Behind the Scene at Sullies

Many have asked about my "day" job. The following video allows for one to sneak a peek in the kitchen of the restaurant I work. The video (from 04 Dec 2008) was initially taken to document the mishap my buddy Tim had while cracking pepper over a guest's salad, I then went on to do a quick tour:

Lucky Lizard calls for more flipbooks!

Lucky Lizard called yesterday for more flipbooks. I packaged another half dozen right away and got them down there by 5. I also debuted the Ambassador Peanut line. Also, you can get your very own peanut carving in a glass vile on a necklace. If you've not been to Lucky Lizard, the Museum of the Weird is a must see.

2008 - 2009 commission

My latest commission is my last of 2008 and also my first of 2009. Dr. Arturo Espinoza of Austin Texas has asked me to creat a piece for his new home. The dimensions are 40" x 30" x 1.5". My usual technique is to extract representational imagery from abstract patterns. In this case, Dr. Espinoza has asked me to extract another abstract pattern. I will be updating this blog as I progress. As of today I have spent 14 hours applying the first layer of color to the white canvas. Time is eaten up quickly at this stage as I am having to color around every line in the drip painting! The first layer is a canary yellow with an amberish color as the goal.

Man In The Peanut - This is what Abstract Extractionism has gotten me into! What a journey it has been since I discovered the Sage of the Leguminati. I even created a profile for him at MySpace!
