TROIS

12″ x 12″ Aerosol on Canvas

 

 

3.  It’s a magic number.  Yes it is.  Well, at least in a Jack Johnson song it is.  In my life it is too.  Part of one of my nick names has 003 in it, because I am the 3rd member of the Husslafunk Mob.  That’s right, I’m in a mob (don’t try to google it, we’re off the grid).  I’m also the 1st of three brothers in my family.  The third time is a charm.  Of course there is more, but I don’t want to fill the page :)

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.

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.

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…

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!

WRONG WAY TURTLE

12″ x 12″ Mixed Media on Canvas

 

 

This little turtle is headed the wrong way, or he is just a rebel, or he is just a turtle and doesn’t really pay attention to things like directional arrows.  Maybe there is no turtle.  Anyways, I made him with some house paint (the background) and some spray paint (the black designs).  I placed some plastic and wooden shapes in specific spots on my canvas and let the paint flow.
