Exciting news! My mural in Staccato Gelato was recently used in a Nintendo commercial.

Paint and Collage on Recycled Wood

Feb Denver Show

"Eye in the Sky"

"The Patrol"

"El Futuro del Transporte 2"

"Big Brother"

"El Futuro del Transporte 3"

"El Futuro del Transporte"

These are pieces I made for a show put on by Mike Broberg of the Birdseed Collective in Denver. The pieces are all collage done on glass or plexi, with work done on each side to give the pieces more depth than a traditional 2 dimensional piece. The pieces called "Creation" and "Destruction" were worked on by the very talented Phil Garrison.

Big 100 show 2010

Here are a few of the pieces I included in the big 100 show this year, the first two are done with black ink on metallic paper, the other four are woodburned pieces. They are all sold.

A few new things

Ok, so I've been a little bad about taking pics of new things I've been doing. But here's a couple. The first image is a screenprint I made with Phil Garrison. The second is a painting from a sketch.

Love Show

This is the piece I did for the 5th annual Love Show presented by the Launch Pad Gallery. It opens Friday, February 12th at the Olympic Mills Center, located at 107 SE Washington St in Portland, OR. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Zimbabwe Artists Project, the American Red Cross, and the Haiti Relief Fund.

Here's another very simple mural I did. For this one they had a very specific idea of what they wanted.

This is a mural I just finished. It was for a little boy named Milo who loves the Yellow Submarine. His mom asked me to paint a large replica of the Beatles' Yellow Sub above his bed, and in the enclosed area underneath she wanted it to look like a playful childish version of the inside of a submarine.  

Random Sketches

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.

Dog Portrait

This is a portrait I was recently commissioned to paint of a dog named "Jiffy"

Bishop's Hair Salon Mural

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.

The Big 100

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.

I am therefore I think

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.
