Drawings Started While Flying – NYC to DEN

Just did these in the ol’ sketchbook last night and will most likely elaborate on at least three of them.

April Show at Ozo Coffee, Arapahoe Location

I’ve got a show up at Ozo Coffee’s Arapahoe Location (http://goo.gl/maps/lSBdr) til the end of April.

Some photos

Ooh, a quick flyer:

My First Spray-Paintering

Here are some photos of a recent spray-paint project for my cousin in San Francisco.

This was a fun project. I’m down for getting more practice at this crazy medium.

Some Old Acrylic Paintings got Varnished

Large Black and White Abstract

I left a large abstract painting with some random dude* at my last job in Iowa before moving to Colorado four years ago. Here’s the painting on his office wall, I believe.

*Please note: Ben Dillon.

Collection of Ben Dillon.

Pank Shirt Portraits of Jake Sutton

Here’s a wall photo graciously sent to me by the one @jakesutton.

I painted some pank shirt portraits, and the progress photos are over here in “This Jake Sutton Character”.

Collection of Jake and Heather Sutton.

You Are All Assholes – Drawing Near Another Sutton Wall

Just grabbed this one from @jakesutton tonight via https://twitter.com/jakesutton/status/289933129215537152/photo/1

This is a drawing from 2008.

Collection of Jake and Heather Sutton.

Skull again, thankfully

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

And Then Tonight’s Encaustic Painting in Progress

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

And now here’s the whole gang so far:

And Some More Encaustic Paintings in Progress

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.

This Jake Sutton Character

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.

These Old Skull Paintings

I just pulled these out with the intention of painting over them, but upon further inspection I’m not certain what to do with them. Sure it’s impractical to own two gigantic paintings of skull faces, but y’all are rich.

Oh crap I have detail views

And then I varnished them

These paintings are reversible

Big Ole Paintings Submitted to a Juried Show

This show is at Pirate in Denver. It’s a juried show, so I have no idea if I’ll get in. But take a look at these old 36″x48″ paintings I need to show more often and ultimately sell for $700 of MONEY.

Employee Knowledge

Satan Eat My Spleen

Goddamn Tornado

More Encaustic Paintings in Progress

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.

First Encaustic Painting – In Progress

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

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

Day of the Dead Show at Pirate Gallery in Denver

Here’s a snapshot of my painting at tonight’s show at Pirate in Denver:

Here’s an old post of the painting in progress.

Oh weird, here’s a photo of the painting from the local weekly:

Here’s the image in full slideshow context.

Bordo Bello 2012 Paintings

Hey, I found a photo of my boards at the actual Bordo Bello show this summer.

Here’s a cropped version of an event photo from Wink Inc & AIGA Colorado:

Yes, I know I painted these on the “wrong” side of the board, but that was because it looked like there was some trouble hanging at the first show I participated in. I see now that they’ve got a solution for that with the wood strips.
