family portraits

like your painting! is it from life? nice colors and layering.





so i was on an antibiotic high (didn't even know those existed) and put together this series. I'm titling it, "family portraits" laugh away

if a tennis ball and an onion had a child it would be garlic obviously!

tennis ball and onion love garlic boy, their garlicky son!

tennis mama and garlic boy!

garlic baby and his friends, shallot girl and garlic baby.

look at how devious garlic baby looks

a drawing im workin on

i love those

i especially like the way the 2nd one is stretched!! the canvas really feels like skin! and the colors are really interesting, it looks like purple in there? its harder to tell from photograph i think but yeah


cool man! i wanna stretch a canvas like that sometime.
and then sleep on it.

maybe we could paint on cots!



and yeah, everything can be boiled down to a vagina or penis. maybe cuz they are the source of our lives we just see them in everything.

which is a sacred thing to enjoy and appreciate

this semester

so this is what i have been working on this semester, paintings based on the scar on my right forearm that i got when i put my arm through a window. unintentionally of course. i've just been thinking about skin and scars and then responding to the materials i have in the art building...

this is acrylic on canvas with blue thread coming out of it and the first work of the semester. unstretched just hanging from wire hook things. this one is the largest at about nine by eight feet.



this is the second piece i made, canvas stretched on a wood stretcher with wire kind of like how they stretch animal skins... kinda gruesome. this is maybe 7 or 8 feet by i don't know, 6 feet maybe.




this one is the last piece that i just finished this last week. it is wood panel on a wood stretcher. i still might change the size of the stretcher or add some wire stitches to better integrate the panel with the stretcher. this is the same size as the one above. big i guess is the best word.

steve thinks that they look like vaginas which was not my intention and i kind of don't care. so what if it looks like a vagina, everybody that is cool has one.... i don't think it matters if that is not what i am intentionally putting in to it.

now i am getting kind of interested in realism and collaborative art... i miss figurative stuff and charcoal.
