Abstract Black+White #6, Event Horizon
Continuing the painting experiments in black and white, this work seems to me to have just the right amount of 3-D surface area. The lighting shown above is from the upper right. The painting will have a different texture if lit from another angle.
This is an experimental work. Any serious offer will be considered.
Self-Caricature Art
A working class artist has to do many things to make a living. If you are only doing one thing, you will have a somewhat better chance of being famous, but it is also much more likely that art will be a hobby, not a living.
Ever since I discovered Joe Bluhm’s extreme caricature work, I’ve wanted to expand my own style. I figured I might as well start with myself.
This caricature was done in pen and colored pencil, one pass – no preliminaries. It is an intentionally extreme, exaggerated self-portrait caricature.
My Home Growing Up in Bel Air
It’s an old family inside joke, When asked where we were from, we would say, Bel Air. It sounded cool, or at least normal. And it was partially true – because we lived IN a 1956 Chevy Bel Air coupe. Yeah, those were the days. We were homeless a lot….
We lived in Bel Air ..Chevy, that is.
I was a kid at the time and I didn’t exactly realize that this wasn’t normal. I’ve had an interesting life, anyway. I just thought I’d share this…
Try to imagine living in a car like this with your alcoholic gun-slinging dad and chain-smoking mom. We mostly slept in national parks and other forests of Oregon and California. Good times.
