the key was an anchor for a land-locked lad
from that old sea shanty: The key is an anchor for a landlocked sailor if around your port my ship should linger don't ask about the ring on my finger-".
Peeking Out
Yes, I have a tattoo, and I don't regret it... Actually, it's a permanent "pet" in my arm, a fenix. Perhaps a lucky charm, who knows? :-).
God's Half Brother
12 X 16" Acrylic on Canvas. January 2008. I'm fascinated by structures in nature of decay and rejuvenation. Rebirth from a hibernation. The cycles of nature in the raw. I am fascinated by the way man strives to mimic nature in order to fulfill aspirations to become what we perceive as God. I am frustrated by our inability to express things of importance through our language. The possibilities of augmenting life so as to prolong it. The mixing of organic life created in Nature, and man's attempts to build similar structures in machine forms. This gives me hope, for I dread that death is nonexistence. I am enamored of our reinvention of science. I am at a loss at the realization that it is to late to avoid the coming cataclysms in nature. The death of the world as I have known it. These are some of the ideas that inspire the images I paint. It is a self portrait. This painting began as a .
NeoTrog

AUCTION ends FEB 28: cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150217555119 The word "NEOTROG" is my combination of 'neo' (for NEW), and 'TROG' for Troglodyte.

Day 339: Here, All Your Dreams Come True.
View On Black . I didn't think I was going to use this as my 365, but I literally have been working on it All Day since the moment I woke up, with a one hour break - I actually willingly went to the mall to get away from the computer. My argument against it as a 365 is that it's my memory of us in January. But my argument for it is that it's also the future, a living memory, a dream, our Big Gay Wedding. And that it's really my day, and also a self portrait. So damnit! Don't ask me to get any more portraitie! I'm not a natural artist, but I do a decent job when I spend enough time pushing and tweaking. I was up drawing the sketch until 7am last night. As soon as I woke up, I got back to it*, and I inked it while Xe and I skyped. It's almost 5am and I just finished it. It is: - A drawing of us fully naked, graphite + shading. - Reference materials: lots of tutu photos, 365s, and Doug's d.
THE BONE FACTORY
Acrylic on Canvas 18" x 24" (45.7 cm. x 60.9 cm.) completed in March 2008 CURRENTLY UP FOR AUCTION on eBAY: cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150229771917 With this painting I've returned to color. Unlike my last 6 paintings, in which I used a very simple and dark palette, this time I've used a colorful cartoon comic book style. The use of abstract forms in the factory and cartoonish images for the objects in the foreground was a 'kick' and a challenge. I wanted to make representations of death, pollution and fear using colorful and merry imagery. In this painting I've continued to paint what's on my mind concerning Earth pollution, Global warming and mass extinction, (including our own). It's a big colorful painting that draws your attention with smiling skulls and happy colors. It's my hope that when you look more closely, you will realize that you are looking at a pi.
NIGHT of the DROWNING CLOWNS
Here's one for you Clown enthusiasts. It did not really begin this painting with anything in my mind having to do with Clowns. I was thinking of a dark slow moving sewer. I was thinking of black water moving slow along in a drain pipe under a city. The water polluted with the waste of the dwellers above. The dank smell of urine, feces, rot and decay. Mildew and scum. The slimy walls of the inside of the pipe covered with fuzzy horrors, rats and cockroaches. Spiders and worms. Dead animals writhing with maggots as they flowed down stream with the current. Huge green and blue black flies feasting on sludge and goop. Then, I visioned a man. A man swimming or wading through this gross morass. He has blisters and boils and cancerous growths covering his body. One of his eyes gone, replaced with an "eight ball"! (haHA!) Then I realized, "This is a clown!" A SEWER CLOWN! Perhaps I should.

I don't exist when you don't see me
Self portrait When you don't see me... It's not a matter of going to grow It's not a matter of time or how I feel I'm throwing off the shadow of a better man now What you see is what you never had Get real Get another I don't exist when you don't see me I don't exist when you're not here What the eye don't see won't break the heart You can make believe when we're apart But when you leave I disappear When you don't see me... Oh, it's kind of different when your there You can lease the peace of mind You bought a mask, I put it on You never thought to ask me If I wear it when you're gone Get real Get another I don't exist when you don't see me I don't exist when you're not here What the eye don't see won't break the heart You can make believe when we're apart But when you leave I disappear When you don't see me... You never learned You bought me Everything and less I turned You couldn't.
