coasters are coming along nicely.

something about you is

2008-08-01T18:25:00.000-07:00

Good friends.

Here are some things I made a few months ago.

And some more digital doodles.
