Just Paint Something.
I've been painting quite a bit as of recent and have neglected to make your interaction with my website as stellar as possible. All the buttons work though and there's some stuff to look at behind them. More awesomeness to come soon.

Getting very close to being finished....

wow. long time coming.

2011-01-07T00:23:00.000-05:00

So, since about halfway through september I have been computer-less. I was advised by a smart man to vacuum my intake and it now lives to die another day. You can imagine that throughout the last four months my ability to promote myself has been seriously handicapped. Very soon(hopefully tomorrow)I will be able to post work from my solo show in September. I have also been tirelessy toiling in the studio doing the devils work. New pictures to be added and new work on the market. Seriously, somebody buy something.

Was unfortunately stolen by some scumbags at 2215 tioga street studios in port richmond.

if anyone reads this ever....

2010-01-03T00:09:00.000-05:00

so i guess its now been months without a computer and also not showing any new work to anyone. however, i have been making it and theres a tremendous amount that does exist. I have moved my studio to a great building and have received several commissions since. some industry coming my way. i will as soon as possible get some new pics up. if youd like to see any new work, my shop is now on 1241 carpenter street. i also always have some sort of collection of works at cafe lift which is located on 13th street between spring garden and callowhill.

2009-09-25T10:45:00.000-04:00

I've made a whole lot of new work recently..However, my mac hasn't been complying with me so you're gonna have to wait to check out images.

2009-08-28T21:10:00.001-04:00

I just set something up to blog from my phone. Yay!

broken arm portrait

2009-04-07T03:32:00.001-04:00

not too bad for my left hand.. i broke my clavicle. i dont recommend it.

2009-03-18T23:41:00.000-04:00

I am not to sure whether anyone reads this thing, but it feels good to put some words down. Next I'll start to title, price, and give dimensions.. That would be novel, right.

oh and about the mural

2009-03-18T23:01:00.000-04:00

I shortly will have a smiling happy philadelphia mural.. The design process is finalized and as soon as the weather breaks enough to put up a scaffolding i am ready to go.. Here is a mockup..

2009-03-05T11:28:00.000-05:00

This is one bad idea and also the reason why i will have to repaint. Duct tape? WTF.. Also the reason why I cannot sleep.

new big stuff

2008-05-19T17:25:00.000-04:00

over the last few years i've grown an affinity for cityscape paintings. the started with sketching and small drawings but if found i really enjoyed painting them as well.

2008-05-18T17:32:00.000-04:00

here's a big painting i've been trying to conquer. the tentative title is "battlewagon"

here's some animal paintings and some flowers

2008-05-17T17:36:00.000-04:00

these are pretty random and obviously don't hold too much of a common thread. i guess aside each other they do show a bit of diversity i play with in styles.

2008-05-17T17:28:00.000-04:00

These are a series I started on panel which operate as one liners. Its called quit your day job.

2008-05-17T17:21:00.000-04:00

i don't usually write too much about each piece, but rather let the work speak for itself. However feel free to inquire if you have interest.
