These are very much not done. They are a part of a thing I'm doing with a great artist named Brett Hunter, from Illinois. He mailed me awesome drawings that I am currently mangling with colour and ink, and I sent him these to impose his will upon. I think this whole process is super fun, even if nothing that awesome comes of it.

The best this world has to offer

Some of the Work I did in May 2007

I quit my job and moved to New Brunswick for the month of May 2007. In that time I did 15 paintings that looked something like these. It was remarkably easy to be productive while staying at Nicole Legault's studio, as it was situated between the ocean and the forest.

While making these I was considering place a lot (obviously?). That month in Moncton really made me feel some things I hadn't expected to. Mostly, that the 17 years I had previously spent in NB were somehow trumped by only a few in Toronto. Moncton really wasn't my home in any respect anymore.

I mostly like these paintings now because it was the beginning of me being OK with listing Looney Tunes as a major influence of mine.

My greatest inspiration.

Way Old

Here's a super old painting.
It was a commission and huge.
I'm not that into it, but it was a place to start from, right?
