Yearbook Ladies - New Series - Painting 1

I started a new series based on photos from a 1961 yearbook I bought from a thrift store. The yearbook is from an all-girls Catholic high school. I like collecting yearbooks although I only have 3 so far, suprisingly I don't have any of the yearbooks any of my past schools.

New Art - A Bit Of Dada

Good evening, I finished a new piece that was inspired by the Dada movement. It's made of bits and pieces, some wood from Las Vegas, nails, an old cassette tape and various paints and color pencils. I had my doubts about it at first but I want to complete my pieces and try to sell them. Enough of all this lallygagging.

My 2nd Collage Sale

Horray, another collage has sold, the buyer also owns a gallery so it will be on exihibit.

The Three Crosses - A Comment On War & Profits

I made these pieces a while back, a reflection of the Bush years. This is my small commentary on a huge, world engulfing subject, the death, brutality, religion and greed that goes along with all wars. My younger brother has joined the Army so I thought it will be a good time to bring these pieces out.

Sketches From 2006

This is page from one of my older sketch books, the year was 2006. Ah such an inocent time.

I'm All Ears

This week my wife gave me a watercolor painting of her ear, pretty cool. Today at the Echo Park Farmers Market I found some delicious pastries, in Mexico they are called "Ears". Coincidence? I think God is telling me to listen....by the way these are the best "Ear" pastries I have ever tasted, the baker was a British lad.

Sketches From 2008

Someone once recommended sketching the people that are interviewed by Charlie Rose. I guess it has something to do with the minimal camera shots and editing. I decided to give it a try so here are some sketches from 2008.

I sold my first collage this week, this little ACEO titled "Alice". I'm really hoping this is the 1st of many sales to come, don't worry I'm still kepping my day job. I'm not a big fan of the whole starving artist thing. Maybe I can become dollar menu artist instead.
