I have to return some videotapes

Its been at least six years since I've painted anything on canvas. I generally like to paint on heavy watercolor paper with acrylic washes (mostly because its cheaper and if I fuck up I'm just tossing out paper). For some reason there is a collection of small canvases in my closet, probably gifts or whatever, so i decided to go back to my roots(high-school) and give canvas another go around. It was more of a forced decision as I'm doing a project with Dave C that requires me to work on a large-ish canvas. He works on canvas almost exclusively and I'm down for the challenge. Long story long, i needed to do a warm up piece to reacquaint me with bumpy old canvas. What better subject than a small "Patrick Bateman" 5"x7" Acrylic on Canvas.

Check out that project with dave here.

Heres a sketch of my entry in the Lulu bell Dia de Los Muertos group show. "El Diablo". I just transfered the sketch to an 18" x 24" canvas and I'm gonna start of old drippy here as soon as i can choose oils or acrylics. Im leaning towards oils.

Oil the Blog Gears

Its been a little bit(months) since I've placed any words in this here blog. Got a lot of things in the works for the art realm. Working on a large painting for the Dia De Los Muertos show at Lulubell gallery in Tucson and have a few small ones l would like to do as well for that show. In my last blog from months ago i mentioned a new painting for the Modern Mythology show in January and here it is:

Good times were had creating and conceptualizing this piece. Enjoy.

This is just a little post to dip my feet back into the blogging world so ill keep it short. Many many many things to occupy my time for the next six months, thought about listing them all here and the thought was exhausting. so, goodnight
