Last chance to get this piece at a Choir only discount before I make it public and the discount disappears like a ghost!
Not sure what this means? Me either! but it put it in the poll for some reason and you voted for it for some reason! lol

Featured image by Katrin. I love how Katrin uses the decalcomania technique. She really gets interesting textures and does just enough to suggest what she sees without over doing it.

I don't know where the footage went for Bozo I. maybe I didn't film that one.
This some pretty strange music I made for this video. enjoy!
I tend to paint dark stuff. That's just what I'm drawn towards. The macabre if you will. Reflecting the fact that everyone dies. Death is a part of life. It's grim and morbid but it's also beautifu...

As an artist I've always had mixed feelings about people saying, "you're talented," when they like my work. On one level, it's obviously a compliment and I know they mean well so I say thank you. B...

When I was working on the covid collection (I.e painting while I had covid) I did this one study where I really liked the idea but I felt the overall painting could improve.

I've got these 4 little ghost studies. I like them all for different reasons.
But which one do you like? which one do you think I should I develop into a finished painting?
This is one of the first paintings where I did the weird floating eyeball thing. Most of these paintings I've been sharing lately are studies. That just means that I'm planning on using them to dev...

People always go "what's the story behind this?" When they're looking at my art.
Most of the time, there isn't one. To me, painting is about transcending language. It's about...

A development from the first one. I think I might just take this to a bigger panel. I have a pretty sweet frame that I could use for it.
