This 'Art Thing' is getting out of hand...

It's been 7 days since I started painting. I've made 9 paintings, most of them good. I feel like I've improved with each one, too. I've been to art supply stores, Fred Meyer and thrift stores in search of inspiration and tools. I've Youtubed Yo MTV Raps extensively.


I was just commissioned for a 10-piece installation for Capitol Hill's Art Walk in March. My stuff will be displayed (and for sale) in Throwbacks NW for the entire month. The owner, Mark, said that he "digs my colors and the old-school vibe" and that it "goes with a lot of the inventory". Pretty excited for that.
Here's a couple from yesterday and the day before, respectively, that I snapped with my iPhone:
I call this one Illhouette

More to come, I'm sure...
