WORD

One word can mean so much in the world we live in. One word can make or break a person’s day. These things have power, so be careful what you say.

WHAT I WANTED
11″ x 15″ Mixed Media on Watercolor Paper
This is not what I wanted to draw. This is not what I wanted to paint. Or is it? Is it the other way around? This is what I wanted to draw. This is what I wanted to paint. I don’t know which I wanted to do or not do, but this is what I came up with.

LINES & DOTS
18″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Canvas
This is a test of the lines and dots system. First I dropped down some verticals. Then I crossed over them horizontally. The grid looked pretty good by itself, but needed a little more. I put a peg board on top of it and dragged red paint over the board. This let the red settle into position to finish off Lines & Dots.

YOUNG COCONUTS
18″ x 24″ Digital Image on Metal
If you ‘ve ever been to Maui, HI and been on The Road to Hana, you know about all of its twists and turns. That road can give you car sickness if you’re on it for too long. Fortunately for us we stopped along the way and picked up some lunch and snacks. Fortunately for the “young coconuts” we spared them their lives so they could at least try to grow into adults.

GUARDIANS
24″ x 36″ Aerosol on Canvas
Sometimes I feel like there is something watching over me. Maybe it’s the spirits of people I used to know in this life. Maybe they are friends from lives past. But I know there is something. Something is watching out for me while I am here. Thanks guys.

LATE SPRING STORM
30″ x 44″ Mixed Media on Canvas
Where have all of our April showers been? I know it is early in the spring, but this is a Late Spring Storm. It’s got nothing on the storms hitting the Midwest right now. My prayers go out to everyone affected by the tornadoes. Stay safe and be strong.

WAITING (SOLD)
24″ x 44″ Mixed Media on Wood
Sometimes surfing is a waiting game. The ocean can be as flat as glass or crazy rough with waves coming from all directions. But we wait. We wait. And we wait some more. Because even if we only ride one wave that day, it make that day a whole lot better.

VICTORIAN MESS
10″ x 10″ Aerosol on Paper
I can’t stand Martha Stewart and I don’t know why. I do have to thank her though. I found a set of stencils in Home Depot that were from her company. She helped create this mess in a way. Thanks Martha.

COSBY SWEATER

We all remember Dr. Huxtable’s (Bill Cosby) awesome sweaters right? Well this is a tribute to those sweaters. People are actually having Cosby Sweater parties as you read this. Can you believe it?

3 BIRDS
18″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Canvas
Rise up this mornin’. Smiled with the risin’ sun. Three little birds Pitch by my doorstep. Singin’ sweet songs. Of melodies pure and true. Sayin’, “this is my message to you-ou-ou:” Singin’, “don’t worry about a thing. ‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright.”

THE VOODOO IN ME
18″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Canvas
I painted this as a gift to my dad for his b-day and hope it’s not creepin’ him out at night hangin’ on the wall. This might be the strangest pictures of one of his sons that he’s ever had. That’s right, I said, “pictures of one of his sons.” You couldn’t tell that this is a self portrait? Maybe you need to get the voodoo in you too…

ROB MACHADO
24″ x 36″ Mixed Media on Wood
Rob Machado is not just some “surfer dude” who hangs out in the water all day getting stoked on waves man. He is a person that cares about the environment and helping people. His foundation provides funding for educational programs focused on helping children understand their contribution towards a healthy earth (RMF). So, next time you think that these guys are just a bunch of beach bums, think again. Most of them care about this planet we live on and are trying to help preserve it.

A CONSCIOUSNESS
11″ x 15″ Marker & Pen on Watercolor Paper
I feel like I’m looking deep into somebody’s mind when I’m staring at this piece. What are the thoughts in there that you don’t know you’re thinking? What are dreams? What is real? Can we really tap into parts of our brain that doctors and scientists say we are not using? Maybe we’re not supposed to be able to use them. Maybe there’s a reason for that.

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.

HAPPY TOGETHER
8.5″ x 11″ Marker on Watercolor Paper
I spotted this lovely couple while walking to the cafe in the morning in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. He was rockin’ some swimming goggles, a scarf and a sweet mustache. She was in leopard skin tights, a flannel and hot pink hair. They were a match made of foam. They were a match made in heaven.
