A Moose, A Bear and an Assortment of Weapons

All  new pieces created for the group show 'Trash' that just ended last week. Each piece was originally part of a shelving unit found in a dumpster.  Each shelf was removed, stained, and paper was applied to the background before painting the image on the top.

More shows at Hold Up Art to be announced soon...

California Black Bear
.357 Magnum
North American Moose
A Grouping of Arrows
are all ink and paper on repurposed wood shelving, various sizes.

North Western Moose

One of eleven brand new pieces for Trash at Hold Up Art Starting this weekend. To follow the theme used for this show, I actually pulled apart and used a bunch of shelves found in the trash for this painting and the three others like it. The framing around each shelf was stained and the shelf tops were covered in old dictionary pages, which was then the surface I painted each picture on.

Only three more days!

Russian Red

During the October Revolution the Winter Palace was raided of its wine cellars and made much of the Petrograd population quite drunk. It got to the point that a decree was issued that any stock of wine found would be blown up with dynamite... To celebrate the wine pogrom issued by the Regimental Committee, Lenin, and Trotsky, I give you Russian Red... almost good enough to be straight from the cellar of the Winter Palace.

Shows Added!

I have added two new shows to the year. Both are coming up rather quickly with the first, A Whole Lotta Rosas, happening on February 11th. It is a one night show at the Camp in Costa Mesa and will feature a wide variety of artists focusing their talents on this rose themed art show. It is being put on by Tim Shelton, a tattoo artist from Costa Mesa. There will be a lot of fresh, new artwork there, live painting by some of the artists, and the best part!?! Nothing costs over $200!

then....

On April 9th, Rothick Arthaus will be putting on a massive Nesting Doll art show. There will be hundreds of nesting or matryoshka dolls painted and created by over 50 artists. Both events will be a lot of fun, and there will be no shortage of cool things to look at.
