Bathtub Beatuy & Desert Night

Hot New Fashion Trend

When you're wearing clothes, what parts of you are naked? Just your head and hands, right? Well this is the latest thing: The complete opposite - let's clothe our head and hands, and leave the rest naked.

Haven't you heard? The trend has already populated itself amongst the new 2009 collections of many top fashion designers in Paris, London, Tokyo, Oshawa, and New York City.

Drowning in Apathy

I'm not depressed, I promise.

Funeral Procession

It's a little boy, lost at sea. So the fish gather in the dark of his shadow, beneath the moonlight, and follow his corpse as it floats destinationless. Like a funeral procession.

I'm quite happy with the way he turned out, as depressing as it may be. I turned it into my new websites header, as it somewhat sums up my mood as of late - pained, but with a sprinkle of wonder to ease the pain and make it worth bearing.

My old header, for archival purposes:

Angry at the beautiful moon

My studio is in a workshop outside. I start working when the sun goes down, and I work all night until the sun comes up. Every time I leave my studio, to get more water, go to the bathroom, etc, I'm faced with a huge glowing moon. I think this is why I paint so many moons, because I see it more than I see the sun. I'm jealous of it's beauty, and tonight, I hate it.

I'm doing these paintings. They're quick, so I don't have time to stagnate. I'm hoping that someday soon I have an original idea, something worth putting down on paper. Until then, I'm just going to keep searching. Wish me luck.

Flower Girl

This was one of those paintings that didn't turn out at all like I envisioned it when I started, but it has it's own charm that I never intended, so I don't hate it. I seem to be cropping in closer and closer to my subjects, something about the claustrophobic composition in this one drives home the 'loneliness' point.

Paint Sketches

Both of these were directionless experiments, so I'm posting them together. Not particularly happy with either of them, but this blog is never going to grow if I don't share my experimentations, so here they are regardless.

Sea Hunt

This one's not actually a painting. It's a vector, and I just added this cheesy textured background & drop shadow to make it more interesting. That's what you're supposed to do right? If something doesn't turn out the way you want, photoshop it until you're not ashamed to show it off.
