Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’ve been in the woods with my imaginary friends.
Here’s some baseball themed art, since it’s Opening Day. And if anyone’s heading to the Coliseum to get rained on tonight, I’ll see you there. Let’s go Oakland!
This is the last weekend of ‘Things That Happened and Things We Made Up’, the 3 person show I’m in at The Compound in Oakland (along with Alison Tharp and Liam Golden). We’re closing it down this Sunday with an Artist Panel, during which I intend to ramble on incoherently about whatever crosses my mind and avoid answering any awkward questions that may arise. The fun starts at 3pm, talk at 4pm. There’s free tea though, so that’s something. Hope some of you can make it.

The Craftsman of Destruction, 2013, mixed media on board.
This piece will be appearing in “Things That Happened and Things We Made Up” at the Compound Gallery, February 8th - March 23rd.
I’ll be taking part in a three person show at The Compound in Oakland, opening Saturday February 8th, 6-9 pm. The show is titled Things That Happened and Things We Made Up, and my fellow artists are the magnificently talented Alison Tharp, and the equally superb Liam Golden. It is an honor indeed to be hanging on the same walls as these two, and it should be a very interesting, provocative and entertaining show. I plan on having around 15 new pieces on the walls, including some new paintings. I’ll be posting a few little tasters here over the coming weeks. The exhibition will be hanging until Sunday March 3rd at which point there ill be a closing tea and an Artists Panel. Hope to see you there.
Happy Christmas.
And by the way, the perfect present for that ‘special’ someone is available right here.
Are you the kind of person who loves free downloadable magazines that feature my artwork? Well then I’m about to make your day. Because Composite Arts Magazine is a magazine that you can download, free, from http://compositearts.com/and issue number 14, entitled “Reprobates”, has several fine reproductions of my artwork included in it. Leaving aside my own tawdry contribution, there are many more excellent and enlightening things to be enjoyed between its digital pages.
Did I mention it was free?
It’s free.
