24″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Wood
When I fall down, I need a helping hand. And when I lose my head, it’s cause it’s always buried in the sand. When I get stuck on myself, feelin’ sorry for myself. Will you help me grab a hold and please don’t patronize my soul. When I start to lose control, when I get irrational, when I start to get too high, you see me come floating by, I say… Touch me in the morning sun, when I feel impossible. Touch me in the morning sun, show me what is possible. Touch me in the morning sun when I feel impossible, show me what is possible. ~Michael Franti

LOVE GROWS (SOLD)
24″ x 36″ Mixed on Wood
We couldn’t tell the precise moment when our love was formed. Seeds had been planted a long time ago. Rain came to water them every day. Drop by drop by drop. Sun shined down to give it strength. Making the roots burst through our souls and reach out intertwining to form a love so strong. A love that will spread new seeds to grow. A love that will last. A love that I love. Drip-drop, drip-drop, drip…
11 VERTICALS
24″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Wood
When the world has turned Paralyzed and wrong Cold-blooded claws never offer Anything at all Past the point of love Shattered and untied Waiting to pick up the pieces That make it out alright But pieces of what? Pieces of what Pieces of what doesn’t matter anymore Moonlight on my floor Shining through the roof They got the city surrounded As if I needed proof I forgot my fear… Feel it’s on the rise… Buried by all of the pieces… Falling from the sky But pieces of what? Pieces of what Pieces of what doesn’t matter anymore ~MGMT
JUST AN ARTIST
24″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Wood
I am not the best artist of this generation. I am not the worst artist of this generation. I am just an artist that is part of this generation. I am just an artist that makes what he feels at that point in time. I am not the one who will be the judge of my work. People will say they like my work. People will say they hate my work. Either way it doesn’t matter in the end. What will matter is that I did something true to my heart & soul. What will matter is that I did something that made me happy. What will matter is that I tried, I gave my mind & time to something I love. I gave my heart & soul, my mind & time, my love… I was here & I did something with my life… ~mijumi

What if I…? How could she…? Maybe I should have…? Why don’t we…? Don’t fret. Don’t let… all of these questions that get. Stuck in your head for days and days. Eat away at your mind in so many different ways. How can your thoughts become your own worst enemy? Where do we go when it’s all over? How do I get back to the sea? How will this all turn out? Who am I supposed to be? All of these questions keep comin’ back around. All of these questions can bring me to the ground. Why?
RED EYE
24″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Wood
It is not known exactly what causes the Great Red Spot’s reddish color. Theories supported by laboratory experiments suppose that the color may be caused by complex organic molecules, red phosphorus, or yet another sulfur compound. The Great Red Spot (GRS) varies greatly in hue, from almost brick-red to pale salmon, or even white. The reddest central region is slightly warmer than the surroundings, which is the first evidence that the Spot’s color is affected by environmental factors. The spot occasionally disappears from the visible spectrum, becoming evident only through the Red Spot Hollow, which is its niche in the South Equatorial Belt. The visibility of GRS is apparently coupled to the appearance of the SEB; when the belt is bright white, the spot tends to be dark, and when it is dark, the spot is usually light. ~Jupiter
C U IN THE STORM
24″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Wood
For some reason some of my paintings remind me of storms. Snow storms or rain storms either gently falling flakes or with drops fiercely exploding. I liked the colors in the Radiating Beauty painting and got pretty good feed back so, I wanted to try something different with similar colors. I used some half circle tubes in this one. That’s where the C and U come from. The storm is coming…
INTO THE 80’s
24″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Wood
Gremlins, Goonies & Ghostbusters. Growing Pains, Punky Brewster & Voltron. Hammer Pants, tight rolled jeans & Jams shorts. Samba Classics, white high-top sneakers & Patrick Ewings. Getting a flat-top with a fade, lines on the sides & shaving the Nike flight symbol into the back of my head. Those were the 80’s for me. What were yours…?
LIFE CYCLE
24″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Wood
Is it pre-determined? Is it all a matter of chance? Does everything happen for a reason? Why do the good ones have to die young? He lived to be 100 years old and ate oatmeal everyday. She was only 13 and had the whole world ahead of her. I can’t believe he’s gone. It seems like only yesterday. Do we all have our own life cycles? Is it written? Can we break the cycle? Can we change the future?
GIRAFFADOOR
24″ x 84″ Mixed Media on Door
A skinny tall door was the perfect place for this giraffe like pattern. So, Giraffadoor was born. I like painting on doors now. They are a good size canvas and there are always people on Craig’s List getting rid of them. If anyone has any extra doors layin’ around let me know.
ROSARIO
22″ x 24″ Aerosol on Wood
My wife thinks that I’m making art with celebrities on it so that I can end up meeting them. That might not be a bad idea. Thanks wife. It’s not part of the plan, but if any of these find their way into a celeb’s hands it couldn’t hurt in helping the cause. Rosario is my second choice anyways, so she’s got nothing to worry about.
