Two Recent Paintings

"We are Far More Fearful Than Statistics and Objective Evidence Would Lead Us to Be" oil on wood panel, 24x30"

The new paintings I have been making over the past few months have been somewhat of a departure from the previous ones before them. I have started using oil primarily and have been expanding more on different parts of the paintings I was making previously. Hopefully those of you who have been following my work for the past few years will enjoy the growth and change. To grow as an art maker and stay honest, I hope to be continually growing, changing, and really dialing in what's important. 

Feel free to leave a comment about how bewildered and upset you are that the neon digital illustrations are setting on the horizon. I am excited to keep developing new work. Paintings aren't stopping. Drawings aren't stopping. Here's a couple to get things started. 

"Senseless and Standing Still" oil on wood panel, 26x36"

  • I love your digital artwork, but I actually prefer your traditional pieces. They’re a lot softer, more emotional and (as is said on twitter yesterday) your colour work is great. Really looking forward to watching how your work evolves.

  • I’ve been following your work for a few years now and I’ve enjoyed watching the changes and seeing the variety. I can’t imagine that you’ll receive any negative feedback on these!

  • I completely agree with Karina. Your traditional work seems to have more depth to it. I can’t wait to see where it progresses to !

  • I just wanted to say how much I thoroughly enjoyed finding your work today. Really interesting handling of the figure and space. You sketchbooks are also fantastic!

  • I haven’t seen anything this creative in a long time, very interesting composition here the layers are pretty haunting but engaging, of course!
