5″ x 7″ acrylic on canvas I’ve been feeling sentimental so I’m going to start painting from my family photos. Never been into having family photos on the walls so this might be the way to go. This one is my mom and aunt at the airport a couple of years before I was born.…

Portrait miniatures are so cool. Tudors to Victorians were rockin’ these wee little likenesses of their sweethearts or whatever before photographs came along. I just love little things! I tried my hand at a couple for Christmas gifts.

My painting is in the background! It’s gouache on red paper board from 2002ish and it’s big- about 3’x4′. I think I did it for a show about the “male gaze” and it didn’t get accepted! Too on the nose? Or maybe it was show of female nudes. Anyway, it didn’t get in. At the…

Been going through stuff, and I found a stash of 35mm slides of old artwork, so I finally put up an Old Art archive. The quality of the images is not great, but I lost the digital copies of things, and this is better than nothing! This one is Jimmy and the Gorilla, Oil on…

IMG_5423 My friend Caity in Seattle just sent this amazing Elliot Smith/Buffy crossover. I love it so much AND see that cool painting? That’s one of mine! (Wardrobe 2001 Oil on Canvas 24″ x 36″) It is a crossover too. The white silhouette is the old Salt Lake City Public Library where I worked at…

She blinded me with pseudoscience. I did this watercolor this weekend. I like how the faux bois countertop looks but not lovin’ the cup. Anyhoo, there is a reason, that is not 90’s nostalgia, that I felt compelled to paint Saturday’s cup of coffee. I am not a person of faith- of any kind. Lately…

This was an exercise in “jumping in with authority even though you are super rusty and haven’t used watercolor in a while.” It turned out fine. By the way, these sneakers were even more worn out than the painting suggests and were taking up room in my shoe cubby. So, the moment after I got…
