"Study at 31"12" x 9"
oil on canvas
We all know the "if your going to do something, do it right" proverb and since I have a show planned for later this year I'm going to give it my all. Game systems were sold, no television, weekly trips to the library, art books and dvds get more attention than my girlfriend, the works. So in addition to the preparation, I've been doing experiments in different mediums and materials to explore what is going to be best for certain pieces. "Study at 31" is a self portrait that took a couple of hours and is from life. A few future pieces will involve figures, so this is just a warmup of things to come.

One more time - say it loud!
Hi friendlies.
The white is interesting - i realized that white is like...the unseen color in painting.
I thought of me when I saw the hairline rim of the eyelid.
I tried to add a chatroom to my page so we could have little collab sessions or whatever - but it was like - I dunno - Pakistani porn chatter or something :/
And finally - I am dying here not playing Mirror's Edge.
Wow, Scott.
I like the addition of the white and dark tones and the red. It makes the image much more intense and captures you better.
Quite an improvement from the first draft you emailed us earlier.
Love, Mom
