These are some sketches I did. They were all used for one project or another. The bottom one was for a cd cover, the next one up for a valentine coupon, the third for a large painting, and the last one for another painting.
This is a mural I was commissioned to paint inside of Bishop's hair salon on NW 10th and Everett in the Pearl district in Portland. The animal heads were already there and the owner wanted to leave them up, so I had to work around them. It was very challenging to come up with something to work with them. The mural is finished, but I need to get some pictures of it. I will update this blog when I do.
A recent commissioned paiting. Not a very good picture I know.
These are quick pieces I did for an annual show called the Big 100. The show involves 100 artists with 20 pieces on 8 x 8" wood, and each piece sells for $30, 10 of which goes to the Oregon Food Bank and KBOO radio. The show is held on December 11th only.

These were pieces I included in an annual show at the Goodfoot in Portland for a show called "I am therefore I think". There were around a hundred or so artists involved. The first two pieces were from the show I had at the Darras gallery.
This painting was done live on the street in 5 hours. It is done on a door which will be up for auction on first Thursday, September 3rd at the Art Institute, located on NW Davis and 11th in Portland. Half of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to a charity for art scholarships.
These pieces are all sold, but I could do more like them for anyone interested. They are done with coffee and sharpie, and paint pens on wood. Each square piece is about 4 x 4", and the round piece is about an 8" diameter. The wood is mostly recycled.
This is the mural I painted at Staccato Gelato in Portland, Oregon. It is located at 232 NE 28th Ave. It was the first mural I have ever painted of this size, but definitely not the last.
