Mural with paintings

Here is a shot from Open Studios again.  I painted a mural and installed eight paintings on top.  The mural is something I am considering doing in a future exhibition.  Half of these paintings are finished and half are not.

Selections From CSF UCP Open Studios

   This image features John Raux & Seth Jenkins as part of their take on the Game Installation

This image features The Big Sho, he was the last participate in the Game he was so into it at one point he slide down one of the mini curve shapes and got injured.  But after a little cry was ready for more, what an art trooper I say!

OH, my these are small paintings

So these two paintings are super small for me no side over 12".

The image of the one on top is finished but still needs a title.

The image of the one on the bottom is not finished but does have a working title Victorian Dinosaurs.

 I also have two more of these small paintings that at this time are very early in the works.

All of these will be on view at the UCP open studio's on the weekend of May 18-19, my studio is in the Town Pavilion Building at 1100 Walnut St. Kansas City MO, for more information about the open studio's go to www.charlottestreet.org or www.urbanculturestudioresidents.wordpress.com.

Studio Visit #1 This Year

This is a picture that Michelle took of my studio the other day thought it looked pretty cool so I decided to share it here.

Here is Michelle visiting the studio on a different day and we were talking about how some of the forms I have need to hang on the wall. The one she is gesturing towards is one that will in new versions most likely hang on a wall. She did not even notice that I snapped this foto of her.

And for shits and giggles here is an earlier maquette CB Mellow (on the left) with another maquette that I am working on right now title unknown.


Side note for anyone who doesn't know Michelle is my lovely wife and the owner/operator of Two Tone Press.

just a diptych (in progress)

This is the left panel,

and this is the right panel.

This is a piece I started this past fall the panel sizes are about 18" x 24".
As new layers come and go I will post more of this piece. It is the first piece
that I started using the vinyl cutter to cut stencils for.

painting on paper

Here are two images from the studio the top one is a detail of a piece. While the bottom is an early stage of another.
