one of me and "mansfield's" collaborations
big painting (four foot) that I traded for 100 beers can be seen hanging over the bar at The Know on Alberta Street
_ _ _ _ Darryl Gates
the painting that I feel is my most... well I don't really think there's a word for it. Swayze was wearing a loin cloth up until about a day or two before the 30 Rooms show at Milepost 5 when I decided, screw it, lets make this less popular but more memorable and put some bush on there
Mount Swayze
a big painting that came out of me in around an hour and hangs in my living room
Aftermath #0
watched my favorite videos of his after he died and tried to capture their essence. they were all sold within a couple days so obviously if I was smart I'd sit around and paint Michael Jackson all day and put them on ebay but I think that sounds like a horrible idea.
show @ The Know.
Tough as Nails show
I started painting seriously in late 2007 when I moved back to Portland. sat in a room a month and did these portraits, most of which were sold or stolen. thank Haberman for pushing me to do so.
Freddie Mercury Painting
first large painting / first painting in a show. it was for an AIDS awareness show @ 100th Monkey Gallery and later hung @ The Nest. have refused all offers on it, as it's been promised to my niece when I'm dead
Mercury at Wembley
prior to 2007
I did a few paintings here or there, but none of them satisfied me. The main one that I remember was a portrait of Magnum PI which was eaten on, drawn on, pissed on... speaking of Magnum, how about the episode where I was the bad guy? lots of drawing throughout my life, though, and if anything I hope to one day make the pictures I gave to my friends back then worth lots of money
