I started painting a skull amongst all the ongoing abstract madness.

This one involves COLLAGE. Collage pieces are from a House Industries mailer, I believe.

And now here’s the whole gang so far:

Here are some more encaustic paintings and iterations. Four on wood arranged annoyingly and one on plexiglass.

I’m still working on all these. This is a weird medium and I need more practice with the flame-thrower.

I received a certain motivation to start this excellent portrait of Jake Sutton.

Please note: The Sutton family are distinguished patrons, so they get bonus artwork.

I’m gonna need to work a bit on the FACE.

Gonna do a slight pink adjustment and after that: Fuck it, I’m varnishing these and they’re done.

These are very much varnished and done.

Here are some more encaustic paintings and iterations. Two on wood, one on plexiglass.

I’ll probably be working on these for at least a few more class sessions. This is a weird medium.

Some of these are looking like a fine cheese and tomato sauce so far. All delicious.

Checkemitout, here’s my first encaustic painting in progress.

1. Weird!
2. Painting with wax!
3. Jasper Johns!

It’s important to have a circular pattern in the background of your painting.

A circular pattern which resembles the roundness of purple jalapeño slices, goddamn olive slices, and perhaps some sushi rolls.

I’ve got this weird painting in progress, thanks to a certain noble patron of the arts. Thank you, Noble Patron.

I got my shadow all up into these images.
