New Art: (#14) The Sphynx

Yes, folks, I originally spelled “The Sphinx” wrong, looked it up, and preferred the wrong spelling. It’s just more cool to me spelled my way, and, you could say it reflects my alternative version. This is the 14th in this series, and if you don’t know, the parameters are that I work exclusively from the…

New Art: (#13) Spoke an Old Yellow Dog

Today I offer this odd painting with a Symbolist look about it. The title just came to me. The old yellow dog said something? I guess it did. This is weird art or weird art’s sake.

New Art: (#12) Saucer Full of Secrets

With each new piece I try to do something a little different, and there are a few things about this one that are new to the series. First, this is the only one where I used my digital impasto technique. It seemed appropriate for another new thing, which is the under-water location. Another odd bit…

New Art: (#11) Man Is A Monster, SFB.

I’m pleasantly surprised I was able to pull this off, and by that I just mean reach a stage where there’s really nothing left to do. I think I won’t say anything about it. It seems so rife for possible interpretations, as were the last two. Anyone wanna’ take a crack at it? Don’t go…

New Art: (#10) Look What the Tide Washed Up

This one is in roughly the same style as #9, largely because I made them at the same time and would switch back and forth between them until it was time to knock one out. This may be my favorite of the styles I’ve used in this series so far, partly because it looks so…

New Art: (#9) Truth is Indifferent to the Seeker of Truth

This one is a bit unexpected. Since I always try to surprise myself – which is part of what keeps me going – I expect to come up with something I haven’t done before. This is completely unlike #8, which was completely unlike #7, at least in terms of technique. #7 was all lines, and…

New Art: (#7) Mechanical Man

Here’s the preliminary drawing I made. It’s super late for me. Well, 3:30 in the morning. I had to finish this before going to sleep to keep pace with my self-imposed productivity schedule, which is, one image for three days (and it used to be one per day but the images got harder). Speaking of…

3 Preliminary Drawings, and a Practice Painting

Hi folks. I did a few preliminary drawings last night. I inverted them to see how they’d look white on black, and then worked on them in that mode. Different things come forward in the negative. Here I’m going for a more abstracted drawing. I’m thinking of making all of these into paintings to see…

New Art: (#6) The Wrath of Fish

Man (or woman), I gotta’ say – this one took it out of me. This one, I struggled with the color scheme, the composition, the subjects, and, well, everything. Some pieces just come together, but this one put up a fight, much like an oversized fish on the line. But, finally it seemed to gel.…

New Art: (#4) Watchers of the Sky

Hey folks. Here’s my latest, and #4 in the series. This one took a bit longer, possibly because I think I branched out into some new territory, maybe crossed a creak or two, did some rock hopping, and assayed a new vista.

Dark Art for Bright People: 16 Artists

[The gallery shows artists I’ll feature in this post.] I have to face it. A lot of people don’t like my art because of the content. They say it is unpleasant! And people suggest I tone it down, and switch up my subject matter for something more peaceful or uplifting, or at least not as…

That's the thumbnail for my latest YouTube video. This one's somewhat straight up art history, plus some original observations and analysis you won't see anywhere else. Artists see things academics and AI doesn't. Yes, people now use AI to write their art videos.
