Austin Show

2011-11-21T09:30:00.000-08:00

So this is the first of some color pencil drawings that I am preparing for a show with Jennifer Davis at the GrayDuck Gallery in Austin TX this coming February.

The First Drawing For My Upcoming SHow iN April

2011-02-13T14:13:00.000-08:00

So this ought to give a pretty good idea for where the work is headed for the spring show.

or maybe all red?

Another new sketch for the show in april

2011-01-12T16:14:00.000-08:00

I'm still playing around with the text on this one but I think it will make for a nice print either way.

Terrence Payne At Target

2011-01-10T15:29:00.000-08:00

I was asked to do some patterns for Target over the holidays and they are now up at their headquarters in Minneapolis along with designs by Burlesque of North America, Aesthetic Apparatus, Farida Hughes and Ryan Hughes. Check it out if you get a chance.

bigger and with color

2010-12-21T16:58:00.000-08:00

I'm thinking about making this as a 48" round oil pastel changing the flower color.

boat sketch

2010-12-19T14:44:00.000-08:00

What I am planning for this at the moment is to build the piece out of 15 smaller framed pieces and assembled on a wall to get the full impact, I think the finished composition will measure 90" x 96" when installed and will most likely be screen printed with color pencil line drawing over it.

Panel Discussion 12/16/10

2010-12-03T14:52:00.000-08:00

"FLOURISH" PANEL DISCUSSION:
Defining the Sublime with the artwork of Jennifer Davis, Erika Olson Gross, Terrence Payne, & Joseph Siness

Is there a line to be drawn between fine art and design? Is one inherently more valuable to our culture than the other? Does the world of fine art have any influence over how you view your world and the media you view it through? Join the artists of Flourish and the panel of experts they have invited in exploring the answers to these and many other questions regarding the roles of artists and designers in the wild west of modern media today.

Guest panelists for the evening are:
+ Burlesque of North America Founder MIKE DAVIS
+ MCAD Professor TOM GARRETT
+ Space150 Associate Creative Director JASON STRONG
+ bd'm Art Buyer KIM WITCZAK

Each of them will be sharing his or her professional expertise and unique insights on the show. MAEP coordinator Christopher Atkins will moderate the panel and open up the discussion to the audience. Feel free to jump into conversation and bring along your questions!

Fine Art & Design: Panel Discussion
Thursday, December 16, 7-8:30p.m.
MAEP Galleries, Minneapolis Institute of Arts
FREE & open to the public
facebook event page: http://goo.gl/1JZLe

The discussion will be followed by an informal reception with the artists and panel members in the galleries and many other fun things to see and do throughout the museum in conjunction with the MIAs Free "Third Thursdays".

This should be a lot of fun and a good chance to mix it up with the artists and pros at the show.
We hope to see you there!

And so this is the final drawing for the MAEP show

The First Group Of Drawings For the MAEP show

2010-08-21T09:03:00.001-07:00

for this show I am playing with the idea of having several groupings of drawings that relate to one another but also stand well enough alone. it's going to be all about relationships and their different forms I suppose.

some new work for the maep

the final oil pastel ends likes this

So then I made these

2008-06-17T09:33:00.000-07:00

The next step in getting ready for the show is to take elements from the drawings which will serve as anchors for the space and reproduce and manipulate the primary shapes and objects into patterns to be printed onto to fabrics, like these.

Tragedy Is AN Old Family Freind II

2008-06-16T11:02:00.000-07:00

much better now.

Number Two Of Four

2008-06-05T10:03:00.000-07:00

This is the second of four new drawings, the first being the rooster, which will be part of a show I am doing with Amy Rice this coming september featuring a combination of drawings and sculptural elements in familiar environments so that you can have a chance to literally be in one of my portraits if you have the moxie to take it on. anyway this one is called, "Tragedy Is An Old Family Friend".

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

2008-04-29T08:23:00.000-07:00

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.

camel fight

2008-04-16T15:17:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-04-15T12:28:00.000-07:00

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

2008-03-24T14:12:00.000-07:00

howdy. this is a draft for a new piece that i am working. I'm swithching back over to oils for a while and will have some to see soon so be on thte lookout.

hello

2008-02-11T17:10:00.000-08:00

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.

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.

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!

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

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

2007-05-15T13:53:00.000-07:00

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.
