The Uncle

There's something to be said about being a "Monkey's Uncle"
This piece is available through Gallery 1988

Ophelia, Another Queen of the Sea Monkeys

After much consideration,
I decided to paint the original sketch I had for the Sea Monkey Queen

The Choker

After a long holiday season of punishing the "misbehaved" by choking or squeezing them, . . . this Krampus spends the "off" season gardening and landscaping. They can be seen at a Home Depot or Lowe's buying lumber and shrubs.
However, . . .many of them are still open to be employed as chokers or stranglers, . . .their services can be acquired for a nominal fee that usually includes lunch.

Krampus

Sketch for new Krampus piece

the great mailbox incident of 2007

On Friday I went Williamsburg, Brooklyn to deliver some artwork for the upcoming Art Dorks show at McCaig-Welles Gallery on Roebling St and then onto Manhattan to meet up with an artist agent to discuss some work I may be doing(I just needed to see if the work was within the realm of possibility for me)
After a long day of driving in and out of NYC I get home and go to sleep. It must have been a really deep sleep, . . .because when i woke up the following day I was told that someone had gone through my neighborhood and wrecked a bunch of mailboxes and chopped down some trees. I was really surprised I slept through the damage. They had attacked my mailbox with an ax (the cut marks were clearly visible) Rotten ax-wielding kids!!
I spent my Saturday re-constructing my mailbox just like about half my neighbors had the same problem, . . .I hear it was even worse around the block.
