Merry Christmas !!!!!!!

Two Gorillas to go !!

Well I finally finish the paintings for the show in Paris totaling 18.  The truck came to pick up the work, they will drive them to NYC, crate them then ship to Paris.  I felt like this Silverback Gorilla just jump off my shoulder.  Now I have to work on getting the other two gorillas of my shoulders too. Lately I've been getting inspired by images of vintage sports  and circus photos.  I've already started incorporating them in my paintings, also I'm working on something interesting I will release on a later date.  Christmas Eve, I guess Santa's elves aren't the only ones working in the middle of the night. Merry Christmas to all, hope the economy doesn't have everyone down, let's get back to what Christmas really means, being surrounded by people you love and giving praise for what you do have.

Paris or Bust !!

Here's three of the paintings that will be included in my solo show in Paris, with Galarie Nordine Zidoun, January 17, 2009.  This will be my first show out of the country.  I'm also having a solo show in New York with Dillon Gallery a week before, showing my paintings and photography.

Miscegenation Series

An ongoing series about interracial relationships.  There will be 30 images in all, each measuring 16 x 20 in.

Going Grey

As a tribute to myself going grey, I've been working on a series of men who are Grey.  This is a series I will be working on for about three years.  So far it's been a  treat, not only capturing great images, but also hearing great stories in the process.  I understand what they mean by Grey as a sign of wisdom.  I would never think about dyeing my hair, but if I did have a choice in the matter, I would rather be totally grey then Salt & Pepper.  Giving me that Moses look, now if I could only find those Stone Tablets.

What I'm listening to.....

I'm getting ready for an art festival, don't have too many days left.  So to get my juices flowing I've been play these Artist in heavy rotation.  You can't go wrong with "Grown Folks" music.

Wet Paint !!!!!

Here's a Painting I'm working on at the moment, I will post other paintings I've just finished soon.  It's a baby in a sweet potato, that's being lifted in the air by balloons.  Talk about a wild imagination.  We'll see how this ends up.
