Day of the Dead

If you were my facebook friend you would know that i have a flu of some kind and a fever...it's one of those kinds of flus that, with a lot of drugs, you can sit up and paint or type on facebook and blogspot. You would know all about this because i talk about how sick i am incessantly. It's what i do. don't judge...

Illustration Friday - Swarm

I haven't done Illustration Friday in ages and it's a little late in the week but thought i'd throw this up...For the word of the week "Swarm" because her face is swarmed by stuff... the actual name will be Flora i think...not sure...

I think this needs a little more work and will probably work on it tomorrow...

Inked Up

Icons

well, i love them...Icon paintings - paintings of Icons. Whatever. I love to combine flat space and high detail too. and i love to paint people - real people and pretend people. If i could only do that, i'd be happy forever...
This painting is 20x20" acrylic with metallic leaf on canvas. It will be in a show at the Banana Factory - an art facility in Bethlehem, PA. Sorry, their website is a little lame or i'd put a link... Dates of the exhibit are: Jan. 29-March 27. If you know me, you may recognize the face a little...

also i wanted to post this pic too because i think it's funny - yes that is Thom Yorke from Radiohead in this girl's photo - must have been a nice surprise when she looked at her pics from vacation!!

Good night Tessa

Life is short. Naughty people seem to live forever (i'll be one of those) while the good ones are whisked away - probably because we don't deserve to walk among them. Anyway, a person I got to know over the years in a small art group has passed away after a lingering illness. She was one of those kinds of people that don't seem real. Walked with lions and gorillas, travelled the globe, met her husband on a trip in a jeep across Africa, sat under the stars in African savannahs...was she real? well of course. But she was also like a movie star to me - acting in the most amazing movie - which was really her life. Glamorous, beautiful and yet kind. I loved her lots and my thoughts are with her family. Good night Tessa - we mortals will miss you. xo
