We keep painting

I'm not so sure I stay connected to my youth through my paintings or that they keep me "forever young", but I do like to try and capture the feeling of wonder I got from when I was a boy watching those atomic age sci-fi and horror films. If anything, the act of painting keeps me grounded and maybe has a kind of "Rip Van Winkle effect". Time seems to stop, when I'm working on my pieces. I feel like I should always try and have a healthy, almost playful, enthusiasm about making my paintings and I hope some of that translates to the people viewing the work at exhibitions.

This art-making is a tricky business.

coming up next


My next show is about the strange myths my characters believe in;
the myth of floaters, the origin of the "bad hair", the myth of the "others", . . . all this and more coming to New York in July
Hope to see you there.

random thoughts





I Painted this tune-up painting for Joshua Liner Gallery
I have a show coming up there in July.
I'm very excited about the prospect of a showing in my hometown and working with such a nice gallery.
