VOODOO BOB
9″ x 12″ Marker & Pen
Don’t worry… about a thing… cuz every little thing… gonna be alright. Even as a voodoo style drawing Mr. Marley still looks pretty cool. Listening to his music gets me thinking about what I want my “legacy” to be. What will I leave behind for people to remember me by when I’m gone? Maybe that is what this project is about. It’s allowing me to tap into my creativity and leave some sort of lasting impression and/or inspiration to people. Only Time Will Tell…
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.
BLACK FLOWERS (GIFTED)
8″ x 10″ Mixed Media on Paper
Usually when I’m working on a large painting I have a smaller one going next to it at the same time. This is a smaller more simple version of some of the flower paintings I’ve been making.
COILS
10″ x 10″ Mixed Media on Paper
Coils is called Coils because of the… coils I used to make parts of it. The coil part is from the base of a Christmas decoration my wife found at the Salvation Army. It was one of the many used gifts I’ve been using to create these paintings.
WIZOCEROUS
8.5″ x 11″ Pen on Notebook Paper
This could be fun. I don’t know what to say about this one so I’m going to need your help. I will replace the text here with your words for it. Submit them on the ideas page to be included. Make sure you write Wizocerous somewhere in your submission. Good luck…
SURF DOG

Surf Dog travels the world in search of the best breaks in the best spots. Here he is spotted at Salsa Brava in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica.
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.
SIMPLE CIRCLES
16″ x 20″ Mixed Media on Canvas
Simple Circles is a gift to my brother Marco. It is filled with circles of paint that were created with various sizes of cardboard tubes. I see an overhead view of open paint cans in this one. How ’bout you?
DREAMIN

I’m really getting into making these faces. I love that they are simple shapes all meshed together to create something. It’s kind of how Chuck Close works. By no means am I comparing myself to Chuck. His work is simple shapes up close and then when you stand back the images appear. My drawings are not on the same scale as his are, but are similar in the way that they evolve.
OVALS
26″ x 38″ Mixed Media on Wood
This painting is one of my favorites so far. The wood was actually a box for a 24″ x 36″ brass plaque we had sent in for a customer at work. The box was going to be trashed, but I saved it and painted it up.
mijumi Peace T
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.
HAIR PIECE
16″ x 20″ Mixed Media on Canvas
If you don’t know it yet, I am obsessed with hair. Hair styles, beards, wizard beards, afros, braids, locks, cornrows, fades, etc. I had to try painting something with some big hair in it and here it is.
I KNOW I SAW 1 IN THERE
18″ x 20″ Mixed Media on Acrylic
When I look at this painting I just feel like I should be searching for something in it. Like it is a Where’s Waldo book or something. Maybe I should have hid him in there. Maybe I did… hmmm.
HOBO ALIEN MOUSE
Digital Image of Drawing & Photo
This drunk little guy is Hobo Alien Mouse. He started as a doodle (in a meeting, obviously) and then got scanned into my files. I had taken the background picture while walking around in Northampton, MA. and combined them for this picture. He may have his vices, but is in search of change… or he just happened to sit down there and was not able to get back up.
BIRCHES
12″ x 12″ Mixed Media on Canvas
I was in the Dollar Tree the other day looking for things to use as painting tools when I came across this shape. It’s a triangle with a circle cut out of it and is made of wax. They were selling it as a ring crayon for kids. You slide the ring on your finger and then you can draw with it. I’m using it here to create the trunks of trees for my small forrest.
