Palette knife is scarier than any ghost or ghoul, but I'm committing to using it more regularly!

For a group show opening March 8th at the Brassworks Gallery in Portland Oregon

You don't choose which paintings are going to be "ah ha" moments, and this one turned out to be a bit of one. How I plan, the importance of a FINAL final pass, adding palette knife texture... Super happy with the result!

Back in November, I was asked to make a NSFW variant cover for the relaunch of Heavy Metal and I think the only prompt was to include a robot. I've also been rediscovering how palette knife, while scary as hell, can really add some magic to a piece...

Back home from my first OAX! It was fantastic putting faces to many names and getting to talk with so many folks who have built such a positive and warm collecting community.

I'm really excited to share the poster image I painted for the upcoming IAX/OAX convention! I was honored to make something special for it. The OA of this piece will be part of the convention auction happening that weekend.
