COMMISSIONED PORTRAITS

This diptych was a fun take on Macbeth. The dagger and bloody hand add a subtle nod to the play and the garments add a fun take on the traditional portraits one would hang in the house.

SHAKESPEARE SERIES

I did an oil series of Shakespearean artifacts for a show last year.

BIG ZIZEK 3 ft x 2 ft

A three foot by two foot, hyperrealistic portrait of Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek is a monumental thing in itself. The selected lighting and wild hair of the reference photo added to the complexity.

magical hyperrealism

As a part of a tiptych, I created three foot by two foot portraits of characters created by Henry Darger, the great midcentury outsider artist. Depicted here is a Blengiglomenean, a half-human creature with bat wings and horns.

Beginning my series of Shakespeare characters is "Ariel and Caliban" from The Tempest. The work (and its study) were completed in the Caravaggio style of a monochromatic layer followed by multiple glazings of thin color.

POSTCARD OILS

I did 4 x 6 inch oil paintings of famous film scenes.

THE VAMPIRE OF FORT SMITH

There's a vampire running for mayor in Fort Smith, Arkansas, so I had to illustrate him.
