deer hunting

recently commissioned by a friend to paint a young buck in a scarf for his lady's birthday.



took me awhile to like this one. i fought with myself for awhile about how it looked, but now it's grown on me. best/worst part: the wallpaper.  it was a pain to paint it, but makes the whole thing that much better.

here it is a little more saturated so you can actually see the blue on green.



i should spend my time a little more wisely. less netflix, more this!

black and white zoo

 more paintings to add to the zoo. or to friends' walls.

a technicolor zebra for katrina:


 a classy panda for matt's office:
 

"es un gato con una pipa!"

it took michelangelo four years to paint the sistine chapel. millions flock to it every year. weep and cry, and marvel at its majesty.

it took me two years to paint my replica of "un gato con una pipa". one will flock to it. weep and cry, and marvel at its overwhelming sadness, for it is "el cuadro mas triste del mundo", well, the (second) saddest painting in the world.




this is the last reference i make to this video, i promise. (for this year, at least.)

feeling crabby

look, mom, it's the painting you stole from our neighbor's lawn.
i painted on top of it.

the itsy bitsy spider

for one of my very last classes of my college life. i made something that i like, for once.
plaster, eucalyptus, tracing paper, crochet thread, embroidery thread, yarn, and most importantly, poop.

She Made Me

an ode to my momma and my momma's mommas.
it looks engraved, but really, it's just acrylic on wood.
tricky, tricky, oh so tricky.

grandmothers.
