This Weekend: FLOTZILLA(s) at OhNo!Doom

This weekend (6/4/2011) boasts the opening of a new group show at OhNo!Doom gallery in Chicago, featuring some face-melting metal inspired artwork by locally and nationally known artists! The show is aptly titled "Friends of the Beast", and will include some work by yours truly.

All who enjoy art and/or heavy metal or who just happen to live in the Chicagoland area are encouraged to attend! DO IT!

Update: The original framed artwork, along with a lot more artwork, is available for purchase from OhNo!Doom's e-store until the end of this month. Support the arts!

Out-O-The Woodwork Group Show

Hello friends and followers! As some may have heard through the grapevine this past week, I am presently displaying two paintings at a marvelous little gallery known as OhNo!Doom in Chicago this month.

If you can't make it to the show, you can see the pieces a bit larger here on my blog, or here in OhNo!Doom's web shop.

I hope you like what you see.

Hipster + Sandwich

I painted this a couple months ago after watching a dirty hipster eating a sloppy sandwich. I felt it was just too funny not to post, so I present to you a quick painting that I simply call "Hot Mess".

Digital prints of this piece are available here. (Cheap!)

Birds in the city

Its been quite some time since anything new has gone up here... my apologies. Despite the fact that I've been working like a mad man lately, this is the first painting I can freely distribute at this point in time. As some of you know, I've been quite busy working on a somewhat enormous project which I hope will see the light of day later this year. So in the mean time, I've completed my first large scale watercolor in over a year, since wedding season is upon us and I am too poor to afford presents. I hope you like what you see, and I hope the recipient doesn't read this before this weekend. Stay tuned!

GicleePrints Update...

Update: The aforementioned prints have arrived and are available here. (Cheap!)

12/14/2009: I will be having prints made of the moldy oldy you see above, sized 20"x 10", priced $30, available for 2010. Contact me if you're interested!

This takes some explanation...

I've been passively working on this for several months. It takes some explanation...

I was taking a photography class last fall and was taking photos in the KSU Library, somewhere around the 9th floor. Crawling around looking for a shot, I noticed dozens of flies laying on the ground... not dead, just laying there. It was one of the strangest things I've seen.

Cats Everywhere

I made a quick painting recently of a friend's cat. I also did a lot of quick studies. If there was ever a class about drawing things that aren't creepy to look at, I think I missed it. Here are a few examples, just because I feel like this blog needs some pictures.
