I had a show in Gallery III on campus during the Thanksgiving week. This displays the painting work I did this semester, along with some previous stuff I didn't include in my graduate application portfolio. This was supposed to be a "get to know professors and expose my work to professors."

Do It Yourself sites (or DIY for short) have run their course. It seems that almost everyone now has posted a blog on creating, controlling and doing at home. From homespun wool to hacking the latest gaming system into a laptop, DIY-ers have sprouted across the internet like wild flowers. Or weeds, depending on your opinion. read more »
I think I should write down a small entry about "what-I've-learned-this-semester" and to "explain-what-I'm-doing-by-not-painting." read more »

This was my "first" written java class taught to me by my wife, Rebecca. read more »
So, I haven't posted any work lately on the blog, because most of my work in the past 8 months haven't been "image" or "object" based work. But since I was admitted to the 2D graduate program, I've been trying to be good and paint some "objects."
This piece I started a couple days ago, and since the progression of a work still fascinates me much more than the final piece, I will continue to take pictures of this work in progress.
While living in Seattle, I did a large amount of these figurative ink paintings. To capture the vibrant quality of life and metabolism, the restructuring of life, I painted with natural elements, using twigs, leaves and stones for brushes.
I've been working on painting more portraits lately (do you remember those paintings I did of kids from my church last year). Painting people is HARD WORK. I'm so embarrassed to even post pictures of this painting in progress because it doesn't look good at all. But Emily asked me to, so I will. She is willing to sit staring at the wall for me, so I figured the least I can do is share my mediocrity with the world. ;) read more »
Another installment of work on my robot/symbol paintings. This is probably the last group of pictures I'll take of the paintings in progress. Most of them are finished now, so maybe I'll post them on my portfolio page. Hopefully this group of work is strong enough to get me into a good MFA program. Sorry for the poor quality, but I don't want people stealing my images! ;) read more »
