For your viewing pleasure: Artist at Work
I finally found my tripod. So I decided to film a time-lapse video of me working in my studio. I’m actually completely done with the collage portion of this GIGANTIC mixed media painting. I can’t wait to work on the other parts of it. This video is about half hour of work collapsed into about…

The wall and chitta vritti
It’s been one of those weeks where I have been completely distracted in general. I can’t seem to focus on one thing at a time. I start doing something, and then my mind leads me elsewhere. I guess that is one of the reasons I’ve been back at making script patterns again. It’s like meditation. …

Saturday Studio session
This weekend I spent the early part of my afternoon at Palette 22. I had a really nice time working on some new paintings. I started using my newspapers I brought back from India, and I’m making a few small guys while I’m an artist in residence at the restaurant. It was fun meeting and…

I’m in
This week has been so busy, but in a good way. I made it to the studio a few times this week and also started a new “job”. It’s not really a full time job, more like an artist gig to get out into the community. I’m now working as an Artist in Residency with…
