Femme Fatale

15"x24"
Acrylic & Marker on Silk-Screen
   GJeoff collaboration...I had an old silk-screen that I hadn't used for making shirts or prints, but rather for sifting. It's time had come to be re-born into something more courageous. I painted on the back-side of the screen to see what the effect would be if paint oozed through to the front. Woman troubles can be partly to blame for the fruition of this piece (aren't they always). I drew in a figure with a marker and Rez put some highlights on it. Blam!!! Beauty.

   Another GJeoff collabo...The party is in the clouds, where all the detritus blocks the sunlight.

   This is a color shot of a snippet of the mural...

Terrance's Mural

   This is the phase just before completion for a mural I did upon commission for my guy Terrance. It's done on a 4'x10' piece of particle board. Terrance is on the far right, with his then-girlfriend and her kid's next to him. To their left is Biggie and Jay-Z. It's in black and white, so the coloring on Terrance isn't visible.

Room Mural

   An underwater scene in my nephew's room with a turtle and large-mouthed bass...That ther's a purdy fish!

Mural In-Progress

   This is a 10'x10' mural of a pair of hands holding WHAT WILL BE soil with a young plant being planted. I'm currently in the process of finishing this and having trouble figuring out what colors to finish with. Stay tuned.

Sitting Duck

24"x42"
Acryllic & Marker on Canvas

   I don't know what made me think of the plight of the Native American, but I've always felt that they were given the original 'raw deal'...not that America hasn't handed those out, quite frequently, to whomever was in their path to glory...Leaving behind an inglorious path of ruin.
