Still with Me?
For 8 months i have asked everyone viewing my works for a simple favor, join me on my personal "unusual journey." Thankfully so many accepted that invite and to those that have been following i offer my undying gratitude and i offer one more thing. You have joined me through my ideas through graffiti, fetish, vices etc. and that road has brought us here together. Now the road will branch off, into a different wilderness. I will still be the same storyteller and you will be the same viewer and "completer" of my scenarios. But the landscape will be different as I invite you all into deep in my mind. Welcome to the inaugural show of my thoughts and visions. Paintings based on drawings, ideas, musings that i have been lugging around with me for years to only now being able to release them into your world. These pieces will hopefully challenge or stimulate or remind you of things in your life and bring you with me through the final parts of this journey and embark on the new.
P.S. Im so happy to use so many words that i don't normally use in my everyday diction, words like "diction."

Forbidden Love
Separated by culture,misunderstood and made foolish by youth love will always find its way whether by the eyes of the beholders or being bonded by the music. Forbidden is a word lost in loves vocabulary. Youth and spontaneity are the cures for the rules and restraints put onto us, taught to us, ingrained into

Beware the Man in the Pink Suit
A very close friend of mine would send random texts to his wife for no reason at all and this was one of them, i dont know why it completely stuck in my head, i always thought it was hysterically ridiculous so i pondered further.

Engine No.9
Purely a fun piece, based on a drawing done decades ago which will the first of several that i will paint. The Engine No. 9 title of course came from the Black sheep song which coincidentally was playing as I was finishing this piece. The concept came to me so long ago that

RPMs
How does one paint sound? Music, wow, such a gift from the heavens. Music is my green screen, my backdrop. I cant sing, hold a note, i cant even dance real good but i have a passion for sound. The DJ of today is what the Rolling Stones were yesterday. Rock Gods!

Seeing Pinky
I havent seen one yet, not a dancing one, not a pink one, not any elephants but i have been drinking enough that i thought one may appear. No such luck, im dying to see one so much that i decided

Moneyshot
Wikipedia defines Money Shot as, "Originally, in general film-making usage the term "money shot" was a reference to the scene that cost the most money to produce; in addition, the inclusion of this expensive special effect sequence is being counted on to become a selling point for the film. For example, in an action thriller,

The Dance
The Dance is an art form referring to movement, usually rhythmic and to music but not always exclusively. In my painting I am using the dance as a social form of communication and interaction where rhythm is frozen to a second, a moment of intimacy on a primal level. Remember your first dance, the rawness of

Men of Mettle
Mettle, its a word we hardly hear in every day life anymore. Most dictionaries define mettle similarly as "Courage and fortitude; spirit. An inherent quality of character and temperament." It seems there is a general basic lack of mettle these days, where people took struggle, discomfort and pain and turned it into something positive, Gospel, soul,

Devils Dance
When you dance with the devil, you will have to pay her dues. Here is a vision I had, drawn many years ago, i'm not even aware of where she came from nor what inspired her layout, composition, nothing but stumbling across the drawing made me realize that she had "something", maybe "Something to say" or what have you but definitely something. She is devious, she is

Perilous P
Pac man was evil… A pure perilous pirating thief! Stealing and hoarding the food of the colorful ghosts the running away then energizing himself just to turn the chase around and devour his tormentors! Over and over with a seemingly endless appetite that not only involved himself but eventually involving his entire family to join him on his compulsory crusade of carnage!

The Boss
I love to foreshorten. its an integral ingredient in many of my works. This is a piece based on personal simple pleasures for myself. (I'm really just showing off my 3D graffiti skills but that's between us only, shhhh). After beginning the 3D style of graffiti i immediately grew bored of it, as is

Whose In Charge?
A very fabulous painter friend of mine once told me that i am always in control of my paintings, that i am the master" of my works, which i already knew. but when he then states that he is the opposite, that he is the slave to his works, wow. Blew my mind. The painting is the master to the artist. Its a control that as an artist im not disciplined enough

First Loves
This is not a painting about my first girlfriend, way back in high school, although it is dedicated secretly to her. In her blond petiteness, her innocentness. No, this is a painting about the time, the time we all have, the beginning, the start of all things in each of our lives. Remember when we could
