Big art news this morning, and a massive post to match! To start, the Spacefriends sticker set I promised on my Facebook page a few weeks ago is finally up in the shop, along with a ton of original art, rare prints and drawings. I recently decided it was time to make room. Specifically, to [...]

Oilslicks 009 – New Limited Edition Prints: Alien Botany
February 2nd, 2012 · 7 Comments · Oilslicks
Oh, happy day! After yesterday’s advance announcement for Biorequiem mailing list subscribers, I’m happy to present two peculiar specimens. Playing on my fascination with chapter 8 of A Rebours and the the concept of alien botany, I offer you the first fruit of my dicey investigations, in print form. Available in signed and numbered limited editions of [...]
Oilslicks 008 – See the Cypripedium at Conjoined 2!
January 20th, 2012 · 4 Comments · Oilslicks
My latest painting, the startling Cypripedium Lingua, is now finished! Come see it in the flesh, along with the Cephalotus Geminus, this Saturday at Conjoined 2. If you haven’t already, check out this Haute Macabre write-up about Conjoined and, if you’re in LA on Saturday, be sure to come say hello at the show! I heard [...]
Oilslicks 007 – Cypripedium Progress
January 10th, 2012 · 6 Comments · Oilslicks
I’m racing to get ths piece finished for Chet Zar’s Conjoined group show on the 21st and it turns out one can get a lot of painting done in four-and-a-half hours if enough over-steeped Pu-erh tea is on hand. The question now is: will I even sleep again?

Let’s call this my first painting of 2012. Happy new year, everyone!
Oilslicks 005 – Cephalotus, Stage 2ish
December 22nd, 2011 · 6 Comments · Oilslicks
I give you a few progress shots of my toothy Cephalotus, being brought into existence for Conjoined – Chet Zar’s group exhibit at Copro Nason on January 21. This is maybe five sessions of varying lengths since the first layer post a few weeks back, as well as one unfortunate 5-hour stretch that ended in [...]
Oilslicks 004 – Cephalotus, stage 1
November 4th, 2011 · 6 Comments · Oilslicks
A few shots of my current workstation, which happens to be the kitchen table + dropcloth. We do have a workroom, but the light in here is better, plus – movies! I’m in the process of painting two pieces for Chet Zar’s “Conjoined” show, opening January 21st at Copro Nason gallery, and they’re decidedly NSFW. [...]
Oilslicks 003 – Les Fleurs du Mal
April 15th, 2011 · 18 Comments · Oilslicks
Through some monstrous force of will [and at the expense of things that would have probably made me money] I managed to put another 4 hours into this painting. I would say it’s almost at the halfway point., with no more than 20 more hours to go. A part of me hates showing work in [...]
Oilslicks 002 – Tentactle Jacket Auction to Benefit Tor
February 2nd, 2011 · 5 Comments · Oilslicks
Apologies for the week’s radio silence. It’s just that I’ve found it increasingly difficult to keep up with our regular programming while the current historic events in Egypt are permeating all of my feeds. Mostly, I’ve been working and glued to Al Jazeera’s live coverage of Cairo, especially impressed by the work of the folks [...]

Oilslicks 001 – Small and Tiny Paintings Sale!
April 1st, 2010 · 5 Comments · Oilslicks
Our very first edition of Oilslicks! Haven’t painted in ages, and it’s about that time. To kick things off, I painted a tiny study in acrylic and decided that medium just isn’t for me. However, some use did come from the experiment! I decided to clear a bit of room on my walls, so I’m [...]

FaceSquish, before varnish
March 21st, 2008 · No Comments · Oilslicks
Since this was taken a couple of weeks ago I’ve varnished and signed these little paintings, adding a few minuscule details in gold ink. That could prove difficult to photograph so here is this, for now. Oil on wood. Of late, poking at a new larger painting and a propaganda piece for Coilhouse, where I’m [...]
