A friend commissioned this portrait. I realized this was the first tune I had painted Bourdain. It's odd, because I knew him. I was avoiding it on some level.

@jefftiedrich.bsky.social uncle Jeff. How to feel about the excessive handshakes? Pt Barnum & Ol' Charlie Chan.

The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
-AJ Soprano

You should commission a pop collage. I did this one for an optometrist.

In celebration of #Slash leaving #X, here is a painting of Slash I did for ukulele virtuoso Feng E.

Just finished this David Bowie on reclaimed wood. It's available if anyone is interested.

William Burroughs was well ahead of his time. Seeking a cure for his chronic heroin addiction, he ventured to South America searching for the elusive yage. Wholly obscure in the 1950s, it's better known today as ayahuasca.

@dgans.bsky.social when the so many roads box set came out, I won runner up in that poem contest you had. You also sent me a great prize. Thank you for all the years David. I used to tape the GDH weekly, well before the fat man split.

Hi. Anyone reading this, my commissions are open once again.

We lost our place from the back to back Hurricanes last year. I am in Bradenton, Florida... Fema ran out in January, and I've been bleeding out since. Our place will be ready next month. You got it, I'll paint it.

I'm a flaming deadhead by the way.

Hi Bluesky. I'm an artist from Sarasota Florida. It's nice to have a sane space to kick around in.
