It’s perfect just as it is, this little zinger.

More about Joseph here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Duplessis (sorry, hyperlinks aren’t showing in this microblog setting). But while we’re at it, here’s to a prosperous 2012, my friends!

Hyperlocal Camouflage lives.

Hey, guys. A peek at new work underway: this painting will be camouflage for the Golden Belt site. Others will follow and it’s all based on the Army’s digitized camouflage pattern, but filled in with photographic elements from specific sites.

Portrait of an Artist #5: Leon Golub

This is not my image. I was unable to find copyright information at the time of this posting. But the art of Leon Golub struck that revolutionary chord in me the first time I saw it as a 3″ wide reproduction in an Art History book. This was not the proper preparation for the first time I saw one of his paintings in person.

New canvas prints.

I’m offering new canvas prints of a few of my photographs for the first time. I’ll have a set of images centered around water available this 3rd Friday in my studio at Golden Belt. The prints range in size from 18″ x 24″ to 14″ x 36″ and there are single prints as well as a nice diptych up for grabs.

What’s next?

So after a long string of no serious injury due to X-acto blades… seriously long… today I got mine. It was my gift to myself. Thought this image was quite funny in any case. Hope you’ve not had to visit the local urgent care facility today.

The Sound of Science!

Woah.Ok, wait a minute… Woah. This is what we’ve all taken in over the years, but not distilled. Word is born!

Portrait of an Artist #3: Lucian Freud

Real talk. Or real painting, maybe. Freud said he painted people who interested him in rooms he lived in and knew. I might argue he pushed this simple equation to places no one else was willing to visit, much less live. Rest in peace. Image © http://www.ibiblio.org

Y’all remember this?

Here’s the moment we were drawing winners for the raffle of New Neighbors paintings. Either I can’t bear to watch or I’m trying to reconcile who wants what painting!
