It has been a while since my last post, I apologize. Summer time runs me down to the ground with activities! If you will be in Philly for July 6th, 1st Friday, I will have a few pieces of art up on the walls for Drink Philly. Stop by for some art, drinks and BBQ! http://philly.thedrinknation.com/articles/read/8108-First-Friday-with-Art-In-The-Age-Q-BBQ-Tequila-July-6
For my next Zinefest event I am making coasters! I have printed out laser prints of some sketches and paintings I have done recently, went to Home Depot and purchased tiles for 16 cent each, purchased chemicals to make epoxy resin and WAH-LAH! Coasters they have become! I find it fun to make crafts after work, life is a bitch unless you know how to keep that bitch in line! (just kidding!) Hope you enjoy, I took some photos during the process to show how easy & fun it is!
Today in the North East it is rainy. Rain drops all over! Days like this are awesome because it makes me want to finish up some paintings. Take advantage of the gloom.
Every Time A Cruise Ships Sinks A Mermaid Get’s New Martini Glasses (unfinished) Acrylic on canvas
24″ x 36″
” When He Can’t Be, She’ll Take Care Of You”…funny, as much as I missed painting, it made me think of other things I’ve missed such as a seeing a good friend of mine. This is for her. (Unfinished)
It’s been a month or so since I’ve been able to finish these two paintings but soon enough they will be complete! They are close to my size, about 5’2 & 4’9 painted on wood panels. I am excited to finish them! The larger one “My Life, My Lover, My Lady Is The Sea” was inspired by the song “Brandy, by The Looking Glass” (it is also my name so I guess the title of the song signs my name for me..haha)
Recently I’ve acquired an awesome Guided By Voices mix. Needless to say I’m a fan. Robert Pollard writes pretty amazing lyrics not to mention the music has a lo-fi sound but it’s catchy as shit! I started effing around and doodling as I was tuning in and out and back in again.
“Hey Aardvark where’s my ashtray, Put it in my room so I can smoke, Let’s hire a race car driver, Drive through the park and just tell jokes, And if it costs too much, I’ll foot the bill, Because I will, Oh oh I would like that, Oh oh i would like that.”
Ah…birthdays, beacause I am broke as crap, I give my friends art for their b-days. Since I am on this skull kick I decided to draw her sweet little pitbull named Glory. Yes, glory is a hipster dog, she is also known as “Gloryhole” thanks to me being drunk the first time I met her.
I was asked to take part in a skull collaboration project for as awesome friend of mine that owns the notorious Sire Press Screen Printing. I was given complete creative freedom so I decided to draw instead of another pussy, a cat skull with a toy mouse skull in its mouth. Me-Ow!! It is originally in black & white for him with ink on paper but I decided to just mess around with it in Photoshop after I scanned it just because I had a few free minutes to spare. I am super excited to see what he comes up with for his project with screen printing illustrations of skulls other artists create for him, I am sure it is going to be radical! I hope I see some penis skulls happen in the mix!
