Egg Face Painting

This painting is totally in progress.

Paintings at Falbo’s Pizzeria, Fort Collins

Took the day off work today and coincidentally, my friend Luke’s pizza place (Falbo’s Pizzeria, Fort Collins) was closed for electrical work. So I finally hung up some paintings. Thanks, Luke!

Addition of Googly Eyes

Eyeball enhancements are always excellent.

Mixed Too Much Yellow

Last weekend I mixed way way way too much yellow, so I’m using it tonight before busting out the reds and blues and so forth.

Panel Project

Three panels in progress for Kevin Kooyman’s Panel Project in Iowa.

Heart Art 2012 Painting

Built this one up on top of an old painting that recently fell out of my favor. I’ve put three layers onto it so far, and I believe it is due tomorrow (Monday), so it should be done tonight.

2. Step 2

4. Step 4

   

Acrylic on stretched canvas, .75 inches deep. 11 inches wide and 12 inches tall. Ready to hang.

This painting will be available via silent auction at Heart Art Denver this Thursday.

Update: Got word from a coworker that the painting was auctioned for $75. And that’s cool.

Circley Paintings

Just throwin’ some circles into the backgrounds of some paintings.

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.

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
