Hey peoples. I am so bummed that I haven’t been able to keep up on all the tumblr action lately. I took a temp job that is basically sucking the life out of me for the next couple of weeks. I guess I was spoiled for the 5 months I got to stay home and do nothing but paint all day. I have no energy when I get home to do anything! Tonight was the first time I’ve painted in a week and a...

Premature Evacuation
So it’s 10:30, and I still have a good four hours left to work in my studio. I was working dilligently away while shaking my ass to some Tori Amos tune when I see a movement out of the corner of my eye. I turn. My eyes dart nervously as I scan the room for whatever presence has peaked my paranoia - and then I see it. Well, I sense it more than see it. Some evil, wing-ed creature of the night...
So I Hate to Complain...
But this beautiful weather has made my attic studio a blazing inferno. I’m going to have to figure out a way to keep it cool, or I’m going to be painting on the balcony all summer. Why have a sweet ass club-house studio if you can’t even use it???

The Bad-Assiest Treehouse EVER →
It is my ultimite goal in life to have an adult treehouse, and I think this is it!
My Brain… after watching 2 hours of conspiracy theory films My mind is reeling, twisting and turning in on itself. How can we ever trust that the knowledge we have access to is the truth? I came to the conclusion a long time ago that the information and “facts” that we are bombarded with every day via all forms of the media are total...
C'mon Cleveland...
I’ve been so irritated lately with all of the Derek Hess rip-off artwork that I see all over town. Yes, Derek Hess is great. I’m glad that he has been so successful, and am proud to share the same city as him. But can’t we all just use his hard work and success as inspiration? Do we all have to adopt the same style and mood? Are we all that dark, jaded and synical? I’ve met...
I'm Uptight
In my quest to become a better artist, I went to consult with a great painter I am lucky to know. His name is Matt Cavotta, and those of you who are into D&D, Magic the Gathering or World of Warcraft are probably familiar with his illustrative genious. For those of you who aren’t, you should check him out at www.cavotta.com.
He was kind enough to look at my most recent work, and gave me...
If you think I’m hot, then go ahead and tell me I’m hot.
If you dig my art, please, tell me you dig it.
DO NOT tell me you dig my work because you think I’m hot.
I am not an idiot
You will never get into my pants.
I will not hisitate, for even a moment, to stomp on your dick.

Exhaustion and an All Paint Diet
Day after day, night after night, i paint. I don’t sleep. I don’t eat. I exist only for my work. I am a machine. I abuse my canvases over and over, striving for timely perfection. The hours click by at an alarming pace, and I can feel my impending final batte with time approaching. It will be ugly. It will be bloody. It will be violent, and someone has to lose. It won’t be me....
