Studio Shots- 9-26-09

This ain't the professional images.

Please smile more often.

New paintings coming soon!

Here's a quick studio shot from yesterday. These are 4 of a series of 10 paintings that should be finished up in the next week or two. The featured paintings here are in various stages of completion. Actual results may vary.

I'll post proper photographs as soon as possible, once everything's completed.

Francis Bacon at the Met

I'll keep this short-

If you like painting, or even just looking at things- Go See This Show.

No fancy pictures to prove it to you. No poetic witticisms. The proof is in the pudding.

But hurry, the show ends in, like, two days. It's "free," which in NYC is labeled as "Pay What You Wish."

I once heard someone refer to Bacon as England's Jackson Pollock...

Getting Back on the Wagon

I finally finished moving my studio gear out of my studio and into my apartment. And I finally got to work again.

My Funny Little Batman Painting

(not yet titled)

The Batman painting measures 2'x4' and will be a gift for Michael Brennan, who partly inspired it. The other painting measures 9"x14" and is my first non-square based (or double square based) painting in about five years It will be a gift to my friends Tim and Lali for their wedding. I may just let them title it themselves.

The materials are still graphite, Sharpie and acrylic/urethane paint.
