Stephen Gammell Art

Holy crap, I think I just finally discovered that artwork that really freaked me out back in grade school. By Stephen Gammell:

Recently, I’ve been content to just think that artwork was from Michael Whelan, on account of this piece:

Which was, of course, the cover art for a classic Obituary album:

All These Locations

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

Roy-Gee-Biven

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

In The Justin Brancato Style

Yes, The Justin Brancato style.

High Res Read Head Painting

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).

Moving Next Door

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

  

Blobbs Drawings

Here is where I test an image upload.
