Having said that you might not think there are any cross overs between the two paintings. But I do. Using red in a landscape for a start is for me essentially threatening and says "hey, I'm not just talking about landscape here".; December 8, 2011 3:07 AM

A CALL TO ACTION - FREE, SEXY AND EASY

Acquire one or more of my original and unique paintings and I will attempt to convince my parents, pictured at the bottom of this page, to come to your home with some Hamm's tallboys to drink. They will rifle through your magazines and tell you amazing stories of high speed chases, late night rants with Montgomery Clift and rowdy market places in the north of Africa. I have made them promise - no fights with your other guests. Perhaps you will dance or play cards with them? Please, tell them stories of your own spectacular adventures. They would like that. Go on, scroll down to the bottom of this page and check them out. You know you want them to come over. The rewards of original art cannot be overstated!

How I am, the way I am.

I come from a long line of artists. My father drew the original series of cigarette smoking woodpeckers used in all traditional tattoo shops today. My maternal grandmother was a professional artist who could paint the highlights of a vase with the devastation of a paper cut to the eye. And of course my grandfather was the infamous paint-by-numbers artist and rum runner of Kansas City in the 1940’s. I have tried to combine all I learned from them into a cohesively rambling style.

My formal training includes years of study with the Canadian art God, John Nagy, developer of the audacious Learn to Draw Kit. We met every Tuesday afternoon at 3:30.

Believing in total respect for my materials I once used an entire box of Crayola 64’s without breaking a single crayon, I covered my driveway in Scotch tape to protect my sidewalk chalk drawings from the rain, and the cloth of my canvas is made only from the wool of free range sheep.
