On Holiday this week, sorry no update... hopped a flight to Chicago.
Happy Holidays!
12/30 update: taking the New Year's week off from blogging, too. Be back in '06 with new projects.

The piece on the right is around 8.5x11 or so. It's done on a piece of masonite that would normally serve as the backing for a clip-type photo frame. You can see the four slotted cut-outs where the clips would normally catch.
Black on black:
1. Layer of gesso, the text (a Mclusky lyric) was drawn into the wet gesso with the handle of a brush. I know you can’t really see that in the scan of it.
2. Various black markers and acrylics for the other elements...
3. Reinforcement of the text with a ballpoint.

Revision, revision, revision.
We've got crosses on our eyes...these are mini-paintings in case you forgot.
New stuff, but not just yet.

Been doing some acrylic painting lately. Stenciling has sorta gone by the wayside for a bit, but that's OK. These things evolve right? The stencil will come into play I think, but may not be as much of a focus. Who knows though, I may change my mind about that next week. So over on the right is a very recent piece. It's a acrylic, posca (giant paint marker), sharpie and pencil. It's done on a 12x12 inch floor tile. Here's a earlier stage of the underpainting.
And here's a closer shot. You can see the pencil work better in this image and the color is more true life in this one.
Oh and I mentioned two posts ago that I'd sent my submission to the I <3 BeerMats show. Well that site has been updated and my work can be seen alongside a bunch of truly amazing indie artists. Go take a peek at the work- looks like a great show.
