mijumi Pollock

8″ x 10″ Mixed Media on Paper

 

 

Most people think that anyone can do what Jackson Pollock did as an artist.  I agree that they think they can do it, but disagree that they actually can.  Yeah, you can make something the same way he did, but can you get people to embrace it the way he did?  Can you produce different ideas in the same style the way he did?  Can you use the right colors?  Can you work this way day in and day out and make one painting look different than the next?  Jackson Pollock was a genius… deal with it.  I just wanted to bite his style for a minute to see what it was like.

TOOTINBACHER’S KIWI

10″ x 10″ Mixed Media on Paper

My friend Nick’s (Tootinbacher) favorite fruit is kiwi.  There are a few slices of kiwi in this painting floating around trying to get their seeds back.  Help us Tootinbacher… you complete us.  We love you.  Don’t eat us… no… no…  Okay this is getting weird.

ONE

10″ x 10″ Mixed Media on Paper

 

 

Usually I don’t have a plan while I’m painting, but this time I did.  Then when I thought I was following the pattern I wanted to make I noticed something.  I made a mistake.  Can you find it?  I guess it adds character to it.  Without the mistake it would just be a pattern. Click here to see the ONE.

RASTAMAN VIBRATIONS

24″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

Rastaman Vibrations… Positive!  I felt like this title was an appropriate name seeing how I’ve got the Rasta colors (green, yellow, red) in it and they seem to be vibrating out.  The Rastaman is casting his spell of positive vibes to all… negative thinking.. don’t you waste your thoughts!

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.

CIRCUS DRIPS

32″ x 36″  Mixed Media on Wall Panel 

 

Sometimes when a painting gets a name it may not make sense to anyone but the person who created it.  For some reason the name Circus Drips was the perfect title for this piece.  I have no real reason other than when I see these colors I think circus.  Watch out for the clowns Michele.

FUNKY TILE FLOOR

48″ x 96″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

This is the largest painting I have made so far.  The more I paint the more I enjoy working on larger scale pieces.  They do take way more time and probably don’t suit what I’m trying to accomplish, but I can’t get enough.  I guess it’s a win win either way.

IN THE TREE

16″ x 20″ Mixed Media on Canvas

 

I remember climbing trees all the time when I was younger.  Testing the limits of each branch while I tried to get as close to the top as I could.  If my mom saw this she probably would have had a heart attack.  Don’t worry ma, now I play it safe and will just try to paint one here and there.

Mixed Media on Fabric

 

 

This the other shirt that I sent down to Georgia for my little bro.  My friend Bodley said on the right fabric, in the right store that these shirts could fetch around $100.  That would be something, but I’ll leave the sales up to him.  I feel like I’m getting robbed paying $12 for a t-shirt.  I might buy mine for $11 though.
