I just wanna do hoodrat stuff with my friend.

This heat is killing me. It doesn't help that when it gets this hot in my neighborhood it starts smelling like hot trash. I really want to go to the beach but I'm not sure if I trust the water in Santa Monica.. Anyway. In this crazy weather I still found just enough energy to be productive, and I got started on a few paintings. I never work on one painting at a time.. I kind of just work on two or three or even four simultaneously. It's easier that way (for me at least) and it makes me feel more productive...

So here are some pictures of my process so far:


I love painting on wooden panels! I get my panels made by a good guy named Chris Bundy, order stuff from him at Paint on This

This is one of my favorites of the bunch so far. Sometimes I don't even want to paint over these because I just end up liking the background texture too much. I think in the future I might want to do a few abstract pieces that are just straight up color and texture, without the figurative subjects and hopefully someone out there will dig it.



Recently I've been really into making digital collage composites as guides for my paintings. The one above is something I put together yesterday, and I'll end up drawing that image up onto one of the wooden panels... I need to replace my printer's ink cartridge.

Updates on my process coming soon :)
