Saw the Mad Caddies last night and now I am all amped up and listening to them again, and drawing stereos all over the place. Nothing better than some punk rock to get your art going.

Happy Sunday

Anyone who knows me very well would tell you that I am not a big fan of using razors. In fact, I don’t think I’ve actually used a razor in about three years now. So, of course I am planning a show of nothing but men shaving……

It’s like Leatherface or something.

I love cabbie hats. They get a bad rap because too many people think they are beatnicks and wear them backwards and try to wax poetic on you. But in the truest form of old man wearing a hat, I love cabbie hats.

So I was planning on taking a nap before I went to see a movie tonight, but I couldn’t fall asleep so I read a couple comics and then I started to doodle. God I love Batman. Anyway I’ve started(at least in my head) a series of people waiting for PT. Public transit that is, and I think it is going to be really cool. I actually haven’t really done paintings of people in a good ten months so it feels new and exciting. I will post some of the new stuff as it goes up. I think there is also going to be an entire show of men shaving…..

We’ll see.

So I was listening to Sonic Youth tonight and finally started to get my groove back after those last two shows. Shows can really kill your creative spark for a little while afterward. I guess everybody needs a vacation, but tonight I was going off on these little birds in the pipes. This is part of a much larger sketch but I didn’t feel like scanning something in in parts tonight. Maybe sometime later.

I love this piece. I hope everyone out there does too. This was the first piece that I thought of carving so much negative space into, so it was kind of a landmark for me as well. If you like this one, I am also working on one titled “No one not even the rain has such delicate hands”, with similar subject matter which will be up in a couple weeks, either on the revamped site or on the blog. That title is based on an EE Cummings poem.

The title of this piece was just a play on the Dunkin’ Donuts add. I don’t know if anyone out here understoood it anyway. I haven’t seen a Dunkin’ Donuts since maybe Minnesotta or Illinois.

Yesterday my lady friend and I drove to Astoria and picked up a bunch of my paintings from the Lunar Boy Gallery. I still have a wall up in the back if anyone is interested, but either way I thought that I would show people a couple of the pieces a few at a time on the blog. So here is the second piece.

It’s Called “The Patch Job”

So here’s an actual finished painting. It will eventually be up on the website but right now the website is in the process of being redesigned, so I will just throw up a painting on the blog every now and again.

hope you like it.

Just a quick sketch of a bird pressing play. Birds like jam boxes right?

Mr. Bot and his little friend are pretty much my favorite two subjects. They just keep popping up all over the place.

This is kind of a sandwichboard from the future. I think that I am going to use it for a promo in the near future. Let me know if you want a postcard with this image on it.

This machine started as a machine carrying around stereo equipment but eventually I decided that it should be a cloud constructor.

here’s another sketch more along the lines of the cloud constructor pieces. It’s actually for a final painting which is going to be pretty much huge. As can be seen mountains are being added to natural construction projects.
