Now it's done, that took a long time. On to the next. "The Perforation" 36" x 48", acrylic on canvas #art #painting #abstract

My agent, The Magnificent Mr Miso, is pleased with the progress being made so far on this current piece... even if it does cut into cuddle on the bed and play fetch with the toy time. Even with his limited visual color spectrum, he is a fierce judge of composition.

Been wrestling with this one for a while now, and finally completed it this weekend. I am not a religious person, more of an apatheist, but every painter takes a stab at a madonna once right? Even accidentally? Its a tradition. Madonna of the Garden 36" x 48", acrylic on canvas

The other painting I finished last weekend. I work on between 4-6 at a time, so sometimes they get finished at about the same time. "How CLose You Can Get Without Touching" 30" x 40", acrylic on canvas.

Another rainy Sunday paint-all-day. I had had a name for this, but I looked it's definition up and it did NOT mean what I thought it meant, so I guess I will have to stare at it for a while. Untitled 30" x 40", acrylic on canvas

My agent, pictured, is happy that I found a solid eight hours to spend uninterrupted in the studio. This is an unfinished work in progress, but it told me its name early on. 'How Close Can You Get Without Touching'. 30x40, acrylic on canvas.

Winter has been challenging, and I have had not much time in my tiny studio. My apologies for the dearth of posting. New paintings have been started, and hopefully the break will reenergize the work. Watch this space... Also:

"It is the duty of the artist to make the rebellion irresistible". ~Audre Lorde

This is a print I made a few years back. The sky is an orthographic map of my neighborhood, and the moon is a satellite map that linses up perfectly. The building is an iconic derelict coal tower. 16" x 20", satin photo paper. Edition of 50.

If I spent half as much time thinking about why I make art as I do making it, I would probably be a little more successful getting it out there. My house is filling up, and little tiny jpegs don't do them justice. "Phantasm" 36" x 48", acrylic on canvas.

Maybe a few more touches needed, and definitely need a better photo, but here's the latest. Looks pretty dang good in person, if I may disabuse myself of imposter syndrome for half a goddamn minute. You just gotta see these things in real life. "Lost in the Crowd" 30" x 40", acrylic on canvas.

Meant to further develop the squares idea, but the brushes had other plans. I sometimes fear that I have no identifiable 'style'. Oh well, so it it goes. I suppose the important part is to just keep making, & trust that it will all sort itself out. "Ghosts in the Grass" 30" x 40", acrylic on canvas

I am trying to break up my style a little bit, see where it goes. This is where it went. Im not a huge fan of the name, but thats what it told me it was and was quite adamant. So... "Urban Planning" 30" x 40", acrylic on canvas

It was a doing cat dad stuff morning. The Marvelous Mr. Miso assumed his safety post and scanned the vet's office for interlopers. An intruder was identified, but was later determined to be non-threatening. All in all, everyone was very brave.

Data as seen as an asemic written language that we are falling helplessly through; a harrowing yet colorful state of affairs. The bad news is that you too are falling, the good news is there is no ground. All 24" x 30", acrylic on canvas.

My life is a complex array of textures and chaos. And cats. Coming soon, the falling series. Sorry it’s been a while, but these new joints take time.

Loving this new thing. Closest I’ve gotten to the ketamine hallucinations I had after heart surgery. “What I Brought Back” 36” x 48”, acrylic on canvas #art #abstract #painting

First day of 53rd grade! #art #funk #selfie

Now this one's done. It took... a while. "Vascular Fenestra" 30" x 40", acrylic on canvas. #art #painting #abstract

KInda want to stop here because I like it... but if I push it, it could be spectacular. Or it could become overworked. Its an age old dilemma, one I am ill suited to solving. Untitled Work in Progress 36" x 48", acrylic on canvas. #art #painting #abstract

Now Im sure its done. Better, right? "An Elaborate Portrait of a Dog" 30" x 40", acrylic on canvas #art #abstract #painting #contemporaryart

Not sure if its done but been working so long on it I need to take a break. Super hard to photograph under my janky studio lights. The center is amazing. "An Elaborate Portrait of a Dog" 30" x 40", acrylic on canvas. #art #painting #abstract

Very difficult to catch all three in one frame. Max, Miso, and Simon. #cat #catsky

"SF Llama" 18" x 24", ink on paper [20 of a signed, numbered edition of 100 on 8mil satin photo paper available] #art #illustration #posterart

You young chirruns with your canva and your midjourney... back in my day, if you were dealing with digital images, you eventually had to face the dogcow. If you know you know. www.escisme.com/shop/p/cowdog #dogcow #tshirtart

Finished a new one, and its a killer. Closest I have come to the ketamine hallucinations I experienced in the hospital after my heart surgery. "The Treasure Map" 30x40", acrylic on canvas #art #painting #abstract #contemporary

Finished a new one. I like it. Kinda has a midcentury modern tiki biology slide vibe to it. "Somatoglyph" 30x40", acrylic on canvas #art #painting #abstract #contemporary

Working out the details on making some process videos, some time lapse, some real time with talking, with the eventual goal of documenting a painting all the way through from blank to varnish. Would this be of interest? ❒ Yes ❒ No #art #painting #abstract

"Rainbow River" 18" x 24", ink on paper With apologies to the Tlingit. #art #illustration #posterart

The four guardians are watching over this untitled work in progress. Thank goodness someone is. #art #painting #abstract

Love that boy.

"The Magic Number" 24" x 30", acrylic on canvas #art #painting #abstract

"Door Number two" 36" x 48", acrylic on canvas #art #painting #abstract [limited edition prints available - see first comment]

"Mysterium Tempus" 36" x 48", acrylic on canvas #art #painting #abstract

The latest completion. Quite proud of this one. Really sings in person. "Six Eclipses" 36" x 48" , acrylic on canvas. #art #painting #abstract

'Untitled' 24" x 30" acrylic on canvas #art #painting #abstract

Someone thinks I should be dispensing treats rather than staring at my latest completion in a fugue state. #cat #catsofbluesky #abstract #painting

Been wrestling with this one off and on for well over a year and I think I finally got it balanced. One of my two ongoing problem children is finally reformed. Nice. "Heart Like a Wheel" 36" x 48" , acrylic on canvas. #art #painting #abstract

Mr Miso glamor shot.

I had triple bypass surgery last September. I am quite lucky to be alive. I have been working on a heart painting. I will make some giclee prints to give to the many folks and departments that helped me get through it. "Heart" 24" x 30", acrylic on canvas #art #painting

My house is complicated. There are many containers full of random curiosities. It is an organizational nightmare. I am trying to streamline my life in general, but I am overwhelmed. Here are the contents of one random small tupperware box. Not trash, but... what?

In between the winter, when my underwear is thermal and the summer time when the temperature’s infernal there is a little spot - just a momentary kernel that is so very pleasant, its the equinox, vernal

“Ambiguous Resonance” 30" x 40””, acrylic on canvas #art #abstract #painting

Mr. Miso enjoys the frequent visits and sleepovers with his fleet and leaping brothers from another mother, Max and Simon. Nearly impossible to get all three in one frame. #cats #catsofbluesky

One from back in the 90's... “Eos” 24” x 30”, acrylic on canvas #art #painting

"Complicated Bluebird" 20" x 24", acrylic on canvas #art #painting #abstract

New work in progress as seen from outside the studio window. #art #painting #abstract

When you arrive in the tiny library, Miso will ask you a riddle. Your answer will determine whether he sends you to the Studio or the Remelt Room. #cat #art
