stars, bras, drums, dumps.

theres a new header image. i found an old series of something that is either a drawing or a painting, i dont know. probably the cheapest materials ive ever worked with: copy paper turned black with really crappy ink and these starts cut out of 'stick-on' faux-wood linoleum. theyre cool. really.

Christian McBride is a recent discovery for me. a dude that works with me passed me his latest live cd. i was blown away, repeatedly. i still have to pick up my jaw when i hear Terron Gulley play drums - really simple fusion set, and he WAILS on a nice thin, bright 24" ride cymbal. his bass drum work is insane at times, so i had to make these two hot hot pictures.

if you're a facebook friend, you may have cocked your head off slightly to the right when i posted a few days of "im going to draw bras." i only hit two good pieces out of a few odd starts. ink, acrylic, and some 'teener-girl-sleepover' colored sharpies. my wife has good taste, i dont know if that comes out in the work.

i have a picture of Caroline Kennedy holding 'lil john hanging in my studio. it has collected some splayed ink and some crinks from hitting the floor once or twice. one night i was doing blind contours and that picture hit me as being rather sad; memories, death, black & white. i and waited days in between sessions so that it could all dry - ink, watercolor, acrylics. sad caroline kennedy.
