paint.

 I think my Grandmother started taking me with her to her painting classes when I was five years old. We would go to the community center with lots of other silver haired folks. I got to have my own box of paint and brushes. I would paint pictures of what i thought it  looked like on mars, but only after I had spent a few years working on fucking flowers.
      Grams was a stern  teacher. I would bring home pictures of trees I would draw at school and she would tear me a new one for drawing "like a child".  "  " Trees don't look like that !" she would bellow,  the shrill tone of her voice would carry like the scream of a banshee over the cold Irish sea.
  With that being said, I shortly stopped enjoying the adult pressures of the art world and set my sights on a much more easily attainable goal, getting totally Punk Rock.












 Thanks to grams for helping start my adult life at age five and for helping install a brush stroke that laid dormant in me for so many years.

Its time to get out of the house.....

 Im very fortunate to live in my current version of a socialist utopia, the InArtsNw here in sunny Seattle Washington. Its so fuckin sunny here and every thing is such a perfect model for society that im allowed to live in a house with 32 people and draw all over the walls with my friends. The cops even come over and tell me how good of a job we are doing and they are very proud of us. Thanks dudes ! Here is what this winter has looked like from time to time.


 I painted this mural with North West legend Specs Wizard/ Specs One/ Michel Hall.  Working with has taught me more than I can explain with words. I have learned to respect my self so I can respect my work. Thanks dude! Specs painted the green fellows and constructed the shape of the whole piece as well as the outline colors. We talked about the shape for a few moments and 7 hours later we had this.

 And Specs wizard sneaks in again !!!

  8 & 1/2 x 11 ! Fun times !

 My new bud mike bloom hoped on the team a few months ago. He also enjoys drawing way huge
!






 I curate the art shows at the InartsNw. The best thing about it is people flaking out and forcing me to go way beyond any sort of comfort zone. I just started stapling paper to the wall and attacking with black. It was supposed to be a skateboard. Friends held the ladder and made the coffee. Thanks friends! Thanks flakes!



 Now its time take this show on the road ! Im booking a few Kurly Somthing Tours and plan on painting down town for imperial credits ( I hope!)  when the weather changes ! I have turned into half the man my mom wanted me to be and half the kind she said to never talk to . AWESOME!!
