Some counter tops waiting for sanding . . .
A little client work, 10x18, WIP, acrylic . . . I used to live there.

Head


Started on a new 36"x36" block, which would be the largest to date. It'll be another Caleb and Jacob image. There's a lot of carving to do on this block—this is a detail of Caleb's face, approximately 6"x7".

In the studio, finally'

48x40 . . . PINK

Finally got up to the studio to work on something unrelated to a home improvement project (kitchen & bathroom upgrades / repairs amongst others . . . New butcher block counter tops to the left). Put down some thick flat enamel to start something new. No clue where this is going to go, but that is part of the fun. To be continued . . .

A print from a few weeks back thar I do not remember posting . . . So, two color screen print on vintage map.

Some experimenting with graphite, colored pencil and WD40. There is also some permanent marker off to the side.

Godson/Brother






Small print of Jonathan and his son, Andrew. I never know what to do with certain images from my cell phone that I want to paint/draw/make with. The image reference on this one in particular was a bit troublesome because it seemed so "typical"—smiling, etc. But the carving seem to solve for the predictability of the pose, at least for me. Anyway, what may have been the most interesting experiment tonight was printing on the shirt I was using for a rag.
