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!
I Finally Counted my Damn Paintings!
I’ve mentioned in this blog that I’ve decided to set a goal of creating one hundred paintings in 2020, mostly because it really started to seem like it was achievable. And guess what? I finally did a proper count of my work. I’ve mentioned before that I didn’t keep a good record of what I’ve… Continue reading I Finally Counted my Damn Paintings!
When the Hell Do You Call a Painting Done?
On occasion I’m asked: “when do you consider a painting to be finished?” Of course that’s a question that a lot of painters get. And I guess the answer if kind of simple: when it looks finished. When I can stand back and say: “that’s what I wanted.” Well, maybe it’s more like” “that’s pretty… Continue reading When the Hell Do You Call a Painting Done?
What the Hell Kind of TV do I Watch?
So there was a time that I was one of those people. Well, kind of. You know the people I’m talking about. The I’m-too-good-for-TV people. The ones who proudly tell you “I don’t own a TV.” Now I’m not gonna lie, there’s never been a time when I didn’t own a TV. But there was… Continue reading What the Hell Kind of TV do I Watch?
What the Hell is it with Caricature?
As my regular reader(s) knows, I have of late been using caricature as a starting point for my pop-culture paintings rather than regular portraits. And I’m having a lot of fun with it, but I’m certainly not the greatest caricaturist in the world. I mean there are amazing ones out there. But, as I’ve written… Continue reading What the Hell is it with Caricature?
