Here are some sketches for some new paintings-


I’ve been really into self-portraits this semester. My apologies.

Also: some people have been asking about the size of the big-ass portrait of Maggie. So, to give you a sense of scale-

Check it! I’m working on an abstract figure sculpture. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

S’all about the hipbones, don’t you know!

Also, I cracked open my sketchbook for the first time in, like, 2 months, and here’s what happened:

It’s a preliminary sketch for a sequence of four drawings I should be done with by this Friday. Exciiiittiiinng!

Daaaang, I keep forgetting to bring home my monster drawing to scan. Shoot! I’ll really, really try to remember this week.

Ok!

Well, the Slurry Gecko idea was trashed. Slurry Gecko was replaced by the Man in the Moon. I’ll post him later.
For now, check out the underpainting for a 32″ x 40″ oil painting I’m working on. Self Portrait in the Pickle Aisle!

Bellyrama!

I apologize for the lack of postings. I have been very busy. I have been away, at a special month-long seminar held by the brilliant “Countess von Shoulderpads.” Watch the video below for details.

Check back in a couple weeks for information about the gunky black SLURRY GECKO. They live in the abandoned coal mines of Appalachia. The Slurry Gecko is the love-child of coal mine slurry and Mountain Dew. You know how when you mix egg yolks with lime juice there’s a chemical reaction and you get key lime pie? It’s like that, except instead of getting a delicious dessert whose preparation won’t overheat your house in the summertime, you get… a large, eyeless salamander that’s covered in a sticky, tar-like substance and lives on heavily polluted water filled with human excrement!

Take care!

Did I ever post this?
