If one thing got me through last winter, it was furiously painting. So I plan on utilizing this same defense mechanism to claw my way through the early, dreary months of 2015. Right now I’m working on a Pittsburgh series. I just finished Rick Sebak (if you live in Pittsburgh and don’t know who that is, shame on you!) I have Warhol and Mister Rogers waiting in the wings. Mario Lemieux is in line back there, too.
On New Year’s Day, I painted some of the main players of the OJ Simpson trial. I call it “Simpson Trial Recess.” Glenn said it was “real special” and Henry was like, “I was too busy knocking back cases of Coors Lite while crying over my failing marriage to pay attention to what OJ Simpson was doing in 1995, so I do not recognize any of these people you literally spent the entire day painting, congratulations.”
I, on the other hand, was OBSESSED with the trial. So I’m pretty giddy about this and can’t wait to find a gaudy frame for it!
This is my aunt Susie’s dog, Tess!
“Sweet Teeth” – I painted this one last year and forgot that I stashed it in a drawer one day when I was “cleaning.” Because I’m a real “artist.”
In between a few customs I have on tap, I’m working on a big Twin Peaks group portrait thing. I love Twin Peaks.

In other news, Henry ate a seitan hoagie today because OMG vegetarian food isn’t all that bad after all.

That ice cream painting! LOVE!!
I know there is a story behind your interest in the trial; you must tell it!!! Did people groan as you forced them to watch it with you?
And, as always, your work is brilliant.
