MONKEY SEE
8.5″ x 11″ Pen on Paper & Digital Image
I was sitting and relaxing in the hotel room in Asheville, NC after filming a wedding and staring at this picture on the wall from across the room. I knew it was a picture of flowers, but from where I was sitting I saw something much different. I saw a monkey. So, I start sketching him out. The petals were his ear & leg and the space between the petals were his eyes & body. I still see him in the flowers every time I look.
SLEEP WITH ANGELS
Digital Image of Drawing and Photo
I was planning on using these 2 images on 2 different days, but thought it might be more interesting if they were combined. I based my drawing off of a model’s picture online and I took the photo while in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. Combined I think they make a great statement. I just don’t know what it is.
SIMPLE LIVING
4″ x 5.5″ Inkjet Print over Sheet Metal
I haven’t posted any photos yet and thought this would be a good place to start. Some of you may recognize this photo from our (Nicole & me) Costa Rica trip. I made a print on clear vinyl and applied it to a piece of sheet metal. It gives it a vintage feel which I love. I just want to sit in that chair with a coffee and a book and relax for the rest of the morning.
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.
HOBO ALIEN MOUSE

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.
DRIFTER

If you know who Rob Machado (my half brother, I think) is then this might remind you of him. It reminded me of him and that is why I call this piece Drifter. Rob starred in the movie The Drifter as himself and for a surfer playing a surfer did a great job. If you haven’t seen it it’s worth the time in my opinion. Anyways, if anyone out there knows Rob and sees this, I ask that you share it with him and let him know that I am still in search of and want to meet my half brother.
