I was going through some old pictures tonight on a whim to find something from my past to work into a drawing and I ran across this. It’s an acrylic painting I did back during my senior year of High School and went to Ohio Capital Conference with.
This was also the first painting [...]

I don’t get a whole lot of commission work. I guess I find it frustrating on a certain level because commissioned work involves trying to please someone else with your art, but every now and then I do. I usually only accept it if it is design work as opposed to a painting [...]
There is a certain amount of frustration I get when reading “mainstream art world” news. Little things pop out at me like this statement.

I’ve decided to blog photos of the fumage in progress here. The image quality on my cell is pretty decent so I am going to use that and upload to here through Flickr. Our digital camera is pretty much dead.

I also enjoy reading readers blogs. Hey, build the community right? So if you have an art site or [...]
