Front Door painting

I got commissioned to paint the front door to someone's house recently. I thought it was a little odd but took the gig regardless. Here's a few shots of the work, shortly after completion.

New Print Released - Growth Hormone Disaster

I've just released my newest print, "Growth Hormone Disaster" in the online store. This drawing, a futuristic interpretation of a growth hormone experiment gone bad on the downtown streets (of my hometown) of Petaluma, California, once known as the "Chicken Capital of the World".

This is a very limited run of 50 prints.

Size: 11" x 14".

Printed with Archival Inks on Acid Free Velvet Cotton Rag. Each print is hand signed and numbered by the artist.

Limited Edition Postcards Now Available

In conjunction with the show "Postcards From the Subconscious" in Portland, Oregon, I have created a series of six, limited edition postcards of selected pieces in the show. Each pack of six is hand signed and numbered through 250.

On the backs of the cards is one/sixth of a graphic I created. Put all six together to create one large image (kind of like what Garbage Pail Kids did back in the day). Each card is 4x6 and would look great in a small frame to hang on a wall in your home or office.

A small amount of sets were saved to sell online to people who could not attend the show. These will go quickly and at the price of $5.00, I suggest not waiting too long.

Postcards from the Subconscious

Lately, I've been having some weird dreams... Weirder than usual.

Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat, wondering why I just walked around my neighborhood, covered in what appears to be blood. Other nights, I'm being chased by a giant rooster or I've been trapped on a floating island of skyscrapers. In a therapeutic attempt to rescue my brain from the subconscious, I started recreating these scenes on paper and canvas, which really just made it worse because now I sit in my studio and obsessively stare at my bad dreams.

Thursday, October 1st, I'm going to unleash my newest works on the unsuspecting city of Portland, Oregon. Blacklist Gallery is the place to be on this First Thursday art walk. Join me for an exciting evening of drinks, music and art.

Exclusively for this night, I have created a series of six, limited edition postcards of selected pieces in the show. Each pack of six is hand signed and numbered.

Come through, say hi, kick me in the shins. If you can't make it to the show but have friends in Portland, please help spread the word.
