playing catch up

still keeping things moving! just been lazy with posts. i figured i would do a blast of pics to keep you up to date. first off, i had the honor to be the portrait subject for an amazing artist and friend Aristides Ruiz. Art (for short) is currently based in NYC and is FIERCE with watercolor, ballpoint pen and anything else you put in front of him. the portrait was included in a group show at Lyons Wier Gallery, NY that will be up until Aug 11th. i also just cut down the stretcher bars i used for a recent commission and made a 57x72 canvas. i'm hoping to complete it for my solo show in Sept. the other pics are of some recently completed and in progress works.

Forgeries from China

a friend of mine just hipped me to this spot in China that does cheap knock offs and forgeries. i guess i'm famous because you can buy a knock of "Gonzalez" too!! in oil no less :)

you can see the link HERE.

grinding

i'm still here painting away. working toward my solo show in September at Beals and Abbate Fine Art. Also some works for Silver Queen Fine Art in Utah, shipped a piece off to Breeze Block Gallery in Portland OR for an upcoming group show and just did a piece for another group traveling show called The Great West Coast Migration. its about raising awareness for sharks. pretty awesome line up. i also recently shipped that large commission off to London. all this and i still have those moments of getting down on myself for not doing enough. such goes the path. back to work!
