I’m working out a new large scale piece on paper.  I typically work on wood, but thought I’d try something new.  I like the paper, mostly because I’ll be able to roll it up when I’m done. Storage is an issue, so I’ve been hesitant to do larger stuff lately.  I think I’ll do more- maybe even get a roll of unstretched canvas.

I’ll be going to Miami for the art fairs in December.  I’ll have work with The Shooting Gallery and Lincart.  Both are in Aqua Art Fair.  Below is the painting I did especially for the show.  It’s titled “Diaspora”, in reference to the forced relocation of the octopus with help from it’s deerlike pal.  It will be available through The Shooting Gallery.

The Gibbes Museum of Art invited La Calle to play at their 100th birthday celebration.  I came across the recording the other day and gave it a listen.  It’s a pretty nice 2 hour plus listen if you’re in a mellow mood.  Enjoy!

Listen!

Here are two large drawings I just finished.  They measure about 96″ x 108″ each.

               ”Scepter”                                 “Ph Balance”

This is a concept idea I had a long time ago but could never get my hands on these videos. Now, with YOUTube making anything a click or two away, I can finally see this through. This is just a mach up of the actual piece which involves two televisions facing one another where John and Billy will go at it on endless loop.

Here’s an ongoing entry where I’ll be making updates as I work on this painting.

After a bit of a hiatus, due to travel in Europe, I’m finally settled back in to San Francisco and ready to make some new work. It always takes a few consecutive days in the studio to build up a momentum, but it was nice to crack open the turpentine containers and get the brushes wet again.

Here’s one from the first day back (still in progress)…
