Hey Kids! Comics!
Blustery and frigid winter has made February its home here. We got a mild November and December, January could not make up its mind, but the last 2 weeks have been definitive, lock down winter. We even have snow, of which the Squish approves. I feel cheated when it’s frigid and brown. I love the…

State of the Squish
Room of Remembrance, Monotype, 15×22″ I’m going to wrap up a few odds and ends as I gear up for Spring. I’ve spent most of January spamming people. Or hopefully, bac’ning them. Bacn being the kind of spam that you voluntarily sign up for because you have a genuine interest in the subject matter. As…

Update: I love this time of year, as the days brighten a bit. It’s also a good time for a fresh start in the studio, and I plan on some sketchbook time with new ideas later. I’ll post some of these, as well as work from the end of 2010. But first, I’ll wrap up…

Cold ‘fusion
Winter finally did arrive here, 6-7 inches worth, along with the frigid local tradition known as “Stock Show Weather”, named after the National Western Stock Show. I don’t mind. We need the moisture; it’d been mostly 50’s with sun all through December- and I have a long list of computer projects to catch up on.…

I have to say, I crack myself up a little when I do this stuff, and am not totally convinced that anyone else really gets the joke. This is a ghost of a fairly experimental picture that I called “Incomplete Still Life”, which contained the distressed table and distorted perspective of a floor, or maybe…

Blu Xmas
Blu Xmas, Acrylic, 12×12″ My friend Dea down at Plastic Chapel on Colfax invited me to enter her Square Footage show. Plastic Chapel mostly sells cutting edge toys and collectibles, such as Smorkin’ Labbits, and Neo-Realism in her small gallery. So I decided something fun was in order. Here’s what I came up with, a…

Checkin’ the List
Sun breaking through the clouds after a gray morning; shimmering on the lake, shining on dry fallen leaves. I’m on my second pot of coffee, catching up on blog and Facebook posting, and sorting work for a group show at Zip37 gallery. Last year at this time, I didn’t have a lot to do, so…

An eventful fall around here, not you all might be expected to know it, from reading the World’s Worst Blogger! Here’s a quick recap of what I’ve been up to: *Two workshops, an eight-week and a one-day, completed this Fall. They were well attended and a lot of fun. The next one begins early in…

I’m shocked- SHOCKED! to learn that I was off pursuing important projects in education , art marketing, and social networking, no one has bothered to update this blog. Eyes will roll! I thought I’d made a pretty savvy hire for a support staff, millions of monkeys armed with millions of cast-off Remington Selectrics, working for…
