Sneak Peak

At the end of January I was accepted into a group show at 20th St. Gallery in Sacramento. Twenty-five 8 by 8 inch paintings by the end of March. Currently I have 18 paintings finished, which means 7 more to go. For this series of paintings I'm working with found objects. Also I've had to put my solo show paintings on hold until I finish these. I guess this year will be a busy one for me.

Learning Oils

Oil 6 by 6 inches

During the past month I've been preparing canvases and panels for an upcoming solo show in July. Currently there's a total of 26 surfaces prepared for me to paint on, so I've got to paint my ass off and see how far I get. This series will mainly focus on technique and how light falls on different surfaces. I'll post up more work in the coming months. In the meantime, here's a sneak peak on one of the paintings.

Screen Prints

So I decided to turn the drawing I did into a print. Two different color versions with an edition of 20 each.

New Drawing

I'm not sure what will become of this drawing I did today, maybe I'll screen print a shirt from it.

Small Painting

This small experiment was done on 300 lb. watercolor paper, the size is 3.5 by 5 inches. I've been experimenting with my materials to see what happens when there is no actual final image I need to complete. Some interesting textures happened by accident which would work great in future paintings. Most likely there will be more of these to come as I've cut five other pieces of paper this size and it's loads of fun.
