Shit like this is why I’m always late to the day jorbz. That’s a Roy-to-the-Gee-to-the-Biv.

Alright, I guess I’ll try to sell these Red Head paintings (6″x8″ / Fredrix canvas board / $30 each, Ms. or Mr. Intelligent Art Collector). I’ve been getting into high-resolution detail views lately, so check out the stupid-ridiculous-big-assed version (5mb or so).

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:

Bustin’ out the paint this weekend after a lengthy hiatus. Here’s another post about a painting in progress. This time it’s for the AIGA Heart Art Auction 2011.

It’s a long story, but this month I’ll be moving to the next door apartment. This is weird and also convenient. So now I’ve got six months of rental time to find a permanent condo or something, hopefully.

Things noticed so far during the move

• Too many goddamned paintings

  

• The paint-catcher canvas what saved me from many rental fees and fines

  

Here are two fairly recent exhibition photos:

• Open Wall at The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art

  January 22, 2010

  

• Bordo Bello Skateboard Art Fundraiser

  December 11, 2009

  

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.
