UPDATE! Starbucks show teardown this afternoon.

Hey Everyone,
FYI, if you were thinking of checking out the show tonight before tear down, I just wanted to let you know that I’m going to be tearing down this afternoon due to the bad weather. Carry large canvases in high winds is tough to say the least. Sorry if you were planning to check it out tonight, but I should be having another local show soon. Thanks to all who checked out the show!

More Phone Wallpapers


Here’s two more iphone sized wallpapers. I’m heading to Richmond tomorrow, but I hope to grab some Bottoms Up Pizza for the ride back down. They have the best pizza in Virginia, bar none! On other news, I’m making some final touches on some personal work, and I hope to post some decent images of some of the new paintings I put in the Starbucks show next Saturday. If you live locally in the 757, be sure to stop by and check it out!

Some Wallpaper Art for your iPhone


I’ve had a lot of friends comment on the art on my phone, so I figured I’d make some of it available for fans to download and use for their own phones. It’s sized up to fit so you won’t need to crop it. Let me know if you dig them!

Some more sketches

New Painting Unfinished 

Well, here’s a sneak peek at what I’m working on and a sketch that ran out of time. I have to say that Kinko’s did right by me recently. When all three of their regular printers went down, they printed my Art Show Promos on high quality stock (50 prints cut in half equals 100) so I made out like a champ for 7 bucks in printing!

He’s a nice guy, but don’t corner him. you won’t like the effects!

Ok, a little more background on Mateo. He teaches mixed Martial Arts and I’m hoping to gain some knowledge on that subject.

Music that I’m infatuated with…NEKO CASE

HOLD ON, HOLD ON
Neko Case/The Sadies 2005

THE MOST TENDER PLACE IN MY HEART IS FOR STRANGERS
I KNOW IT’S UNKIND BUT MY OWN BLOOD IS MUCH TOO DANGEROUS
HANGIN’ ROUND THE CEILING HALF THE TIME

COMPARED TO SOME I’VE BEEN AROUND
BUT I REALLY TRIED SO HARD
THAT ECHO CHORUS LIED TO ME WITH ITS “HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON”
IN THE END I WAS THE MEAN GIRL
OR SOMEBODY’S IN-BETWEEN GIRL
NOW IT’S THE DEVIL I LOVE
AND THAT’S AS FUNNY AS REAL LOVE

I LEAVE THE PARTY AT THREE A.M.
ALONE, THANK GOD
WITH A VALIUM FROM THE BRIDE
IT’S THE DEVIL I LOVE
AND THAT’S AS FUNNY AS REAL LOVE
AND THAT’S AS REAL AS TRUE LOVE

THAT ECHO CHORUS LIED TO ME WITH ITS “HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON”

So this is what I’ve been listening to. I’m going out to get the CD today if possible. There are sometimes when music comes out when you are working on a project that really speaks to you in the same vibe. Neko Case is a musician that leaves me wondering, “How the hell did I not hear of her before?”. I had seen the name and her mentioned on the radio, but never heard the music. Her voice is very hypnotic and has a retro throwback to Cline and that others from the 50’s. I have a suspicion that I’m going to be a devoted fan by soon.

Updated my WordPress Blog

Well, I did it! I managed to update my blog software without trainwrecking it. While it was easy, I’ll be the first to say that the instructions could have been worded better for us artist types. That said, I felt confident enough to know I backed it up and could do it again when they release another update. So here goes with a test pic to upload as well. These pics were from last nights drawing session.

Painting Night

JAC-Aug5th2008.jpg

I got lucky and managed to paint the eyes in before the model had to put sunglasses on. The fans were blowing hard to cool everyone off, but it was drying her eyes out.

A Week and a half late. Here’s some more figure drawing.

Being the lack of sleep this past two weeks, I’ve finally come around and have posted sessions from a week and a half ago. It was Hannah’s first time, and she did awesome. I wish I was in a better frame of mind to draw that night, but it is what it is. I’ve been looking at some of the figure drawing sessions other artists are posting up and I have to say, it appears they are doing double and triple sessions of the model in the same pose. Not sure, if that is something that could be arranged with our group, but if I get to San Francisco again, I will definitely want to head to some of their drawing groups to see how they manage to make such killer pieces of art. Later today, I will post up some progress on my landscape. YES! I’ve been able to get some more work on it. Due to it’s rather large size, it can be intimidating at times.

Sketches from a dead man…

I just barely made it through another drawing session. Feel like dead man walking and drawing on auto pilot.
