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’ve just entered my painting, “Status Quo,” into the Paul Frank Art Attack Contest. It’s a great contest with entries from all over the country vying for a full page ad spot in JUXTAPOZ magazine. I think my piece is strong and has as much of a shot as anyone else. Please take a second [...]
Peter Steele, the lead singer of one of my favorite bands, Type O Negative, died last week from heart failure. I never met him, (although I have met the other members on some other memorable occasions,) but I am saddened by his passing. He was an imposing man; a behemoth on stage. I’ve seen him [...]
I know. A cheesy post title, but I couldn’t help it. Anyway, the trip was just great. I got to see some of the area surrounding L.A. and some of the cool parts of the city. There is so much there to experience, it is overwhelming. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a [...]
So, just found out that the gallery I am showing at next week is listed on Juxtapoz Magazine’s 100 Best list. Nice to hear that kind of news!

Well, I’d love to just lay back and bask in the glory that is the ‘Icons: #3 through,’ show, but that would be wrong and short lived! As of yesterday, I have sold over half of that show and I am so happy to have connected with so many people.
However, in the time since the [...]
First, I have to say thank you. Thank you to everyone who helped and supported me as I was working through this project and the lead up time before the installation - my wife and parents, especially. Thank you to all of you who showed and kept up interest in this idea. Thank you to [...]
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. By relating to the viewers’ personal and collective meanings ascribed to these universal images, the paintings can serve as a sort of translator that overcomes the boundaries set [...]
