RAP GOD  (SOLD)

48″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

Is there a Jesus?  Is there a God?  Is there nothing?  I like to believe that there is some sort of higher power out there.  I’m not sure who or what it is or what to even call it, but I like the sound of God.  I like the religious stories that have been passed down through time.  I don’t think Lil’ Wayne is Jesus or God, but who am I to say.  What if God is in all of us at some time or another?  What if he/she just jumps from one body to the next?  Maybe that is how people become “God-like”.  Maybe that is when people actually reach their full potential.

RAINBOW WARRIORS

12″ x 12″ Mixed Media on Canvas

 

 

The battle is brewing, but it’s only just begun.  The rainbow warriors are ready to fight for their rights to be free like the rest of us under the sun.  We are all just human beings.  How can anyone tell us how to live, who to love and what is really right or wrong?  Live free!  Love the one you want!  Be yourself!

WAR

24″ x 36″ Aerosol on Metal

 

 

Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war.  And until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the color of a man’s skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes.  And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war.  And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained… now everywhere is war.  ~ Haile Selassie

JAM BAND  (SOLD)

36″ x 60″ Mixed Media on Aluminum

 

They’re not in it for the money.  They don’t care if there’s a crowd.  They’re out there in the world.  They play their music loud.  They don’t even have a name, but you can help them out.  If you are so lucky, it’s your title fans will shout.  This isn’t a contest, but I’m open to hearing some cool band names.  I might even change the title of this piece if the name sounds right.

WRONG WAY TURTLE

12″ x 12″ Mixed Media on Canvas

 

 

This little turtle is headed the wrong way, or he is just a rebel, or he is just a turtle and doesn’t really pay attention to things like directional arrows.  Maybe there is no turtle.  Anyways, I made him with some house paint (the background) and some spray paint (the black designs).  I placed some plastic and wooden shapes in specific spots on my canvas and let the paint flow.

TP

12″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Omega Bond

Taking care of the morning business gives you some time to think about things.  For me, I looked at the Charmin and thought… what can I do with this,  I think I will try spray painting individual sheets and see if they will stick to Omega Bond when they dry.  Well they did and it gave me the background for this piece.  Thank goodness there’s a Costco in town.

COLOR CHECK

12″ x 12″ Mixed Media on Canvas

 

 

Like The Color Marsh, I took this canvas to the studio floor first.  After mushing it into the paint I was left with the colors.  Then I took a grip pad that normal people use to keep their runners in place and laid it over my canvas.  Finally, I sprayed it with some black spray paint for the checkered pattern.

CREEPY CRAYON MELT

12″ x 12″ Crayon on Canvas

 

 

Before I made the Crayola Melt I made this one.  Though I like the Crayola Melt I like the Creepy Crayon Melt even more.  These crayons were peeled before I glued them down and I think that is why they slid down the canvas while being melted.  I also used a little spray paint for the black areas.  I’m starting to like things that have a sloppier look to them for some reason.  I would like to try something on a larger scale and maybe have some sort of image in my next melt.

3 COLOR SPLATTER

18″ x 18″ Mixed Media on Omega Bond

 

3 Color Splatter is a little test I was doing with spray paint that I thought ended up looking kind of cool.  The “canvas” was from a mess up at work and still has vinyl lettering on it.  I was planning to add more to it, but I didn’t want to ruin the mess.

HORIZON

12″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

My favorite part of this painting are all of the dots that cover it.  At first there were zero dots and just the reds and blues.  Then I found a board with holes in it, laid it over the panel and spray painted in some light yellow dots.  Still not enough.  So, I covered it with a bunch of white dots and started to like it a lot more.  I wanted to put more, but didn’t want to get too carried away.

CHOPPED GRAFFITI

18″ x 36″ Aerosol on Corrugated Plastic

 

 

After laying down my colors with spray paint there was something I did not like about my picture.  So, while it was still wet I started “chopping” at it with the side of a board to add some lines to it.  There are also texture lines from the corrugated plastic which I think are a cool effect.

SKELOFLOWERS  (SOLD)

24″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Wood

Like my earlier post of Explosive Flower Field, Skeloflowers is a mini fireworks show mixed with flowers.  The white reminds me of a skeleton or an x-ray.  Originally there was no white paint on this and I was going to sell it that way, but it was not finished in my mind.  I couldn’t do it.  Now that it is finished I think it is ready for it’s new home.

YELLOW DRIPS

24″ x 36″ Aerosol on Mirror

 

 

You won’t be able to see yourself in this mirror.  Well, you might be able to if you are on something.  Then this painting could get really interesting for you.  Yellow Drips is what it sounds like.  It’s dripping spray paint set up in a specific way with a touch of an empty paint can for the circles.  There are circles in there… I think… or maybe I’m drippin’.
