Just finished this piece, it's for my nephew Connor. (good thing no one actually checks this out, it might ruin the surprise) I sure hopes he likes tigers as much as I do. Every time I paint orange pieces I have the hardest time with the paint. I just don't get it. Or understand why I keep putting myself through the anguish of painting things orange.
Just finished this piece Cameron told me i should do. Eventually i'll give it to the guys over there. I've only been a few times but this place rocks! I have two of the ceramic rum barrels that the drinks come in. Someday i'll get a set of four!

i read Chuck's blog on thursday and was completely bummed. Kazu Sano one of my many favorite teachers passed away. I consider myself blessed to have gotten to take a class from him. to have seen his originals in absolutely stunning glory. i would reach class super early and ask him about his week, how he was feeling, what projects he was working on, how agents worked anything i could. i was lucky that i was a bigger guy, and not in a hurry to leave class right after and countless times got to carry his works to his car and get a ride up to market st. He was an amazing person, that went out of his way to help us all. thank you Chuck for letting me take his class. his impact has and will always have a resounding resonance. r.i.p. Kazu...
I got the book A Sketchy Past art of Peter de Seve book the other day his work is so amazing. I was blown away with his artwork and was trying to figure out what kind of paper or surface he paints on because you cant really see the texture of the watercolor paper like i see in my stuff. So I was experimenting with some new types of surfaces. This was done on watercolor illustration board.
That's what my nephew Bryce said when he first saw the sketch of this painting I did for him. He asked me really sweetly last year if I could draw him in a rocket ship, so I did.
Hi haven't posted inna bit have a bunch to show. I got an iPhone this week and this is a pic I took with it of the painting I did for my work check presenter. Not too bad of quality.
