So as you, dear reader(s) know, I did it. I reached my goal of 100 portrait paintings in 2020. In some ways looking back on it, it feels like it should have been easier. I mean, in the end, I apparently got to 109, but until around November, I really wasn’t sure if I was… Continue reading Dammit, it’s 2020 Part II!

2020: Part 1, Dammit!
For the next ten weekdays, I am going to post ten works a day on Instagram and Facebook and then, likely on the 11th weekday I will do one last post with some of the extra paintings I did. If this is your first time visiting this blog, you may not know that at some… Continue reading 2020: Part 1, Dammit!
There’s a Helluva Lot to do Next Year!
So next week it will be 2021. If feels good to type that, even though I don’t usually like it when years fly by like this one kind of did for me. It feels like yesterday that I was free to go where ever I want. I realize this year has dragged on for some… Continue reading There’s a Helluva Lot to do Next Year!
I Did 100 Portraits in One Year! What the Hell do I Do Next?
So as the title of this post indicates, I have managed to create 100 portraits in one year. In fact, I’ve done more than that, so in the new year on Instagram (and Facebook), I will post 10 works a day for my first 10 posts of the year. And it won’t actually be the… Continue reading I Did 100 Portraits in One Year! What the Hell do I Do Next?
Shit, I Hit a Nerve. Better Talk About Art!
So dear reader(s) if you saw this blog last week you’ll know that, as an excuse to post all my paintings of the current occupant of the White House, I went on a rant about said moron. Shit, should I stop saying that? Nah, but apparently I hit a nerve with some people, which is… Continue reading Shit, I Hit a Nerve. Better Talk About Art!
Out Damned Trump!
I’m not gonna lie, writing a weekly blog about your own art is hard. What the hell do you write about without sounding narcissistic or self-indulgent? But they say if I want to sell art online I have to keep doing it. So today I’ll write about politics again, just because it’s on everyone’s mind.… Continue reading Out Damned Trump!
Drawing Cartoons Isn’t that Damned Easy!
I’m not gonna lie, I love painting and drawing and visual art in general. Sure, some contemporary art can be challenging, baffling and, let’s face it, boring. But a lot of the conceptual stuff is pretty interesting. But hey, I went to art school and then grad school so maybe I’m a little bit indoctrinated… Continue reading Drawing Cartoons Isn’t that Damned Easy!
The Election in Those Damned United States. Plus Art!
So loyal reader(s), I don’t know if you heard, but there was an election in the United States a couple of weeks ago. If you are American, please don’t be offended by my use of the the word “damned” in my title for this post, it’s just that the United States has just had far… Continue reading The Election in Those Damned United States. Plus Art!
Hellz Yeah! 100 Portraits in 2020! It Could Never Have Happened in Any Other Year
So a few weeks ago I mused about the possibility of running a Kickstarter to to raise some money so that I can finish 2020 with at least 100 portrait paintings. I’ve pretty much decided that I’m not going to do that, mostly because I’m fairly certain without a proper count (I know, keep better… Continue reading Hellz Yeah! 100 Portraits in 2020! It Could Never Have Happened in Any Other Year
Trump has COVID, Not an Excuse to Have a Laugh, but What the Hell?
So I’m writing this on the morning that the world learned that Donald and Melania Trump have COVID-19. I guess that means that Trump is, to paraphrase him “positive in a negative sense.” But who would’ve guessed that would happen? I mean, they were doing everything they possibly could to keep it away. Like magical… Continue reading Trump has COVID, Not an Excuse to Have a Laugh, but What the Hell?
