My friend Eugene and I decided to collaborate on some paintings! Here is some of the progress in no particular order.

I added some more spray paint and then gold leafing to the image and  then hit a point where I wasn’t sure what else to do. So back to Eugene it goes. We will see what he does with it.

So here is the newest image of the first painting. It has been passed back and forth a few times and is fairly close to being done.

He has just handed me this amazing painting to add on to. I must say it is fairly intimidating. We will see what happens with it.

Here is the first monotype print of my woodcut. I am still going to do an edition of silk-screened colors. This was just me messing around in the studio and happy to have a press again. The plexi-glass slipped some from registration, but it still turned out alright. The image size ended up being 25″x25″.

This is the giant wood-cut I have almost finished. It will be accompanied with 4 or 5 silk-screened colors. I might turn this into a series. The main idea is using an astronaut to represent uncomfortable and alienating feelings in  every-day situations. This print will probably be called ‘Blind Date’.

Here is a new painting I have been working on. It is just a fun idea that I might do more of. I also wanted to try a layering effect using acrylic gel medium on a cradled panel. I wanted this layering technique to add more depth and atmosphere to the painting. The robot and squid are painted last to make them seem closer and more prominent to the viewer.
