As I may or may not have mentioned before, it looks like I post more paintings in progress to http://mlkshk.com/user/mhectic than in the here. And that’s cool.

I’ve been uploading photos of in-progress paintings to http://mlkshk.com/user/mhectic lately, so the blog has been slacking a bit. But anyway, here’s a painting in progress this month:

A collection of small acrylic paintings I’ve been working on lately. Of course they’re still in progress!

Here are some iterations of my Bordo Bello skateboard paintings.

This is done and DONE. And I’m pretty sure it still looks like this:
