Hard Motion Painting

I'd been working on this alphabet for several years and when I finished, I thought a mere ABC book beneath me, so I wrote Caino.  However, when I finally got around to it, the ABC book was just as challenging-I had to find a page worth to say about three more or less random things beginning with each of the alphabet's twenty six letters.  Easy with some of them.  Some of them.  I'm happy with it: I managed to touch on some really age-inappropriate subject mater and back gingerly away-leaving openings for a parent to explain issues of life, death...

I'll be showing at Converge Gallery in Williamsport Pensilvania from April 7th - 29th This will be the first showing of 5 sets of 4 colour variants and the 5 paintings that spawned them. Also there will be a vectored print of Birds vs Monkeys with pentagonal escorts, an inverted print of Big Hill, Eight vs One and Ant Trees. https://convergegallery.com

Ant Trees, that bold, purple and inexplicably named landscape, loved by entomologists and feared by house wives, is now on display for the month of February at that most public of gallery spaces: Window 71 (https://www.window71.com) Come have a peek around the roadworks and marvel in it's majestic presence.

A friend and myself are now curating an auspicious open air gallery on Broad Lane (well, you would call it a window display if we were hawking shoes, but we aren't, we are displaying immortal works of art, so it is an open air gallery thank you). Have a peek if you're in the neighbourhood: https://www.window71.com

I've been getting increasingly crypto-zooalogical these days. Despite it's being as cliched as a poker game full of dogs, I've gone and preformed one of the great standards of painting and illustration. It's got me through my bumbling month of advertising my first experiment in crowd funding and almost lasted me through the surreal experience of the election.  I've got another round canvas all ready to go, as well as a few canvases stretched with printed out vectors of my work. What strange manner of creature will I paint next? Will it be any good?... Only time will tell.
