Waldemar (gotta’ love that name] has been growing on me. I mean, I disagree with him quite a lot, not only in his assessments of art and artists, but just in terms of how he describes what we are looking at. He might declare a painting morose that I find quite chipper. But after initially…

Renoir is an object of hatred and scorn, but the criticism is myopic. When I said to reconsider Renoir, it’s from the last critical update, at which point, if you don’t already know, his status was solidified as a horrible painter and sexist pig-man.

Not only do they not share my background or social underpinnings, they don’t have access to my process and haven’t spent dozens of hours crafting the piece in question. We tend to think we…

My latest piece, just finished. This one reeks of me. I think anyone who knows my work, and especially my early paintings, would instantly know who was behind this image. I did it completely from my imagination, in a not-so-efficient manner. I tried an experiment of starting with a composition and color scheme I liked,…

These are my more serious new images. All are digitally created using only Photoshop, my own photos, drawings, and endless tablet work. Bellow the “gallery” are all the same images in standard format. Below are the same images. Some have links to in depth posts about them with close-ups, and background information about the process,…
