Funny story; In high school I made this drawing and later posted it on AOL. Soon after, "Jermey" sent me a message of his new tattoo. Although he never asked me for permission, the result was a terrible reproduction. However, I told him that I was honored. I wonder if Jeremy still has it.

My latest blog post is about my 2025 projects that you can read on my web site. In it I mention a book project recently completed for Seattle artist legend Stephen J Walker, my exhibitions and new offerings on my e-commerce shop. Happy Holidays. www.mihalyo.com/new/happy-wi...

In 2015 I finished this oil painting titled Fallen Buddha just before the Earthquake in Nepal. Subsequently it was used on the cover of The Stranger magazine in Seattle that month. Recently temples and other structures collapsed in Myanmar due to a 7.7 earthquake. Honoring that event with this post.

Meanwhile, as America experiences an existential crisis I keep on-task with my art practice as source of self care. Tonight’s studio view. #studioview #art #painting #oilpainting #artlife #humanart #jeffmihalyo #staysafe #surrealart #keepgoing

In 2013 I created this 6 foot oil painting that seems relevant today. The concept behind Pyramid is about overturning power structures by celebrating warriors. The question is; now what? Two notions we face today. #art #bsky.art #oilpainting #politicalcartoons #painting #fineart #originalart

Rain Snake is a 40x79 inch oil painting I made in 1994. It was the last of a series/style that I worked in since the mid 80s. This week marks the beginning of Chines New Year of the Snake. Although this image contains water, technically 2025 is the year of the wood snake. Gong Xi Fa Cai!

It's oil paint inventory day as I prepare to launch into a new series of paintings. (And finish a few on the easel). This looks like a mess but there is method. Some of these paints are over twenty years old yet are still good. I only needed pick-up two colors this time. #art

Starting 2025 with a bsky account featuring a screenshot of my website at www.mihalyo.com
