To the left of my desk.

All the images in the picture are my woks with the exception of the brown toned oil painting in the top left corner which is a gnarly piece by my friend/fantastic painter, Michael Ryan. Check his stuff out. http://www.michaelryanart.com/

Sketchbook.

My desk on Thanksgiving.

I promptly grabbed the lit candle in the background and tilted it to myself to light it thinking it was unlit, only to spill wax across my latest work. I think it adds a little something nice to the piece however.

Breakfast.

This is a painting entitled "Breakfast" I did a while back. The piece was done using the mixed media process I had developed in my college days. I met a very lovely couple from Ireland who were kind enough to purchase the piece from me. The woman told me that they were going to put the painting over their small two person table in their kitchen where they ate breakfast together everyday.

Recognize this guy?

If you look a little bit, you will notice that I drew a set of curved teeth where the neck is now represented and drawn over. That was my initial reaction relating to composition, but decided those proportions were too predictable so I drew a pair of lips and a nose. From there I decided the dude just plain old needed a mask. So I put one on him. I later modified this piece digitally for a coloring book project with Super Dudes Justin Gray and Peter Wonsowski. I miss those two guys a lot.
