the rooster boosters are dissapointed again

2008-05-07T09:40:00.000-07:00

why does that rooster have to let them down so often? doesn't he care at all anymore?

hey ma! the rooster got caught up in the laundry again!

I'm unloading my love like a bloated camel

i opted to forgo the fluer d' rag pattern to emphasize the clunky arrangements of the camels. i think the end result is much more dramatic and interesting.

this is the new one that i am working on now. as i said earlier, it is moving away from the figure towards the larger shapes with block lettering. i'm liking how it is going and starting to imagine how pieces might look on a larger scale or with several hung as a multiple. the thing i wonder about there is presentation, frames get in the way of continuous panels. any way, the pattern in the background is called fluer de rag.

get a hold of yourself!

obviously this piece evolved a bit while i worked on it. I'm pretty happy with the way it has turned out though. I'm leaning towards using More ambiguous shapes with the block letter against patterns for a while. we'll see how that goes.

new oil pastels coming

chances are that if you are looking at this blog you've come to see a sneak peak of some of the prints I will be showing in my new show coming up on saturday the 28th at umber studios. the following are samples of the designs I have been working with for the show and not the finished works. I'll be doing around 10 -12 piece with editions of 12-20. I decided to do a show of silk screens in answer to those that wanted some work of mine but needed it to be smaller and less expensive than my usual work. the prints will be selling between $100 and $200 and will range in size from 16" x 16" to 24" x 24" for the largest pieces. I hope you can come to the show and please feel free to leave any comments about the work.

it's like an indecipherable ransom note when you look at it all together. sort of a take on how people like to talk but don't really communicate all that well.

say what?

2008-01-22T10:06:00.001-08:00

this one will be 1/2 of a dyptich- pattern vs. icon sort of thing. it will make sense when you see the rest.

Navigating the ins and outs of your life is a clumsy affair at best. It's even more difficult when you force a fit that is'nt righ or appropriate for your image.

Please wait a momoent while I slip into my wierd

there is a person who you are when you are around strangers and there is the person you are when you are around the people you feel the safest around. it seems that the oldeer a person gets the less of a difference that there is between the two, which would explain the tighty whities and the black socks the neigbors have seen your dad in.

Okay, this turned out to be more about the accountability that people share in a relationship than cruelty to animals. I suppose it has something to do with the authority we give to others at times to excuse our own actions when they turn out grim.

Oh Mr Baron!

this picture is all about the serene contement and feeling of satisfaction that comes from doing absolutely nothing at all.

doesn't it always seem that no matter how carefully you live your life you get smacked in the face out of the blue. what's the point of being careful if your going to get fucked?

and so this is what it looks like when i'm done

2007-06-06T17:08:00.000-07:00

This one is called, " If Guilt Were Money, Then I'd Be A Shame Tycoon" We've all done bad things but that doesn't make it special, just dirty.

Yeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaw

No, I'm really not a cowboy. Thats the truth as well as the title of this piece.

please terrence, don't hurt em

Who doesn't love the Hammer? Me. The vh1 movie is a pretty spectacular way to waste an afternoon but the music just doesn't move me. maybe because i'm jealous of how Hammer can dance. if i could dance like that people would say,"hey! look at that guy. he's a good dancer." anyway, this pice is titled "I don't know whether I'm going in or staying out", it's about how uncool i am.

don't be shy

this next piece is called "it's not like we are the heirs to anything" and was done before the first. its a portrait of those wonderful folks full of righteous feelings of entitlement. just because your preacher told you so doesn't make it true, go out and find your own truths before regurgitating some other sleepwalkers ramblings.
