Pier one or One Pier?
Lame joke. I know. Seriously though I have no ideas on a name and since it’s a commissioned piece I’ll leave it up to the new owner to give it a one. It will remain “Untitled-“gallery name” commission 0223″ on my records. She’s a beastie clocking in at 60″ x 44″. It was fun. It…

The Angel of Independence
It’s been a long time since I posted anything new. It’s been a long time since I posted anything anywhere actually. You see I took a bit of a hiatus from most social media platforms. I got off Facebook and Instagram. I still have a twitter account but it doesn’t see much action except the…

A Boy and His Dog
All this Covid business is killing my comminication skills. I’ve been working, but mostly on pet projects… literally and figuratively. I’ve spent my time recently making art for friends and for myself. I haven’t been doing a ton, but it’s enough to keep my itch to create scratched (mostly). This little beauty was a gift for…

Physician, Heal Thyself
I’m a fixer. I fix things. It’s what I do. I do it all day at my job running all aspects of IT for a wonderful Art museum. I do it at home with my wonderful family too. Computer’s barfed? I can get you working again. You lose something? I can find it. Something’s broken?…

Monday Rant: Helplessness Blues, Depression, Anger, and Hope
I post opinions and diatribes and funny shit, but I don’t usually go deeply into my personal life or my feelings because honestly who gives a flying fuck about one more white, middle-aged, middle-class dude’s personal shit? God knows I don’t. I mean really I’ve got it all. I do. I have a pair…

Back in Black… And White and kind of a tan because newsprint
Just wrapped up some large, very involved commissioned oil paintings. I’m glad to have had the opportunity to do those pieces. I’m also glad to be changing gears a little. It seems like it’s been forever. This is today’s quickie charcoal sketch. Mostly a tonal study but the final piece will continue to be relatively…

Biiiiig Waterfall
Greetings, faithful readers (all 6 of you)! Been quite a while since I posted anything at all. The upside is that means I’ve been busy. Very busy. Busy is good. Keeps me active. Keeps me moving. And this piece has certainly kept me moving. Creating this work was a physical experience. Every aspect pushed the…

New Work in Progress
No spiffy titles today, kids. Just a quick update from your old pal, Rob, on a new Chicago piece. It’s big. It’s bold. It’s big! Ultimately my goal here is to play with the relationships between the cool and warm colors this image provides. I’m also adjusting figures and elements to rearrange their relationships to…

Providing a Little Detail
A small detail from the last session spent working on this New piece. Hoping to wrap it up in 1 or 2 more. I’ve got just enough time before I get back into commission mode. #wip #painting #oilpainting #urbanlandscape #nyc #nocturne #rain #originalart
