Paper

"...and you're to blame"
8" x 10"
graphite, liquid acrylic, china marker on Rives BFK

Just bought a bunch of awesome paper from the art store. I really like working on heavy printmakeing paper, it has such a great feel to it. Just finished this little graphite drawing with a little crimson liquid acrylic and white china marker on some Rives BFK. Can't remember the last time I did a graphite piece, but it was pretty satisfying.

Boarded Up


I am going to have two hand painted skateboards in the Neopopstreetfunk show Boarded Up in Houston at Gallery M Squared next weekend. If anyone is in the area they should check it out, there's going to be a whole bunch 0f great stuff. And it's for a good cause! The opening is on Saturday the 11th. Hope to see you there.

Check out this little blurb

Pretty great to be compared to Jason Lee!
