Ol' Handface


I did this one in two hours while watching a crime documentary. I can't come up with a title for it, it doesn't quite deserve one, but it was done in acrylic on top of an old sketch of a hand. A blue hand. I might actually work back into this one someday and turn it into something more sensible.

Jacob's Ladder

My computer crashed and I lost my collection of cinematic dream sequences. But I'm lucky that I uploaded most of them here. I knew this blog had to be good for something.

Here, Tim Robbins' character dreams of his own Hell in this scene from Adrian Lyne's "Jacob's Ladder". As he excavates his past, his present devolves into paranoia and terror mirroring his foggy past in the Vietnam War... It's one of the most well directed suspense/horror films ever and one of my all-time favorite films.


Asphalt Flowerhead




I did the cover art to an excellent book by Forrest Armstrong titled "ASPHALT FLOWERHEAD". It's a surrealistic romp through a visionary drug culture and it's social backlash as it builds and destroys the lives of a dissident art community. Fantastic stuff! I highly recommend you purchase a copy. I was enthralled enough to read it in a day. Also check out "Avant Garde for the New Millenium".

You can purchase 'Asphalt Flowerhead' from Crossing Chaos, along with work by plenty of other fine authors and artists.

The Amazing Trouser Snake Show


All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.

Reaching


I made a few strange pieces of art this week in the little free time I had. Each was done in acrylic, guache, pencils and markers on cardstock. This one is just a fairly uninteresting doodle of a hand. I had drawn the hand a long while ago as the start of a Hand of Glory but abandoned it. Today I revived it.

The Devil


Today was rushed, but I managed to eke out a meager devil sketch in acrylic and marker on a manila folder.

I made these zombified kicks for my girlfriend...
Acrylic and paint marker.
