One of my "adopted sons" posted this on Facebook with the title "Mind = Blown" and it is very impressive and cool!

Fighting Again

Here is the black and white study for the next fight picture. They will be in an alley (I just have not worked out the background details yet).  8 1/2 x 11 Acrylic on Canson board.

I Hate Tree Sex!

Well with warm weather comes trees and other plants having sex and putting polen in the air! So I am sneezing my head off and can't breath and have watery eyes etc! Not fun at all! This usualy goes on for the first couple of weeks of Spring and then again the first couple weeks of Fall. But with the weather getting warm, then cold, then warm again, I am having extra episodes and more time to sneeze myself sick! ICK!

Something Fishy

I got some new books and was inspired to do this little picture (while waiting on the OK for the preleminary sketch for the next fight picture). Done with almost no reference for the figure and using some overall markings like I never realy have before, this is much nicer than I expected. I did use reference for the background, though it is a mix of 3 different underwater pictures. I may do some decoration on the corners (the black areas) but I am not sure. This is getting a somewhat large frame because I have an oval frame with a domed glass that I think this will look realy nice in. "Guppy", 7 1/2 x 11, Acrylic, Micron marker, watercolor colored pencil and Prisma Color. Original and prints for sale. Picture 20. 

Not My Normal Style

Well, I did a quick little picture while trying to work out the pose for the next fight picture. This is very unlike my normal stuff. It was inspired by the works of Gustav Klempt, some of the newer stuff by Michael Parkes and a small portion of a Will Bradley drawing. I used no actual reference (other than looking at the art of the afore mentioned people). I like it but I am sure I will not be doing much if any other work in this "style". "Love in the Abstract", 7 1/2 x 11, Acrylic, Micron marker, Copic marker, watercolor colored pencil, Pro White on Canson board. Original and prints for sale. picture 19.

Great Concert

Don and I just saw Jonny Clegg in concert, it was amazing! If you don't know him and his music, you should check it out! He was part of a mixed race group that played in South African durring Aparthid!

Dark Decorative Dance

This is a patchwork scan of the latest picture (my camera is not working so this will have to do for now). I am not sure how well this worked, but I like the strong dark and light and the decortaive border. Here you see an Albino merman in a cave with some sharks. Not alot more to say about it. I did feel like I was going back to my roots a bit with this one as I used latex housepaint as part of the background (latex and acylic are the same thing realy). When I was in high school and first painting, I had no money so used what was easily available many times. And old latex house paint was easy to find. "In the Cave of the Ghost Shark", 15 1/2 x 20, Acrylic, latex, and watercolor colored pencil on Canson board. When I get a better picture the original and prints will be for sale. Picture 18.
