Untitled 09

I love this painting. I'm not sure if I intended to make it out of Laker's colors, but that is one of the things I like about it. It is also kinda small. Consequently, I never decided which way it is supposed to be displayed so what you see here is the result of an arbitrary decision. This painting uses a style where I allow the paint to pool in mounds in places instead of brushing it out. You can the shadows of this style in the seven circular areas. I am not sure of whether this is on foamboard or cardboard but either way the canvas was something I had lying around the house, another signature of a past technique. I would verify it, but this piece is in storage and I cannot get to it just yet. What I did just get access to however is one of my old computer harddrives and the digital file for this painting is what you see above. Digital artifacts aren't so bad ehy?

Qwerty Style

'Under Construction'


'Re-entry'


'Mike's 29th' party flyer


'Smartbomb'

For awhile I was using this 'Qwerty technique' where every stroke of my digital brush was actually a keystroke. It is a fun way to try to portray something within the limits of another medium. Plus I like to re-purpose things, so this style is right up my alley. I haven't done one of these for a long time though. I really haven't had the inclination. Maybe an opportunity will arise...

Coastal

This one holds a special place in my heart. The creation of this piece marked the beginning of a burst of output that lasted for a good six months or so. I am also pretty sure that this piece was one of the ones that I did not show publicly and if I did, it may have been only once.

At the time I was very much inspired by living near the California coastline. I had recently made the move from Venice to Santa Monica and was really getting into the scene there.

This piece is also one of the few that I have given away. My roommates at the time really liked it so when we parted ways, I gave it to them.

This piece has done a lot of good. It will always stand as a reminder of my potential.
