WOw....it's been some time since I've posted on the blog. I've been enjoying life through art, love and uh...videogames. It has been pretty amazing, so I wanted to revisit and re-open the blog with some new work I've been doing over the last couple of years. I wanted to show off some of the work I've been doing at home and the work I've been doing at Harmonix. Sit Back and Enjoy some of the new stuff. Coming up.

It's been a while since my last update......I've been really busy at work on my next set of paintings for the next big show. Alot of stuff to cover, but for the most part things have been going really well with the job and my freelance commisions keeping me moving.

here are a couple of shots of my painting area and a remix version to and old painting I did some time ago. I wanted a new variation to a idea i had many years ago. enjoy.

LIGHTS PUNCHED OUT!

2005-09-20T13:05:00.000-07:00

So I did this painting on Saturday ..spent the entire day on it and finished it in about 9 hours total. I'm constantly trying out new techniques and experimenting with my colors and such. This one in particular was pretty fun because of the fact of making up muscle tones with his front arm.....lotta abstract things going on........but it seems to have worked well in the end result.

anyway ..........here's "SUCKER PUNCH!"

Welcome!
