Here's a re interpretation of a marker improv from my buddy's basement.  I'm pretty happy with it, but as you can imagine since it was a marker improv there is no real meaning behind it, it's up to you!

桃園 - Táo​yuán

This is the first of my Taiwan Series, Let me know what you think as I keep working on it.

Fallow Faux

After all the Tea Party wins and watching the Media's influence on the recent atmosphere in our culture I can't help but think we've been acting like a bunch of emotional zombies.  Chasing after meat to feed our unreasonable desires and cravings.  It's a slightly angry piece but I promise I'm trying to leave it a little light hearted, here is "Fallow Faux"

Two New Paintings "What Happened to My Child?" and "Live in Logan"

I had a wonderful evening tossing back some tequila and chatting with my good friend Hannah, nothing better then getting inspired by the presence of friends and fellow artists.  Here are the new paintings.

Jascha Heifetz

 “There is no top. There are always further heights to reach.”

The Motivator

The main figure which is the statue is designed after ‘Fu Lions’, a homonym based on the Chinese word ‘Fu’ meaning luck or prosperity. the one arm jutting out from it's side is the first step on the stairs towards personal fulfillment or self actualization, kind of based after Maslow's hierarchy of needs. This first step is also holding a rubics cube which I used to symbolize knowledge, and the mystery of the world around us. On one side of the stairs I put buildings with only the top floor having the lights on, symbolizing a desire to reach the top in your professional career. On the other side I used flowers to portray a need for balance between professionalism and things like love "red", Food "green", and knowledge "blue". I had a lot of fun on this painting, let me know what you think!  

also here's another new print

The Executive

"Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power." P. J. O'Rourke

This painting is in dedication to BP and the wonderful job they're doing to make this world a safer and better place!

"小朋友 - xiǎo​péng​yǒu​"

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

Buddy

"Buddy"

Here's the new one, A sequel to "Good Dog" for my buddy Farruk. Let me know what you guys think!

White Rabbit

"White Rabbit"

My own individual take on one of the central characters in "Alice in Wonderland".  I always thought he'd be more like a mischievous gate keeper then an up tight bureaucratic individual as depicted in many films.

Blue Pooch Reboot

This is a painting from 2005 that I've gone in and redone, it seemed like it needed to be updated with skills (or patience) I've attained since 05.  Either way I hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think.  Here's the old version for comparison.

You Can't Escape the Multiverse

:"YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THE MULTIVERSE":

Even if you take up shop in the middle of no where, someone or something with find you and make you live life.

Misto Kitty

Here is a surreal take on a mystical figure only known as Mr. Kitty.  What is his purpose?  Why is he here?  And why is he such a cool cat?  What mystery does he hide up the sleeve of that fine velvet suit?
