Gallery 788 Show

It just got real.  Beginning this Thursday, November 4th, I will be displaying my latest work at Gallery 788 in Pigtown.  Located at 788 Washington Blvd., two blocks from MLK, Gallery 788 is a cool little spot with an edgy vibe consistent across it's monthly shows.  The month of November is a group show without a theme, so I expect there to be a wide variety of subject matter and media used. ...

Series #009 completed in 2010Media: Acrylic and Canson Paper on CanvasSize: 15" x 30"Collection of June Marshall Though this was not my first comissioned piece, it was certainly the most specific and challenging in terms of the subject matter.  My Aunt June, a big fan of the arts, asked me to compose a piece that represented her three favorite venues in New York City.  Architectural elements from the...

Artdromeda Recap

I really enjoyed participating in Artdromeda last weekend.  Met some cool people and got great responses from everyone I talked to about my work.  There was a wide range of artistic styles and a variety of music as well.  Definitely a unique mix of people, but it worked.  I look forward to going back next year. Big ups to all my friends and family that came to see it.  As this was my first show,...

Sleuth

Series #007 completed in 2010 Media:  Acrylic and Canson Paper on Canvas Size:  20" x 28" Collection of Michael DeGrandis - In high school, it was noted that Mike was generally big, slow, and kinda lazy.  These traits were eventually defined as "characteristics of a sloth."  Thus, his nickname was born.  As is the case with many nicknames, it progressed and evolved into the current version...

Marlin

  Series #005 completed in 2009 Media:  Acrylic and Dark Papyrus on Canvas Size:  24" x 24" Commissioned by Chris Perrini - Soooooo Chris asked me to whip something up for him back in the Fall.   I did.  It's now February and he still hasn't picked it up.  In fact, he might be seeing it now for the first time!  Anyways, I was at the art store and came across a selection of crazy...

Watley

  Series #006 completed in 2009 Media:  Acrylic and Dark Papyrus on Canvas Size:  12" x 24" Collection of Adrienne Gregorio - Traditionally, I've never been much of a cat person.  I grew up with a dog and never had any friends or family with a cat.  At least not that I can remember.  Over the last few months I've gotten to know one Bengal cat in particular pretty well.  Mr. Watley,...

Raven In Flight

  Series #004 completed in 2009Media:  Acrylic and Printed Canson Paper on Canvas Size:  12" x 24" Collection of Scott Zielinski - After I completed a few paintings and established somewhat of a style, people that came through my house began to take notice of them and give me some props.  At some point, in addition to the comments, I began to get some suggestions and requests.  The first of which...

Core

Series #003 completed in 2009 Media:  Acrylic and Newsprint on Canvas Size:  16" x 20" Artist's Collection - Simply put, this is my take on a section through planet Earth.  It shows the various layers of crust and central core seemingly off kilter and out of balance.  Its pretty wild to think of the magma core and intense forces happening beneath our feet.  The first three paintings I've posted...

Angler

Series #002 completed in 2009 Media:  Acrylic and Newsprint on Canvas Size:  16" x 20" Artist's Collection - I have always been fascinated by nature and all the living things that inhabit it.  One really cool creature is the Angler Fish.  This fish has adapted to develop a glowing appendage which it uses as lure to attract its dinner.  How cool is that?  Anyways, this is my representation...

Birch

Series #001 completed in 2009 Media:  Acrylic and Newsprint on Canvas Size:  16" x 20" Artist's Collection - This was my first formal painting in a while.  Over the last few years I have completed a pretty intricate Beer Pong table and constructed a custom trellis, but have not painted on canvas probably since High School.  My inspiration for the tree came from typical section graphics used by...
