Ladies of the Lake

Just completed this and I'm working on its companion piece. This is a new direction for me and as many of you know - I've been focusing on contemporary Saints... although I just put the finishing touches on "Saint Joey Ramone" and have the "Saints of the Music Industry" to finish... I'm moving on.

Update - The Boat

Hello...
A few new pics of the boat I'm building... and with good reason.



Installed at Autumn Lights LA

In a series of paintings...
a theme I explore sometimes...
I will continue to grapple with the notion of worship, religion and the interaction of men and women in our society.

If you know of anyone who might be interested... please forward, post or feel free to contact me.

Graffiti by Definition - or Necessary Information?

On a typical day, I imagine I walk around Downtown Los Angeles as much as anyone. I consider myself an Observationalist. To the amazement of friends, I’ll often point out an odd assortment of things most people don’t see, or seem to miss.









But I am sure you’ve noticed your share of oddities and I more or less wanted to point out a peculiarity of the city, (a form of graffiti I found) then to suggest I see better than anyone else.



Graffiti (singular: graffito; the plural is used as a mass noun) is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property.
