It's Like That... And that's the way it is!

Can't stop, won't stop.

New piece I'm working on. Here's the design. The stencil is half-way cut and will probably be 11" x 14". Now I just need the weather to get better so I can get out there and lay it down. Until then...

Vinyl test

The great thing about stencils are that they're reusable. Some people say it's the poor man's screenprinting. I like to think of it as the creative man's playground. Damn, that doesn't even make sense.

Alright enough with the nonsense. Here's a sample of painting on vinyl re-using Mr. Shiv from "Stab." I may do a few more like this with different background colors.

Imagine it...

A painting for my wife. All of the darker, workout your issues, aggro imagery had me wanting to do something on a more positive note (not that Stab or OMG isn't positive). There's a bit of underspray and the composition isn't quite as tight as it could be. That'll teach me to not rush shit.

Oh, and that's not my wife in the piece.

Testing...

Some throw away test sprays.

New character

A new character is on it's way and it's name is...

It actually doesn't have a name yet. I really don't even know which one to go with. The far right one was cut last night (for a 3 color stence). The more I look at these though, the middle one seems to speak to me. Softly in my ear and oh so sweetly. Maybe it's the curves...

Get a knife...

I'm not quite sure if this one is finished yet. It feels a little cramped and it needs an opposing force... basically someone/thing to cut. I've got something in mind but execution-wise, I'm not sure how to pull it off yet.

Currently it's 12"x9". I'll most likely lay down another one at but larger. I need me some negative space on this thing.

WTF?

An alternative look at those acronyms that people toss around mindlessly while yapping via their keyboards or finger fondling their fucking mobile devices. These two pieces are also from the "Social Deathworking" series.

First Canvas

My first attempt at a canvas. The piece is also the first in a series that I'm calling "Social Deathworking."

Check out the slideshow above my profile pic to see how I went about doing this.

Lillian... the bitch fell down the steps again!!!

Classic Eddie Murphy vernacular. Listening to Delirious on cassette tape, over and over can really make an impression on a little kid. If you want some FREE stickers, hit me up.



And in case you need a refresher course:

Sticker from back in the day...

When the glove didn't fit. The whole thing pissed me off so I made
a handful of these. Wish I had taken some pics of the few that were up.
I recently came across this one on the inside of my ArtBin box.
'95, laser printout on sticky paper.

Early work

This was one of my first stencils, done back in '04. I thought the emotional imagery was a good contrast to the ho-hum connotations of the word "blah." 1-color, probably about 10" big... nothing too fancy. I was satisfied. Although the underspray was pretty damn disappointing.
