Electric Windows, Beacon, NY, May 17th & 18th
Posted: May 8, 2008
I'm still bitching and moaning about not being at "The Cans Festival" in London last weekend. I almost dropped everything to get out there but I wasn't allotted a space. It would have been a big trip to make and not have an area to work in, but anyway... I'm going to focus on the task at hand.
The weekend of May 17th, 24 Street artists will converge on Beacon NY to paint 24 - 8' x 12' murals that when completed, will be installed in the windows of a vacant 19th century factory. The street will be closed off all day Saturday the 17th and visitors will be able to listen to live music and watch artists create their pieces. That weekend there will also be a gallery show at OPEN SPACE featuring many of the artists involved in the windows project.
Artists involved include: Above, Chris Stain, Cycle, Dan Funderburgh, Daryll Pierce, Depoe, Elbow Toe, Jim Darling, ILOVEMYBOO, Lady Pink, Michael De Feo, Mr Kiji, Peripheral Media Projects, Pete Wollenger, Rene Gagnon, Rick Price, Ripo, Ron English, Tes One, The Love Movement, Tina Darling, Ultra, UPSO, You Are Beautiful
I'll be there all day on Saturday to paint and party. Get all the info here: ELECTRIC WINDOWS BEACON
Mona Bubble
Posted: May 3, 2008
A few weeks ago I grabbed some bubble wrap, a couple of syringes, and
some liquid acrylic paint and started injecting the cells with pigent.
The effect is pretty wild, it produces somewhat of a pixelated look,
but at the same time it has this generic feel because of the shinyness
of the plastic. Anyway I was contemplating the first image I was going
to create using this technique, and first thing that popped into my
head was Mona Lisa (everyone else has done a version, why not me) I
was so impressed with the visual result with the bubble wrap that I
decided it's worth a reproduction of sorts.
Canvas editions available in the small canvas store. Paper versions
in the print store.

As most of my supporters and fans know I've been a bit busy lately making
prints and limited edition canvas series with some of my more representational
imagery. Which is all fine and dandy because it's giving be some cash
to put back into my work (and get out of debt) but at times it does
stifle my creative juices. Finding the balance between making money
and "flipping
out" on
canvas is tricky because sometimes you get side tracked and find yourself
in a frenzy trying to crank out the next best thing that will sell,
which is something I tried getting away from when I painted "Birth
of the Forth Valley". I guess it's a vicous circle no artist
can escape. But MAKE NO MISTAKE, the blurry guy you see below is who
I am.
Back to Basics
Posted: March 8, 2008
This morning I noticed this beautiful crack in the sidewalk and realized
I'm not going to able to do this forever. It sucks that theres a number
that exists out there that defines just how many pieces the world will
see from me. So today I got back to basics.
