The Future Is Now

I've been thinking it's time to blog again (if for no other reason because It's usually time to update my website...more on that in a few days)-But I've also been thinking of starting a regular "feature" here called something like...well, something like what I've written as my title here-"The Future Is Now". It'll just be a collection of stories and mostly video clips that show how fast things are beginning to move. You know those jet-packs we were promised? They're on the way. Sorry about the video over-lap here...I'll try to fix that. Y'know, in the future.

"Harvest Time"

On display now at Quicksilver Mine Co. in Forestville. Those that have seen my art for a while will recognize a slight return to a personal mythos (the deer-man figure), but combined with my ongoing love and exploration of circus graphics and Mexican street art. It's about 37"x48".Also-I'm on the cover of the current issue of the North Bay Bohemian, which is pretty cool. I started the painting that this cover uses late last year and in fact the above "Harvest" piece is a somewhat sequel to this. The painting is almost finished-I just need to add my words to the banner, which will be the painting's title--"The Hunter's Star".

"Never Not Working"

I came across this short on British artist David Shillinglaw the other week, and really like a lot of what he says about art and being an artist. I definitely relate to his short-attention span, and how he uses that to his advantage. And I like how he frames art as being somewhat between religion and science, embracing "confusion" as a means toward discovery. I think he's on to something here...

A Short Film About Sign Painting

Maybe some of you know that a long time ago (the early 80's) in a galaxy far, far away (Livermore), I worked for a time as a sign painter (this was even before I went to art school).
For a while now in my own paintings-and especially in my work with B.L.T., I've reconnected with my sign painter past. I was never a great letterer-and I'm still rather proudly clumsy-but there's something in the practice of painting letters that I do really enjoy (separate from their actual or implied meaning). Anyway-I came across this short of sign painter Damon Styer of "New Bohemia Signs" in San Francisco-and thought I'd share.

"Happy Accident"-- a show of B.L.T. paintings now in Healdsburg

A while back, Lisa posted about the fun we were having (Lisa & I & our good friend Bob Stang) working together on some collaborative paintings. On Friday, we hung the first show of a batch of them (14) all together. The show is up at the Flying Goat, a lovely coffee venue in Healdsburg (419 Center Street). On March 19, Saturday (I think at 8pm?) we'll be throwing them a little party. Hope to see you there!
