Untitled Des Moines Pastel
Finished with this little monster a few days back. Been somewhat distracted as of late due to some family issues. Finally taking time to post this for your viewing pleasure (or whatever it is you get out of viewing this).The trouble is that now I’m finished I don’t have anywhere to keep it safe until I get the framing materials together. Next time I guess I’ll be doing a bit more planning ahead.
Here’s to late nights and rainbow dust.
Cheers,

Surly Bastard in Paris, oil on linen, 48″ x 36″, 2015
Got a new one in the catalog. Proud to be able to offer this in print. Lots of options. See for yourself!
Click here. It’s totally legit.
Thanks for having a look. Just… 168 more shopping days ’til Christmas.
No sense waiting that long. Best to get a head start on things don’t you think?
Cheers,

I’m very proud to finally be able to offer this image as a print. Click here to check the sales page:
Shameless sales page this way…
It’s one of my personal favorites. The source image holds some very good memories for me of a very long walk around Manhattan several years back. It was cold. We did not, for some reason, actually get any coffee. Never set foot in the place. Just one of those memory tripwires.
A former coworker and current friend owns it and thanks to him I was able to borrow it long enough to get it scanned. If memory serves I couldn’t afford to do it before the piece sold a few years back and I put off asking until recently. Good thing too. He just moved to Tennessee.
Now that’s done I can bring them image to you.
Thanks to the fine folks at FineArtAmerica.com I can offer posters, cards, paper prints, canvas prints, metal prints (Check them out. They’re pretty cool), acrylic prints, phone cases, totes, and even duvet covers.
Yes… we went there.
That’s OK though. I’m OK with selling duvet covers of my images. If it makes someone happy to have it then that makes me happy. Annnnnd a little extra income never hurts.
Cheers!

So I do some fluffy, brightly-colored landscape paintings (and the occasional portrait, God help me). A guy’s gotta pay the bills. Gotta buy paint. I take commissioned work so I can afford to do the work I feel I need to do. Plus I like having a little fun. Doing some lighter stuff. Trying to take another person’s vision and translate that. It’s no mean feat I can tell you. Some people are easier to work with than others.
The gentleman that commissioned the work was extremely easy to work with. He ordered the piece for his wife as a birthday gift. It’s a placeholder for something a little more tangible down the line I think.
I think it’s romantic and sweet. I don’t usually deal with that sort of thing. It’s refreshing.
Here’s to a little more romance.

Put the wraps on it this morning. The last of this series of drawings just in time to hang this weekend. AND it looks like my display idea will work so long as the plexi I had to order comes in.
Next time… Ohhh next time the drawings will be monstrous. (Yay!)
But for now the time for drawing is over.
The time for framing had begun.
Wish me luck.
Cheers,

Managed to wrap up one more panoramic drawing for the show I’m hanging next week. I figure I can finish one more and solidify my plans for their display.
I have a week. What could possibly go wrong?
Right?
Cheers,
R
A little something from a series of drawings I’m working on for an upcoming show. If luck holds I’ll actually be finished in time.
Nothing like a little procrastination to level your focus.

What do you do when you’re stuck at home waiting for the auto glass repair guy to show up? Catch some much-needed quality time in the studio.
Because some sweet example of humanity decided to shoot out my (and my neighbor’s) driver’s side windows I got to spend my Monday morning stuck at home while the windows were being replaced. Good opportunity to catch up. I love getting to spend quality time with the charcoals.
Dusty, but satisfying.

Oil on linen. 36" x 48"
Traded this in exchanged for a custom built Surly cycle. It rolls like a dream, btw.
As for the bastard part… Well, that’s me.
Here’s to one sweet ride.
Cheers

Finished! Sorry for the grainy image. Had to bring it up to my living room to get a halfway decent shot.
