Something fun I’ve been working on for a design contest with Santa Cruz Skateboards. They supplied the ’screaming mouth’ graphic, (from their iconic Screaming Hand design by legendary artist/designer, Jim Phillips,) and I supplied the rest. So much fun to work on! I used to draw the Screaming Hand design when I was younger and [...]
I have been invited to show two pieces in the upcoming WWA gallery group show: The Devil Made Me Do It. WWA gallery is located in Culver City, CA , in the Los Angeles metro area.
I am extremely excited about the show and will be showing some very personal pieces: ‘Fur EIAE,’ and ‘I Am [...]
Each piece is painted on metallic leaf over wood panel. The images are singular ‘iconic’ images meant to transcend their individuality and singularity by recalling archetypal meanings.

My latest work is a sort of interactive piece. The four identically sized panels are made to read in the order that they are presented here. I intentionally used Latin phrases and kept them in their native form for a few reasons. When translated, the stately Latin language reveals some humor that the viewer is [...]

In its way, the canvases plus the viewer are representative of land masses - continents, if you will. This is intentionally devised to [...]
Well, I’ve been working really hard lately to make my newly acquired festival booth ready for work. I’ve decided to jump into the festival scene. It makes sense, really… because I live in Florida: I already have a pretty serious ‘farmer’s tan!’ I consider that a big advantage over the other festival-going artists from ‘pasty [...]
Just returned from 2 weeks in Romania. Stayed in an area that I used to live in with my wife and child and extended family around. The trip was great and I saw so many inspiring things. I had high hopes of completing 3 paintings while there, but I opted for quality over quantity and [...]

Hot off the easel… a fresh bit of paint with a new color palette. Nice and vibrant. Just don’t run around like that.
This piece fits into the same series as: ‘Fur EIAE,’ and ‘Of Trees and Bees.’ I have been exploring the meeting of animals and iconography; what happens when simple and traditional iconographic devices are added and how that confers a sense of divinity.
