And then there were seven...

What an awesome show!

Out of 25 paintings, I came home with just 7. Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by, to Barry for being such a great host, and to Colin for taking on so much of the work (as always) at these events. I had a great time speaking with everyone, and really appreciate all the enthusiasm. Success!

Here's Barry's badass little Femme Fatale figures. Good work, sir!

The real buzz of the night was his in-process "Project Viki" which promises to be one of the coolest inventions ever in existence. I'm not quite sure where to begin explaining that one, so you'll have to check my blog next year for updates on when it will be unveiled. Just think The Time Machine meets old-school arcade games. Yup.

I need to remind myself to find water at some point in the evening on show nights. Inevitably, I end up talking so much that my mouth no longer forms words properly. Even better is the deterioration of brain function from the beginning of the night towards the end. Whereas I started off able to explain the nuances and intricacies of how I work with grace and intelligence, I ended the evening exhausted and confused, blathering some nonsense about balanced-chaos-zen-glow-peace-happy-acrylic-thick-long-time-floor-painting-rock-science-astronomy-universe-stars. I think that was an exact quote. My apologies to the nice art student at the end of the night who was forced to translate my half formed sentences. I blame delirium.

Anyway, this is what's left! (Update: All sold. Thanks!)

If you'd like one of these, email me and I'll reserve it for you. $50 each + $10 shipping if you don't live somewhere in South Orange County. (If you do, then no shipping charge.) Otherwise I'll try to get individual Etsy listings up later this week.

Thanks again!

All Twenty Five

1. natural lighting

2. artificial (interior) lighting

3. combined uv and interior lighting

4. uv lighting only

5. no light (glow in the dark)

Well, here they are. This set was a lot of fun to make. In a sense, I painted it like one large painting, though each one is intended to be sold individually. I'm not sure which l like more: the rainbow gradient, or the black-to-white metallic channels. Another bonus: You can mix and match! Buy a few that bring out all your favorite interior colors.

Each painting is 5x5 inches with a 1.5 inch edge, so it's like a little block of art. It can stand alone on a desk or shelf if you prefer. Or hang a few as a set. Super glow magic makes them glow all night. Extra fun when you wake up in the middle of darkness. :o) The sides are painted black and each one is individually signed in its own color (to match the background.)

$50 each!

A few close ups:

A few of them remind me very much of the inside of rocks. Like when my Grandpa would cut open a rock and there would be jagged, crystal-like craziness on the inside.

Did I mention $50?? :o)

Hope to see you at the show tomorrow! I suppose the earlier you arrive, the better selection you'll have, but either way, I'll be hangin' out till 10pm.

Two artists. One night. One chance. The 5x5 Show!

It's almost here! My twenty-five 5x5 inch paintings are officially signed and done. Tomorrow evening I head over to The Rebel Unit gallery and hang each one so that all 25 pieces take up a 5x5 foot space on the wall.

There should be something for everyone at this show. Like purple? Got ya covered. Yellow? One of my favorite ones is yellow. By painting a rainbow gradient, I've pretty much got every color you could want!

Of course they glow in the dark. :o) I'll post a picture of that tomorrow.

They also bring art into your life and you'll get to watch how they change and morph with the sunlight all year long! Plus, each one will give you a profound sense of peace and well-being.  Uh... Yeah.

Art, sunlight, profound peace, and a sense of well-being for just $50?! Truly.
