Sabbatical Over

I have resumed work on the Watermelon Girl tonight and will post the finished work probably in a few weeks. In the meantime here is recent work by my studio partner and wife of 29 years, Georgeann.

It is said that the Moon is made of Green Cheese, 1983

This painting is my donation to the Cascade Aids Projects annual Gala art auction. I have used this grand event with mixed results in recent years to find some exposure for works from my portfolio archives that I think contains certain redeeming qualities, but which have never been publicly exhibited, and also are not likely to find exhibition opportunities elsewhere in my lifetime. This painting began life as a strictly non-objective construct. I came to recognise certain representational elements later...the red bands as the cording on military band unifofrms and the white disk as a moon shape in a night sky. Lately it has come to read rather ominously to me, as a view out from a concrete bunker at night. The title given here is new, created for the entry form for the auction. I felt a need to lighten things up a bit!

The Sky, The Land, and The Talking Sticks

Well, I'm still on a bit of a sabbatical so here is another archive work of interest, from around 1982

Mark Montoya - some serious doodling!

While my skatboard work is not included in the current showing at Artery in North Portland, This image painted on three skateboard decks by friend and co-worker Mark Montoya is. A former grafitti artist and constant doodler, this showing in conjunction with the ARTISTS FROM BEAUTIFUL LOSERS exhibit represents Marks first public showing of his work. In addition to Mark's mixes media painting instalations, I am showing selected work from my recent drawing project Flow, and other current and former Katayama Framing employees Beau Gordon, Chris Mullins, Peter Murdoch and Vanessa Stockard are also on display.

Update! Marks boards remain on display at Artery and the recent exhibition of skateboard photography was covered by Skateboarder magazine Marks boards got some coverage at this site as well! http://www.skateboardermag.com/skateboarder-photos-videos/photos/flash/seen-of-change-art-show-portland/index.html

skateboard deck

This skateboard deck was manufactured by my friend Scott Moore from Subsonic Skateboards and I put this landscape of tree trunks sihlouetted against a gold leaf background onto it. Check out the Subsonic skateboard link. I also have some drawing from the work on paper "Flow" on view at "Artery" in North Portland, in conjunction with a show of work by artists featured in the "Beautiful Losers" documentary film. Featured there is skateboard artwork by another Portland colleague, Mark Montoya
