Untitled

I have been producing quite a few watercolors recently. They allow me to work quickly and experiment with color and technique. This has been an invaluable source of production for me as I have been really interested in the amount of information that we absorb on a hourly/daily/weekly basis and how we process that information. The internet has compounded the amount and speed in which information is passed from a source to a viewer. How does all of this news and imagery affect us? I hope to explore this question in a series of works in which different pieces of imagery will be composed to create a dialogue about how we process information.

Vallarta Quemadura

Down in Mexico they broadcast Lucha Libre (free wrestling) every night and it is really fun to watch. The masks are especially interesting.

Brain Burn (thanks for the title Z)



This is a new oil painting (8 x 10 inches). It has been almost two years since I have smelled the linseed oil and I am really enjoying it. This painting is the first of a series that has been living in my head for a long time. I anticipate some large paintings for this series which I am really excited about.

Burnt

This is a watercolor based on a photo taken in Yellowstone National Park 2002. The five year old remains of a bad forest fire.
