Finished: Flight From The Trench

This is a 16 x 16 inch painting I did today as a test for the 7 large scale paintings I'm doing for Halloween at Eye Level Art. It's completely reductive in approach.

In the Works: Dia De Los Muertos Altar

Here is part of the frame in an early state of the work I'm doing for the Dia De Los Muertos show at Gallery 57 on November 1st. It's tentatively going to be called 'Our Lady Of The Perpetual Apocalypse.' More to come.

On The Easel: 'Peckerwood'

This is my homage to Stanley Kubrick who had an obsession with Woody Woodpecker. There's not much more to do on it, just some background wall work, shadows and some finishing of the rotten wood post.

On The Easel: 'Harper' Commission

Here's a commission I've been working on of a little girl named Harper. It's nearly finished. Just a bit more work on the hands, face and hair.

Lock-In Interview

Miss JJ took this clip and was kind enough to post it. You can see just how out of it I was at the Lock-In. I'm out of town checking things out in the North East at the moment. See you soon.

Studio 57 at Gallery 57

Super fun Disco themed party at Gallery 57 at 57 Chapel Street. 9 pm on Saturday. Check out the sexy painting I'll have there. Picture to come soon! DJ's, lightshow, alc, and art. Charlie McAlister and Matt Foreman round the show out.

Rorschach Artists 1

These are four of the paintings I created during the Lock-In a week ago. They're mostly of the artists that participated in the event. From top to bottom they are Spike Kittrell (painter), Mike Elder (gallery owner), Laura Olsen (photographer), and Joanna Jackson (jackess of trades). They're acrylic on canvas, one foot square.

On The Easel: 'Playing Prey,' nearly done

Got most of the background laid in today. Letting it dry before distressing it and then finishing the feet/pedestal and that's it.

Sleepers!

Steven, Chris and Anson steal some sleep and make out like bandits.

Lock-In Shots

Here are a few shots from throughout the night. That's not dusk at the top, that's dawn. Bennett working on 'DeconstrucTABLE.' Shelley hard at work. View of the gallery and a smalls stack of some of the work I made.

The LOCK IN Was A Great Success!

This was my view of Eye Level Art 103 all night long on Friday. 20 artists and 20 hours. Hundreds of pieces of art were made. Final total for myself: 53 watercolors and 12 paintings. Props to the others who made it through all 20 hours without a wink of sleep. Everyone did awesome!

Talking To AMHS Students At The Circular Congregational Church

This is a video taken by Junius Wright at the Circular Congregational Church for the show She Shall Be Called Woman. The sound is a little difficult to hear but you may be able to make out some of what I had to say about the 'Repositions Of The Virgin' painting.

On The Easel: Supermen

Nearly finished, and well under deadline. Rah! I know, it's still a mystery, just wait and details will soon trickle in.

Art Lock In Preview!

Check it out everyone and be sure to be there on the 19th!
