yeah

new paintings

these have some nice surface qualities that get lost in the pictures, but i guess thats the nature of the beast. more soon.

question

historically, on this blog, asking for a response doesnt work. several hundred people look, but the only people who say anything are the same 4 or 5 people… god bless them.
so this is the story. i get a lot of people asking about how much a painting costs, and it usually falls through because, like myself, these people don’t have a ton of money to spend on art. i’ve toyed with the idea of making more prints, but thats not really all that fun of a process for me, and im never entirely enthralled by the results.
now, i use a lot of very very low tech printmaking techniques in my paintings which makes them about halfway reproducible, and i got to thinking about doing a very limited series of half prints/half paintings that are each unique and different, but contain the same general imagery.
if there were say… ten, and say they were each …$100 ish, maybe 15×20… would that be worthwhile.
ill probably do it anyways, but response is appreciated as always.
make words to me.

shirt designs

in an attempt at full disclosure, here are a few shirt designs ive done this year.

progress

this is something im still working on. excuse the picture, i took it with my phone.

the drawing center viewing program

assuming that most of the people who visit here are in the art field, i thought i would haley joel osment it and give everyone a heads up about the drawing center’s viewing program.  if you dont know, the drawing center in new york is a highly regarded, non profit museum that focuses solely on the medium of drawing. so that is already cool.  now, or for a little while, they have had a viewing program which is an online curated artist registry where galleries, directors, buyers, people of interest can see your work and you have the possibility of being included in drawing center shows. 

it is application based and to get approved or the opposite, it takes a few months.  i think its definitely worth the time to do the online application though.  so here it is, do it.

trips

hello. im back.  here is the first installment of pictures.  ive tried to eliminate most of the touristy, scenic pictures (of which, there are an insane amount)  and post the ones that i think would be more interesting to people who come here for some art based purposes are all probably more travelled than myself.  i guess if you want the other ones, then youll have to come over… i am not a fast resizer of pictures.

london:

most of these are from the victoria and albert  and then from saatchi which had a show up of middle eastern artists.

 

 

so then we went to berlin:

its a shame chain link haircuts never caught on

ishtar.    

prague:

 its a shame this kind of haircut has caught on in prague

back to germany.

  

and then to luzern switzerland, where its really hard not to take pretty pictures.

apparently a real thing here?

  

ill be posting the second half of switzerland, italy and spain in the next few days along with the stragglers.
