For the Zine. Art is for the masses!...i'll be taking Part in New Bedford's 1st annual Un-Open studios....An Artist Grassroots movement / response to the elitist Artists found locally...I'll be Painting live at the Abattoir on Sept 29-30...check it. New Bedford's Unopen Studios.......

I have been working on a pair of Cornhole (bean Bag toss)  Boards for a customer...they came to me Well built and unprimed, Boards measure 24 x 40".  The Customers request was to depict the video Game Characters "Evil Ryu" and "Ken" from the Street fighter Series...I prepped and primed and got down with an Aerosol Back ground....then rendered 30" tall characters with Aerosol Paint...finish with a stencil layered for the logo and a clear coat.

...I am a strong proponent of small scale urban livestock and local procurement of Foul, Chickens, Seagulls Pigeons and Pigea-gulls aka: Squabs.......I 'm working on a painting series regarding such.many of the paintings feature Aerosol Back grounds, Acrylic figures and in some of the birds heavy use of texture via palette knife and acrylic modeling paste..............

city over the Bay..6x9' 45sec Yesterday, I had the opportunity to try a medium called "light Painting" or "Light Graffiti"...It involves using a Fixed camera in complete darkness with a long 30sec/3min exposure...and using light ( led flashlights, glow sticks, lasers, flares etc)...in my experience it involved drawing in space with a LED flashlight...imagine being in complete darkness and creating large images on an imaginary wall..and you don't even have to move fast...which simply amazes me....pics all were done in under 45 secs..note text must be written in reverse which presents its own challenges...........also interesting is that you can have a conversation with your self (single exposure!).and NO DIGITAL ENHANCEMENT WAS DONE (Photoshop etc).....a Big thank you to Photog Heath Pettine for showing me this amazing medium....there will be more...oh yes there will be more!  link for some light painting picasso did...
