Collage on wood cradle board. 3 rd in a series.

Traditional 1959s woman with a rib cage stamped over her body. Words to the right “nothing better than to go out periodically and break American domestic politics “

Thank you! It’s a part of a series I’m working on. I’ll post the other one shortly.

Couple collages. First one done on a small composition notebook, second on cradle wood panel.

Woman’s face looking right. People shouting the rhetoric of the moment

Woman in traditional 50s clothing but a large rib cage over top her body. Torn between happy irreverence and radical blind rage

Did another painting with rust. But it’s the rusty numbers that tell you what this is about.

Large rectangular painting wit distressed blue ,off white and red sections. Large rusty star in the center. Lower right hand corner has rusty numbers 8647

Close up of red distressed background and the numbers 8647

I’ve been experimenting and exploring rust for the past few months.

So I took one of my earliest paintings (left) that I was proud of and repainted it (right). I think this shows how far I’ve come in a year and it’s encouraging me to continue.
Let me know what you think.

Turquoise background with texture 2/3rds the way down painted a rusty color

I did this little piece the other day. I really like the rusty bits.

Teal and turquoise canvas with rusty mandalas.

Another quick snap of a piece I’ve finished. I think this weekend I’m going to go a bit bigger than this 10x10.

Strange People

This actually looks better up close because you can see the hints of images and text beneath the layers of grunge and distress.

16x20 gallery wrapped canvas

Cream and red painting with top third in cream and bottom in various shades of red. Bits of text and distress all overhead

Area of texture and distress. Cream on top and brownish red on bottom. A red 5 peeking through the cream area

Textured area of various shades of red. Hints of text peeking through. The words Strange People most obvious

Off white textured area with distressed marks and chipped paint

Thank you so much!
Sometimes it’s hard to keep tossing things into the void. Your comment was very much needed.

Sometimes I paint on watercolor paper.
I’m finally honing in on the way I want to paint, at least smaller scale. Large scale is altogether different.
Anyway. Fuck the Comstock Laws and I’m afraid we’re going to be seeing more about them in the future.

Abstract with top and bottom sections of peachy orange. Middle section in a pale aqua. Bits of fluorescent pink and browns as distress and a fluorescent pink piece of paper with “Comstock Law” on it.

Sometimes my art is practical.
I made some ornaments a few years ago and while decorating the tree this year I was struck by how pretty it is.
I should make more of these.

Round ornament in shades of gold, brown, teal and turquoise blue.

Sometimes my art turns out exactly how I wanted.

This needs to be said more often. I replied to an Economist post with pretty much the same response.
They all need to be told to shut the fuck up with their nonsense

I forgot to hashtag it. *🙄*.

Worked on this today. It's a 9x12 piece of watercolor paper. I typically used this medium to try out ideas before putting them on canvas.
I'm really not sure about the rust stain in the image on the right. Maybe I should leave it off?
Opinions please.

Urban decay painting with top 1/3 turquoise blue and bottom part dirty beige. Raised protest fist in black in a faded distressed manner. Freedom on bottom left faded and missing parts of letters from age. Hints of yellow between the two colors.
