Round and Round

In the studio

clUSTER

where disparate remnants and unrealized idea's go to talk about the future or the way things used to be, or whatever, potential new-pieces talk about when they're put together in wasteland congregation.

Bought these ready made animal masks, commence massacre..

they have a life, they have a soul.

Such a forbidden sight did our hero see
that he was turned into a evergreen tree

In an effort to get back to what this blog was originally intended to be about, I'm planning on posting more regularly things I'm working on each day.

These may not be any epic, realized, master works here, it'll be more about the day to day, the dailies I'll call them.

Bringing It back

Yes making I'm art still.

In the Studio

Here's a peek into what I'm working on during this seasonal resurrection. 

.Praise its name. Light.

In the Studio

I feel compelled, obliged, to recommend the latest Terry Gilliam film, 'Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus'.
Enter the Imaginarium
If you crave the strange or hunger for the unusual in film like I do, then there is little possibility that you will come out of this film feeling like you did not get the full family dinner plate of fantastical.  Terry's talent for visual assault is heightened to a new level in this picture I feel, with the script lending to some of the most, 'in there' dreamy imagery I can remember seeing in a long while.  Really, it's kind of like walking into someones lucid dream projected onto a large screen.


In more pertinent news, thought I'd show you a couple pieces I have going in the studio right now:

This one is cropped from the larger piece.  It keeps changing; right now I think it's going to be about a group of fictional, inter-dimensional adepts gathered together in a throne room...?

This started from a cut-off of another piece.  I walked into the studio and saw this discarded piece of paper with scribbled lines on it from a previous drawing and began drawing into what the markings suggested to me.  Right now it seems to consist of imaginary sea creatures and totem birds clustered in the foreground with a distant background suggesting impending doom (not shown in this picture).

Studio Visit

'Please come in.  Thank you for coming to visit.  Would you like something to drink?  A glass of shiraz, tea?'

'Yes these are some of the things I'm working on now.  This is a collaborative book I'm drawing in with Joy Payton.  Here is a painting of some astronauts examining alien plant life.  Yes this is a monster devouring humans.  Oh these are sketches for a painting commission I'm starting.
Oh yes these are some of the etching plates I have going.  Here are the proofs so far...'

'Yeah, it was good to see you too.  Thank you for coming.'
