Small Pieces

One of my New Year's resolutions was to clean up the studio a bit, beat back the accumulated bedlam.  Part of the chaos is a small pile of watercolor paper scraps, leftovers from prepping larger paintings.  So, in an attempt to shrink the pile, I've been doing some small studies, mostly alternate versions of cars that show up in larger paintings.  No mermaids, tentacles, or improbable situations, just a pure vehicular experience.

Surf Weirdos #16

I believe an artist should have at least one giant eyeball painting in their portfolio.  It rounds out one's body of work in a way that a still life can't match.

This is my 101st blog post.  My, how the time flies.  It only seems like yesterday since Blog Post Number One exploded onto the scene like an armored car through a pyramid of soup cans.  I have to find some confetti and an alcoholic beverage to celebrate.

Flotsam

Because it makes perfect sense to put a seafoam green car in the sea, doesn't it?

Weirdos On Other Planets

Planetary probes launched by the National Space Program have captured images of weirdos on Mars, Venus, and Mercury.  This is the first evidence we've seen suggesting that weirdos are a contagious phenomenon.  Scientists have yet to explain how the contagion spreads between planets, though some have hypothesized that weirdness may just naturally occur on planets with certain qualities.  This hypothesis has become unofficially known as "spontaneous weirdening".
