apple

my son helped me out a little with this one, and I'm a sucker for minimalism and the fine art of abstract spontaneity.

3D - work in progress

digression has lead me to explore an idea in 3D. starting with this torii, the first piece for the much larger landscape I have in mind. forgive the aliasing in the line quality, this is just a screen grab from the maya interface, not yet rendered, since I haven't figured out how I want to do that yet.

watercolor

Did this little sketch while the "subject" was watching tv tonight. medium: pencil, watercolor, and whiteout. (with a tiny bit of shameless last minute washes thrown in with painter IX using the watercolor and acrylic tools).

fish

too much pen makes the pencil jealous so I broke out the lead and put it to the paper. After months of sketchbook neglect I woke up in the middle of the night and thought I should draw some fish.

capricious print #1

these don't really feel done till I see them in print now... otherwise, its just a bunch of ones and zeros right? Here it is on newsprint.

capricious

In the works to come, I intend to use the visual language of the popular arts to create a series of prints in the spirit of Francisco Goya's "Los Caprichos". Starting with this one.
"The Black Heart Mother."

Capricious?

I fell asleep with the tv on the the other night. I barely remember but I kinda rolled up an eyelid halfway in the middle of the night and got a little bit of a newsclip about a some lady who was discovered to have a few dead fetus's of her own lying around her home in garbage bags and such. one under the sink counter of her bathroom or something like that. I don't know. I was half asleep, but I was very fucking disturbed. I shut the tv off and had a nightmare about it... I'm still disturbed by it all. But I drew this picture which I will soon put up in color... I like to think that when it is completed it will be remnant of Francisco Goya's "Saturn devouring his son.,"crossed with the many "Madonna and Child" paintings we've seen throughout the centuries. Anyway, I don't make the people. I just draw the pictures. I'm calling this one "The Black Heart Mother." check back for the color version soon.

take my hand. take it.

this idea started as a daydream about a year ago while I was driving. I did some really crappy thumbnail drawings of the "story" on some index cards back then, and now a year later I decided to revisit the idea and turn it into this. enjoy!
