The Phoenix And The Wolf - oil on canvas - 18x36 inches - October 2025 This piece was commissioned by a collector of my work. She gave me a starting point, I went with it. Here’s the result. I hope you dig. see more detail at www.nateseubert.com #oilpainting #art #surrealism

The Kat Show (collaboration with David Wilson) - oil on canvas - 24x36 inches - February 2006 Last weekend’s show has me thinking about this image, the first collaborative painting I did. #oilpainting #art #fineart #surrealism

Doing the thing I do. #fineart #contemporaryart #surrealism

I want a world where politics and government exist to create the conditions for the best possible lives for the largest number of people, rather than this ridiculous arena for the exhibition of extreme personality disorders we currently have.

One With The Clouds and Universe - acrylic and oil on canvas - 24x36 inches - 2025 This one is a collaboration between myself and my good friend Luis Sanchez (www.luissanchezfineart.com). It was made for the “When Worlds Collide” show at Lucky Cat Gallery in LA. #fineart #contemporaryart #surrealism

I started painting this little 12.5x24.5 inch canvas, tonight. It’s made to fit a frame I found on the street (and cleaned up/painted). The bird head is based on a phainopepla. #fineart #contemporaryart #surrealism

I started the initial sketch for this little 12.5x24.5 inch canvas, tonight. It’s made to fit a frame I found on the street (and cleaned up/painted). The bird head is based on a phainopepla. #fineart #contemporaryart #surrealism

Art show, this weekend! I’ll have a small piece, and a collaborative painting done with my good friend Luis Sanchez! Plus a bunch of other awesome artists! Check it out, if you can! #art #fineart #contemporaryart #surrealism #contemporarypainting #newcontemporary #newcontemporaryart #painting

What do I want? Liberty and justice, for all. The best life possible, for the largest number of people, in perpetuity. And swift, severe consequences for those who would try and thwart it.

Thanks again, merrick fucking garland!

You know… if you’re presenting yourself as being on the left side of things, and need to cover up a large, mostly black tattoo…

So we’re just going to let Trump make it look as if the plane that went down in PA had actually hit the White House as intended, on 9/11?

One’s principles should be much more important than the devotion to any single politician. I don’t know why more people don’t understand that.

That might be it for this commissioned piece. I’ll know in a week or so, when it’s dry. #newcontemporary #oilpainting #surrealism

Wee little bits. This commissioned piece is almost done! #newcontemporary #oilpainting #surrealism

We can do better. We must!

If the sputtering contraption that is our constitutional republic lasts long enough for even half-way decent people to be in control, again, maybe they can pass a law that says something to the effect of "if congress doesn't pass a new budget, spending continues at previously-approved levels."

Right, painting. That’s a thing I do! Getting down to the wee fussy bits with this one. #newcontemporary #oilpainting #surrealism

It’s one question, and it’s easy. Voting no is like putting your hands down, while someone is getting ready to punch you in your face. You might have a moment of feeling like the better person, but you’re still definitely getting punched. Yes on 50!

It's really awesome to have multiple moments every fucking day of being the most furious I have ever been at other humans, because they voted for all of this.

Oh, man. I had the opportunity to work with him on prints of his work, at my day job. Beyond being an incredible artist, he was one of the most genuinely kind people I’ve met in the art world. Such a tremendous loss.

Sweeter Than Truth - oil on canvas - 46x50 inches - October 2000 Wow, 25 years ago, I finished this one. More info in alt text. #oilpainting #art #fineart #contemporaryart #surrealism

A Box Full of Better - oil on 2 canvases - 30x26 inches - October 2005 20 years ago! More info in ALT. #oilpainting #art #fineart #contemporaryart #surrealism

I got the final color for the dress in, and oiled out the background and her head to bring the color intensity back. Lots more little stuff to do on this commissioned piece, once it’s dried. #newcontemporary #oilpainting #surrealism

Getting some red transition into those top feathers… I’ll probably add even more, once this pass is dry. Lots more little stuff to do on this commissioned piece. #newcontemporary #oilpainting #surrealism

Still more work on this commission. I’m enjoying this one even more than I expected. #newcontemporary #oilpainting #surrealism

I’m used to being cut off by jerks running lights. The metro train blowing through the intersection in front of me when I had a green light today was a new one, though. LA used to just not want me here. Of late, it’s actively trying to kill me.

I did some more work on this commission, tonight. #newcontemporary #oilpainting #surrealism

So the president has told the leadership of our military that my city is an enemy in need of killing… so, you know, fuck each and every one of you who voted for this, or who couldn’t be bothered to vote to stop it.

Working on this guy, for this commissioned piece. Still a lot more to do. #newcontemporary #oilpainting #surrealism

Of course it was a white guy in a baseball hat who whipped his BMW SUV around me on the right at 2x the speed limit on a curve. The cherry on top was the "Baby On Board" sticker on the rear window. You know what I want to see most in this life? Consequences for entitled jerks, at long last.

Got all of the flames in on this commissioned piece. Still a lot more to do. #newcontemporary #oilpainting #surrealism

Listening to Haus der Luge by Einstürzende Neubauten, while painting... at the same time they're renovating the house, next door. Having a hard time telling what is the music, and what is actual construction noise. These guys are really jamming!

Overnight Prints is garbage. They’ll take your money, give you very poor quality prints, then blame it on your files. I work in a print shop. I’ve been a designer for decades. I know how to set up files for printing. Avoid this company, if you care anything about print quality or color accuracy.

Had a surprise day off, so I got back to work on this super secret collaborative piece (handed off to me by my good friend Luis Sanchez) for a show in November. I’ve been trying to get that particular color combo to work well for a very, very long time. #newcontemporary #oilpainting #surrealism

"Honoring the life and legacy" of a racist bigot who sniffed at violence as a result of his policy preferences, and actively endorsing it against his perceived enemies? Here's a list of 58 Democrats who need to be primaried out of a job, next year. clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025282

Sill more of the flames on this commissioned piece. #newcontemporary #oilpainting #surrealism

I think it’s time to check out, for a bit… I’ve read more than enough about a fascist shitbag who got shot.

Why do so many people fail to understand that the freedom to say what you want in no way requires anyone else to agree with you?

I’m not a lawyer. But I do have the magic ability of reading comprehension… so I understand that the 1st amendment doesn’t say who has the right to speak their mind, it says the government has no business making such decisions.

Working on more of the flames on this commissioned piece. There are a lot of them. #newcontemporary #oilpainting #surrealism

24 years ago today, inhuman monsters killed thousands of people, in an attempt to goad the USA into destroying itself. I will never understand why we obliged them.

While the other one dries, I’ve been working on this super secret collaborative piece (handed off to me by my good friend Luis Sanchez) for a show in November. #newcontemporary #oilpainting #surrealism

Can we do something about all the guns, now?

Looks at news for first time since this morning. Reaping and sowing come to mind.

After hour 3 of coworkers playing “dude rapping to completely different rhythm than backing track,” I’m begging for someone to find the beat. my brain is breaking from trying to figure how they match up.

The socks on my feet are the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.

More fire time. #oilpainting #workinprogress #art #fineart #contemporaryart

The Degeneratist - oil on linen - 24x32 inches - August 2025 I got the frame finished this weekend. Now it’s complete. See more detail at: www.nateseubert.com #newcontemporary #oilpainting #surrealism
