"Hangin' Out"

 

No deep meaning here. This painting is about the simple things in life: hanging out with people and creatures whose company you enjoy.  This painting is is made of acrylic paint (on canvas), and collaged cartoons and doodles.   The first layer is the abstract rhythmic design layer. It's supposed to look like a comic strip, or old newspaper funnies in the background. In the foreground, I've cut out some black and white cartoons I'd created on a separate piece of paper, and collaged the on on top of this painting. I then went back into it and added some color (acrylic paint, felt marker, and crayon). I've made a series of this type of work, which I'll be posting soon...

"Healing Powers" cardboard wall sculpture

"Healing Powers" (2011); this piece is made with acrylic, tempera paint, and ink on cardboard. Various imagery, representing inner peace and harmony, love, physical strength, vision and wisdom...all fanned out like a series of cards or coasters. Currently on display at the Raices Taller Gallery, in Tucson, AZ

The Illusion of Comix

This drawing is made to look like it's a comic strip, but it really isnt....or is it? Are a few boxes and some word balloon shapes all that's needed to make a comic strip??? (Oh, the burning questions I come up with!) An illusion within an illusion! Very interesting...! (ink, ink wash, Sharpie, graphite, and crayon on paper. Approx 2 ft x 5 ft)
