what god made us do

i've been working on this painting for a few weeks, can't finish it, stuck and have given up a lot
i can't drink coffee at all if i'm going to go paint-


this is the best robot i have ever painted


best lion i could paint- looks kind of goofy though huh ?


the wild gator-



that's supposed to be like a polliwog god floating over the people and wild life




blurry- sorry- that's kind of the theme for the month- my camera, my hands and eye-
i know these images aren't post cards or aceo- but they are art- and i'm too busy working out-losing weight and fighting dogs

new wallpaper





well my next show is going to be titled blurry broken camera
i think my camera is screwy or my eyes don't focus anymore or both, sweet lord i need a new camera and glasses
these are the cards i bomb the streets with- again- i know i really need to cut some new blocks but my shoulder has just healed from the last woodblocks i cut-
and i have to get my blurry show all together if i'm going on vacation this summer- doubtful
come to Fuel Coffee on capital hill to see the show, it's in September- i wont be there with my lips flapping- talking about myself incessantly-
i'm going to hire a very plain cute girl to play my role- go to functions talk to people, shake hands with oldsters and talk about art- not; slack line-surfing-dogs- van living- urban hiking-physical activities-party knives-bombs-pie-tea-coffee shops- log jams- berry poaching- my neighbors-some violent film i watched-sc-fi books- the novel Cruddy- she's going to be sincere and really interested in photography art and other people
this cupcake is outta here-
urban hiding

i can't paint one million post cards

you think we're evolved- postcard sized water color
there she is reading again-


me and the monster- but who is the monster ?

bottle cap snail w / trail





the parable of why god looks in the mirror with his eyes closed



old time guitar picker





little known nursery rhymes- the fox making sweet love to the wine bottle



sorry about the blur- every body scream FOCUS !!!!!!
i think i need some glasses, a new camera-turn off the freaking macro setting- give up on art and watch more tv, much more tv

one million post cards

this is a stack of unfinished post cards- after i have spent most of yesterday painting backgrounds- salt and water
witch painting detail- really nice lines

i will have to buy thousands of boxes like this



little paintings within the context of a larger whole-ROYGBI [RED ORANGE YELLOW GREEN BLUE INDIGO WITH NO ROOM VIOLET]


this weekend in the van living alone the wife and kids have left me- while drawing postcards i have thought it would be a funny idea to try/just make an attempt at a show of one million paintings-




i tried to paint a million-
would i have to build a larger studio-give up my future day job ?

but i don't even think i could afford that many postcards to paint on. they cost about $5.00 for twenty, i know i could buy them cheaper in bulk, is there even enough water in the world for such a stupid attempt- here goes-
just a silly summer time idea
have fun-
break a finger
