i found this pallete in a basement

i was helping a friend clean her basement and i found this. i believe it was hers from when she was a child. i cleaned it out and filled it with my own paints. it's smaller than i'm used to, but the constraint feels good.

and his hair was perfect.

watercolor and ink pen.

welcome to the new blog

well, since vulomedia died on me and all my links are totally busted, i decided that it was time to start a brand new blog. a brand new beginning that oddly coincides with the ending of summer and the death of all the green that has been around us. i spent some of the day out at a lake in peter's township painting with my aunt. it was such a beautiful day and, somehow, i ended up with a pretty ominous looking piece. to counteract that, i'm including some smiling fruit that i found at the bottom of a pile of drawings stacked in my studio. and then to counteract that, i'm adding my piece for a dios de los muertos food bank benefit shot extravaganza show that i'm participating in at the end of the week. if you're in pittsburgh, come to the shadow lounge friday night between 7 pm and 11 pm. buy some art and help feed me and others who somehow have found a way to have less money than i do :)

it feels good to have a functioning blog again!
