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.

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.

LIVE UP

Rastaman live up. Bongoman don’t give up. Congoman live up, yeah. Binghi-man don’t give up.  Keep your culture. Don’t be afraid of the vulture. Grow your dread lock. Don’t be afraid of the wolf-pack.

FLOWERS ECLIPSED

12″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Omega Bond

 

 

I don’t believe I’ve made any flowers in my style in a while.  Hopefully these will satisfy what you’ve been missin’ and make you smile.  I know this eclipse is not really blinding, well that is what I’m finding.  I know that my rhyming may be off on its timing, but I hope you’re enjoying it and not really minding.

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!
