Cloud Sky Painting
July 23, 2012
Today I took photos of my painting process. I am trying to resolve some older paintings that had no idea where they were going. A horizon line always helps me to focus. So, here are some Van Gogh-esque clouds over a colorful body of water. I’ve started to literally draw right on the canvas with [...]

On gray days the colors are brighter.
February 10, 2011
For most all of today, the sky was gray. Living in Tampa, here in the Sunshine State, I can appreciate a gray day. I don’t think I could do it for very long stretches of time, though. I do feel affected by the weather- I do love the sun. But, the gray days can be [...]

Posting, posting…123
February 8, 2011
Most of the commitments that I make to do something daily end up with me breaking them. Why is that? Could it be that I make unrealistic expectations of myself, or that I feel compelled to rebel, or worse yet…some sort of self-sabotage. Well, whatever it is…I don’t plan to analyze it long. I’d [...]

This is an interesting challenge I have given myself. I can tell this is already going to have a breakthrough effect on my work. Here’s a Pink Sky piece that may or may not be done… we shall see.

Pepto Bismol Commercial
January 28, 2011
I was cast to be the “casting director” for this Pepto Bismol commercial shot in Budapest. My job was to teach all of the ‘contestants’ to say “Nausea, Heartburn, Indigestion, Upset Stomach, Diarrhea” and cheer them on as they auditioned. Most of the people did not speak a lick of English. This project took [...]

Sea Changes Paintings
January 28, 2011
These paintings are inspired from pinhole photographs taken off the coast of Sicily. All four of them were taken from the same place where my feet began to sink into the sand, just at the edge of the water. I pointed the camera directly downwards in order to record the motion of the tide; each [...]

Cake Mix
January 28, 2011
Excerpt from “Cake Mix”, 2003 In this experimental video, the camera is placed inside an American diner-style revolving cake display. As the foreground focuses on the texture and colors of the cakes, the background rotates from scenes inside the diner to outside the windows. Keeping with the idea of spinning, the audio track plays a [...]
