song #2

almost 20 years old. Still love this song. 

this album came out around the time I started getting into painting,  I remember staying up all night listening to this while painting on cardboard.
I even listened to this album today while working on my new pieces

paper cuts

here are some sneak peeks of pieces that I have done for a 2 person show in September. 

just a couple for now. 

Im working bigger these days, so each piece is taking a little longer than normal.

The idea for the pieces in this show started off inspired by the Antique paper dolls I have. These fragile, thin paper dolls like a metaphor for childhood. Such a delicate state and so easily torn. 

The pieces will be like a sequence of stages, beginning to end. Innocence, the damages and then the reconstruction. Using the adversity to rebuild.

So I will be posting sneak peeks of the pieces along the way.

I will have more info on the show within the next month.

song #1

do you have songs you never seem to get sick of?

Art Student Owl

So here is my full piece for Gallery 1988's "Meme" show

"Art Student Owl"

16x20

oil on canvas

Now I never did go to art school, but none the less, learning artist's are all the same. 

I get a chuckle out of this meme, I also like "paranoid parrot" and recently enjoy "you dont say" funny stuff.

here are a few of my favorite Art Student owl memes floating around the Interwebs

and here is one I made

I almost titled my piece this but I didnt. 

The show opens this Friday @ Gallery 1988 L.A!!!
