Old frames

These frames were donated to me recently. They are both from the rural house that my (now 97!) Grandmother grew up in. Not sure yet what imagery I will create for the frames to accompany, but they'll have to be quite special given the provenance (or, psychometry if you're a believer). Both frames are approximately 16"x20" 

Bride of Boopenstein

Here is the whole painting I created for Slushbox Gallery's NERDCORE III group show that opened on Saturday. It was a fun challenge to create a painting with just black and white. It is a tribute to two of my favorite things to paint: cartoons and monsters. The cartoons are all from the era before color, some of the characters are rather obscure. The frame is custom as well

New painting for May show - sneak peek #2

Here is sneak peek #2 of the yet-to-be-revealed-titled-painting for a group show in May. This is a closeup of the frame. It's pretty old...

Felix Frame

Work progresses on the cat painting. And THIS is just the frame! (We call that a 'teaser' in the industry.)
