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…

Showtime
Greetings and felicitous salutations! I’m very happy to announce the opening of my current solo show, “Oil and Dust” at the Indian Hills Community College gallery. It’s a beautiful space and the gallery curator, Mark, was a breeze to work with. Given the size of most of my pieces it took renting a UHaul…

A Work of Lilliputian Proportions or GO HAWKS!
So here’s a little fella I just finished up this morning. For those of you who don’t know this is Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa. Big place. Much football. Go Hawks… and all that kindof thing. I went to school there for a semester and it was only one class. You can expect just…

Snippets (updated)
Just a few bits from the most recent piece. Thought I’d share some of my favorites. Working in acrylics has really forced me to adopt different techniques. I’m really enjoying the process. (Sorry for the less-than-stellar picture quality) Here’s to working weekends. Cheers R

Title (optional)
What a night that was. The Fitch Studios open house was a pretty good time. There were tons of people through the studio. Lots of new faces and plenty of friends. And sangria. So much sangria. On behalf of Studio 405 thanks for coming out. Here’s the set up from that night. With some new,…

BBoys Take Manhattan
Just a quick post to present the latest commissioned piece, “BBoys Take Manhattan”. It was a lot of fun. I’m still really getting a handle on how to manage acrylics. I approached this one with a more illustrative intent than I would normally use for studio work, but I tend to fret about doing portrait…

Works in Progress
Seems like I’ve been busier than ever these days. I wrapped up some studio work and have been plugging away at this Beastie Boys painting (progress image included below). I thought I’d have a chance to build up some more work for display, but I’m happy to announce that the requests for commissioned work just…
