Namaste’!

I have put this website together myself so please be patient with the continual updates. I have found in my experience that the beats of art are always changing, so I am forced to dance to the same drum. I have many more murals to paint so do return often to see new work and films about those works. I have paintings from Boston to Flagstaff. Hundreds of paintings have been completed in my 16 years of painting. I hope to make hundreds more. 

Below you will find my blog with thoughts and updates to adventures. Feel free to comment.

Please do explore as many pages as possible and if you have any questions, comments, or requests for work, please leave a comment at the bottom of the pages.

My second phase on my Artprize adventure….

Yes there is phases… I decided to take this like a larger picture of sorts. I do know that this next step, (three steps total), will be the hardest. Step One, the mural and introduction, Step Two, the performance on the street, and Step Three, the film about it all.

So in the coming weeks, into months, I will be hitting the streets of Grand Rapids, Michigan ready to kick out some music driven, energetic, and (dare I say) passionate paintings about music.

 

I look forward to seeking the musicians that inhabit Grand Rapids… and painting with them. So Grand Rapids, stayed tuned and watch for me dancing with my painting…

Leaving for Michigan to paint…then California…

It is nice to back in Springfield, Illinois. I have many friends and old stories based in that town’s buildings, parks, trails, and homes. I couldn’t ever think of not having that town in my life. No matter how far I travel, Springfield, Ilinois is always in my heart and hands. If you are ever there, ask me where to go and explore. I have very finite answers for you.

I have succeeded in painting a mural this week in a basement of an old friend. Kim Hartman is her name, and an excellent cook and good conversationalist. She talked with me for hours while I painted her adition to her basement. All black-lite paint. Pictures to be posted soon, I promise. Space was the theme, and depth was the goal. I think we got it.

My next trip is north for a spell. I have some work to do to fix my mural from the new window installation.  It kinda messed my painting…just a bit. And this hurdle only is testing my vigor and determination. I hope I pass.

Grand Rapids is a lovely city. And I miss Founders. I gotta get back.

California is another adventure…more details on that for later.

Back In Illinois

I successfully made the trip back to Springfield, Illinois from Gallatin Tennessee. The murals in Tennessee came out wonderfully. I look forward to going there again. A very good little southern town that took me in.

I am now in the ‘Patch” painting a mural for Kim Hartman. Just the standard space-scape. Adding the glow in the dark paint brings out the depth of space better than anything I have seen. I shall post those pics soon enough.

I am leaving for Michigan this weekend. It should be cold, but warm in friendship. As expected. I can say truely, that I have found a home in G.R. mural pics soon to be posted!

Painting in Tennessee.

One thing I love about the south is the air. I do love the sweet tea, the music and the girls, but the air and the sky is so beautiful here. I have only been in the southern parts of the U.S. a few times in my short life. I am here now in Gallatin, Tennessee. I am told this is the most haunted place in America. I happen to be painting in a building built over 150 years ago. I came here to help an old friend get his pizzeria started. He picked a little town that reminds me of Mayberry and the town folk have the coolest accents. This is not very large project, so my time here is limited. I have explored the wooded areas, and some of the town’s history. I hope to get the feeling of Tennessee in this work. Iwill poast the pictures to my sites with the right captions. PLease come to Gallatin Tennessee if you ever want a great pizza and to see some fun mural work.

Now arranging pictures…

…this may take a bit, but this is going to be a long affair. I have over 2000 photo’s of paintings from the past 17 years. Needless to say kids… organize them as you take them. Don’t wait till they are all piled up like your mom and dad did…
