SOLD! "A Gift For Closure" 2019. Oil on Masonite. Super stoked to have sold two paintings yesterday to a very special collector I met a couple of weeks ago at another show. Her exact words were "I haven't been able to get my mind off of your originals for "A Gift For Closure" and "The Remembrance of You"." Sometimes you just connect to the work. The fact that these pieces still meant something to her, and stayed with her weeks later is usually an indication that adopting them is a good move. Shout out to all of you collectors who aren't afraid to take the plunge! . . . . . #artsales #monsters #raccoon #trashpanda #darkart #midnightmoon #fineartpaintings #gothic #victorian #framing #solo

It's that time of year where Halloween is right around the corner, and some of us are itching to see Jack-o-lanterns and skeletons, spiders and ghouls, witches and candy corn. How fitting for Friday the 13th to be happening right now. I'm headed to Son of @monsterpaloozaofficial this weekend in Burbank, so I thought I'd offer up my convention prices to everyone, even if you won't be there with me.

So sorry it's been pretty quiet on the art front, but I went to Burning Man and got back earlier this week. Been playing catch up ever since. In the meantime, here's a quickie portrait I did of a camp mate when he fell asleep. Enjoy! #pentelbrushpen #penandink #steampunk #cybergoth #darkart #portraits

Well, SF, you floored me. Whenever I start feeling the pressure of being in one of the most expensive cities in the world, I am reminded, yet again, as to why I'm here. The response to my artwork yesterday was absolutely overwhelming. Here's what I accomplished yesterday at Noise Pop's 20th Street Block Party (FREE!): -Huge jump start on advertising my Open Studios event at Pacific Felt Factory arts complex @pacificfeltfactory on October 26th & 27th (11-6). -Sold my original painting "Worship" to a patron of the arts and an SF veteran of 30 years! @tonziland -Finally got a chance to introduce my model Jewelz to her doppelganger in "The Garden of Goodbye" -Sold SO MANY prints to new collectors -Made some progress (albeit, very little) on my David Bowie commission -Had some great conversation. Whatever you're doing with your weekend, I hope it's been full of creativity and fun!
