The Great Gugga Mugga

Discovered in South America at the turn of the last century, this rare Krampus had been in hiding since the great nostril incident at Stockholm in 1895.
During the holiday season, he would punish the wicked by inserting his thumb and index finger into the nostrils and lifting his victims off the ground several times.
The after effects are a harsh facial disfigurement with super-sized nostrils.

Roq La Rue Show

The Great Woolly Krampus

He sneaks up on his victims and surprises them with a passionate kiss on the lips.
This is no small feat, since he stands at almost 3 meters in height.
Once his lips make contact, a quick hair-growing affliction ensues, usually covering their entire body with hair (much like "cousin It" on the Addams Family)
During the holiday season, large balls of hair roll through Bavarian towns like tumbleweeds.

Opening up on April 11th,
I'll be sharing a double-headliner at the mighty Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle
with artist Femke Heimstra and her remarkable acrylic paintings.

I'm very excited about this show, . . .It will be the largest collection of my paintings on display ever.
I'll be attending.

Sneak Peek from the next exhibition

I've been binge-painting again, . . . not much sleep, . . . but happy with the results thus far. I thought I'd post one of the paintings going to the next exhibition.

He is Sad Mr Grimace

I wanted to show a subtle sadness to his expression and also maintain the level of kindness in his face that I like to imply in most of the characters that I paint.

He's part of a family of underground dwellers that usually live under old oak trees.
They usually don't like to pose for photographs because the flash makes their hair stand up.

What's next

I'm gearing up for my next show at Roq La Rue gallery in Seattle, . . .it will be the largest exhibition of my work to date, . . .and I'm really excited! The other artist exhibiting there that month, is Femke Hiemstra. Her work is remarkable, . . .I may have to buy one of her pieces before she gets too big.

It will be in the month of April 2008.
