Stunned.

Not sure if I am really into this or I really hate it...I think this was a huge internet buzz a couple months ago. I remember seeing the kid with the growth disease a few years ago on the Maury Povich talk show. This dudes prison tattoos are incredible.

2010 sketches...thus far.





I make it a point to draw everyday, even if it is the same old ugly dudes with oversized teeth and under-bites.

Utilize the tools around you. Paper, ink, pencil, tape, white-out, coffee, Post-it notes and Xerox machines can all be used to create work when not in the studio. Be resourceful in 2010...and original.

Message in a Bottle show.



The great folks over at Solid Gallery One Tattoo & Art Gallery asked me to be a part of their February show. "Message in a Bottle" is going to have artists either paint on bottles or incorporate that theme into their painting. I decided to do a painting for this show since my 3 dimensional work never really comes out.

Opens on February 12th. If you live around there...check it out in person, the roster of artists is really great.
