Guitar Guru



These oil paintings are part of a series of cubist inspired figurative pieces I'm slowly working on. It started with this one that I did in art school, "Guitar Holding A Man" (shown above). I realized making this one (below) that I hate working on a canvas that's completely square.


These paintings have been lying around my apartment for the last year and a half unfinished. This weekend I decided to finish them up once and for all.

The Hobo Kat Doll




Hobo Kat is an original character created by Mirco Chen that I can't get enough of. I made this for him for his birthday. My brother André made Hobo Kat's banjo (that guy can make anything out of cardboard.) Check out some Hobo Kat sketches on Mirco's blog.

Tough Decisions For Candy Face




I saw this kid at the video store. She had severe candy face.  Despite the fact that she had obviously been eating candy all day, she was allowed one treat to enjoy with her movie. The only problem was that everything she picked up seemed impossible to put back down...

Metamorphosis



This is how I picture this scene from the Franz Kafka short story. As Gregor awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. Gregor tries to explain the inexplicable, but his voice is not human and the situation can only get worse.

Portraits



My Great Aunt


A pretty depressing portrait of my Mom that doesn't really suit her personality.


A friend of my mom's who has a great face

I can't claim these are new drawings, I guess they're pretty old now but I need to warm up a bit with the posting, and I don't really have anything new to post. These are all pastel and conte on coloured paper, and the middle one has india ink as well. They all measure approximately 26 x 18 inches I think.

I hope no one I knew in college sees this. They'll finally know I haven't done anything new in the last 3 years.
