It Would Be A Lot Easier For Me To Hurt You If You Would Throw The First Punch

This drawing seemed to take forever to complete but I am happy with what I've done. It's the ultimate standoff of meekness.

this is the part of the movie where things start to get worse

2009-01-26T16:37:00.000-08:00

the good thing to do is to turn and run from the scary branches. don't got messing where you ought not to be messing.

It May Always Be A Choice Between One Utter Or The Other

this is how the finished piece turned out. its three panels measuring #0" each at the diameter in oil pastel.

Here are some photos of the installation I just completed with Amy Rice. Wouldn't you like to live here?

the final oil pastel ends likes this

So then I made these

2008-06-17T09:33:00.000-07:00

The next step in getting ready for the show is to take elements from the drawings which will serve as anchors for the space and reproduce and manipulate the primary shapes and objects into patterns to be printed onto to fabrics, like these.

Tragedy Is AN Old Family Freind II

2008-06-16T11:02:00.000-07:00

much better now.

Number Two Of Four

2008-06-05T10:03:00.000-07:00

This is the second of four new drawings, the first being the rooster, which will be part of a show I am doing with Amy Rice this coming september featuring a combination of drawings and sculptural elements in familiar environments so that you can have a chance to literally be in one of my portraits if you have the moxie to take it on. anyway this one is called, "Tragedy Is An Old Family Friend".

the rooster boosters are dissapointed again

2008-05-07T09:40:00.000-07:00

why does that rooster have to let them down so often? doesn't he care at all anymore?

little red rooster

hey ma! the rooster got caught up in the laundry again!

I'm unloading my love like a bloated camel

2008-04-29T08:23:00.000-07:00

i opted to forgo the fluer d' rag pattern to emphasize the clunky arrangements of the camels. i think the end result is much more dramatic and interesting.

this is the new one that i am working on now. as i said earlier, it is moving away from the figure towards the larger shapes with block lettering. i'm liking how it is going and starting to imagine how pieces might look on a larger scale or with several hung as a multiple. the thing i wonder about there is presentation, frames get in the way of continuous panels. any way, the pattern in the background is called fluer de rag.
