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!

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.

What the Hell is a Frost Shield and How did it Cause Such a Kerfuffle?
I’m not gonna lie. I live in a really cold place. I mean, it gets really cold. You might be surprised to know that on Saturday the temperature hit 29°C (84°F). It was glorious and that’s not even all that warm for us. It can actually get pretty hot in the summer.

Caricature? Why the Hell Not?
I wasn’t one of those kids who drew obsessively. When I was younger I had a friend that I would draw with, but just before I turned 12 we moved away and I mostly stopped drawing. I still drew cartoons occasionally—I never really cared to draw anything else, but I guess I needed the push… Continue reading Caricature? Why the Hell Not?
Copyright Violation or What the Hell Happened to Fair Use? Titling Part II
Last week I mentioned how I am inclined to give my paintings funny titles, but I’ve been resisting that lately. If you’ve been reading this blog, you’ve seem my painting of Elizabeth II with a part corgi face. Of course, I wanted that to have a funny title, but I did some research and gave… Continue reading Copyright Violation or What the Hell Happened to Fair Use? Titling Part II
