I’m not sure what to write about this painting, because I like it so much. Over the last two years, I’ve responded to finished paintings by immediately moving on from them to knew paintings I wanted to work on. While that’s a pretty efficient strategy, it skips the stage where I enjoy having made something….

Part two- this picture was taken a few weeks ago, this painting has developed a whole lot more since then. I think you can see better with this close up shot on the right how I’m doing a sort of hidden picture effect in order to make a cool sky background. Can anyone see that…

Back when I was in high school, I made this painting of Lewisburg. Borderline surreal, it incorporates national geographic photos next to simplified Lewisburg landmarks. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been making an upgraded version of this picture for my neighborhood in Garfield, a painting I’m going to call “I don’t know what I…

I am really loving making these portraits. Over the last two months, I’ve been thinking a lot about gestures and the way they animate the person in question. For both of these models, I have static just sitting pictures as well as shifting, conversational ones. I’ve noticed that once people start talking, their posture and…

I’ve been working on these two for the last few months. Reaons that have kept me from completing them: 1. Developing new mediums is a time sink. The watercolor crayons are really cool, but I’m not able to leverage them as well yet. 2. I’ve been working on an enormous tree in my basement with…

                                    Watercolor sketches. I’ve been trying both dense crayon-ing and light crayon-ing. Some of these are working better than others. Enjoy!

Hey! This is a new kind of thing I’m doing! My Dad has been using watercolor crayons, so I have too. I did five of these on my way to Chicago on the train. The only problem with doing art while traveling is that random people want to talk to you for a long time…

                  Some things I realized today: 1. I don’t post enough 2. I only painted like, six paintings this year. 3. Both might be because I spend 1/3 of my time painting and 2/3 of my time second guessing myself. So! Here is a new post. This…

I’ve been talking about my caulk a while now. Here, finally, is the result of my first paint using the caulk gun as a primary means of implementation.   I’m calling this “No Man’s Land” because I think about parking lots as one of the only places where I’m likely to see a representative demographic of…

Happy Saturday morning! I was at my friend’s house and thought I would get a picture of this for my website. This is the longest distance shot I’ve painted. I think it highlights the tone of the city more clearly than many of my other paintings. There’s a quote from the “Crying of lot 49”…
