Litter Box

This afternoon's mess.


Last night I finished this really late.


It is not really stylish, but I like it.


I started this really, really late.


Something makes me feel tranquil when flowers get involved.


When framed, drawn pictures become hanging works.

Mustard Rub

Oil pastel self- portrait


I did it this afternoon


I was cooking naked because it was hot in the house.


the latest stage in this painting's metamorphosis


it used to be this



here is how it began at first


an abstract one


although, still a self portrait.


the oil pastels have been so calming


there's no pressure with this medium


they are colorful and satisfying without feeling the stressfulness of paint or charcoal

Trollin'

Night Rally

Not done with this yet. It's still finding its way out.


The one on the left is what I just finished.


The blue one is still going through a phase. The one on the chair just needs a trim.


I have to do all of them at once. Paint dries a different speeds and I can't wait for it. Multiple projects are more inspiring and also the only way my creativity can cope with my impatience.


A sketch to lubricate the brain a little.


An exaggerated charcoal.


I think I ruined this because I can't stand white, blank canvas. So far every color has looked shitty in comparison to the way I had it in the first place. Fuck.


This is my exact facial expression.


Even I'm impressed by the subtleties.

Keeping the Dog Awake

I started this days ago. It is inspired by my niece, Miranda.


finally finished it tonight


this started out with my face. I was feeling so ugly.


then it took on an entire personality of its own


just checking out angles. I fucked it up big time, but the composition is good, I think.

In No Particular Order

I was eighteen when I did this


sketch I did on the beach in Playa Del Carmen

I like the bottom half of this charcoal


another lady on the beach in Mexico

I always draw myself fatter than I really am


charcoal


Sarah and I got drunk and started crying. Then I drew her.


wide load


drawing of Dave in the dark in our living room.


Ambien sleep


my hair was all wet and unbrushed- it looked too ugly not to draw


lamp, wine, Bambu


I had this framed for Dave


Kitty


me


my face in Mexico


Dave and me


Davey


my mom's face


us


girl pissed


unchanged


I did this in 2005, when I was drinking, doing coke and Xanax


2005- up all night. I painted this on an actual mirror. By the time I was done, I was so fucked up that my vision was terribly blurry. As you can see.


this is perfect


druggy


charcoal I entered in the Naked show


this painting took many forms before it got to this. I am so proud.


I did this at seventeen.


I thought charcoal on white paper was very "Naked" - just bare. no colors or distracting mediums.


I did this at eighteen


This is very soft when you feel it.


I think I was nineteen when I painted this one


still a troubled teen


oil pastel


the orchids from Sunday night


I painted this last year in 2006 for my friend's birthday. She didn't seem to care, so I kept it.


This is so much better in person.


this one is very soft too


this is the painting of Dave's Birthday Vase


it has really great texture. it's slick

I'm proud of this one too


I'm getting this one framed for Dave next


He loves the pose


up close this is incredible


I hope it's not lame to praise my own art work


but I really care for it


it is what I love to do


It just feels good to do it


it makes me happy
