“The Bolero Shield”, from the Early Work Archive

This is one of my first attempts at oil painting, from nearly 25 years ago. The concept comes from an episode of the original Outer Limits series.It was an episode I remembered seeing once, but hadn’t seen in over a decade, so my interpretation of the alien was not intended to be at all faithful…

The Menagerie

This is #4 of a series of 12, 3X4 ft. acrylic paintings done >20 years ago. [Note: I actually did all but 3 of these before I started at UCLA. During my first semester I had a painting class in which the teacher rejected this style because it was figurative, and she made abstract work.]…

Visiting the Dead (early work from the archives)

Periodically I’ll introduce something I did a long, long time ago. I used to do pieces like the above by smearing charcoal on paper, then looking for whatever imagery would crop up, then realizing it by drawing, smearing, and erasing. I think the eraser was the tool I used the most. I wanted to use…

New art: Vehicular Monster Slaughter 01. This one's a collab with AI.
Blue headed tree Agama lizard in the local park. I didn't adjust the color at all or use a filter. That's how nature made him.

Graphic I made for my blog post. Everybody seems to know and admire Pulitzer prize winner for art criticism, Jerry Saltz. But he ain't no Robert Hughes. In my latest article I dissect 6 times he face-planted astronomically. Link to my blog in profile, or copy/paste: https://artofericwayne.com/2022/03/12/better-call-saltz-or-not/
