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.
Just grabbed this one from @jakesutton tonight via https://twitter.com/jakesutton/status/289933129215537152/photo/1
This is a drawing from 2008.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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:
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.
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.
I just started with these, so hopefully I can get ’em done by Sept 6. I will say that after about 10yrs of neglection, I finally understand the importance of gesso.
Yeah, I’m gonna have to be done now. Gotta drop these off tomorrow.
Here is what my “The Boss Will See You Now” painting looks like on Ol’ Yake’s other wall.

Here is what some of my acrylic paintings look like on Soups-and-Dan’s wall in Chicago.

It looks like most of the other paintings on the wall were done by none other than Betsy Lam herself.
Collection of Betsy Lam and Daniel Levengood.
