THE NEW ENDING

It's just about show time!!! 

I'm super stoked to announce my upcoming solo show at Jameson's, here in Eugene!! "THE NEW ENDING" Conceptually this show is about change, growing, and moving forward, that experiences that effected me last year. In total, there will be 9 new paintings, all of which I completed in 2012. I believe over the course of the year I completed 12 paintings, but I have either sold or gifted away the remaining ones. This says a lot for me because 2012 was a pretty rough year, but in many ways, also pretty darn cool. On a mega-positive note, I feel as if I have grown a lot as an artist last year in the sense that I have finally dialed in my art making process. Switching from painting canvas to panel has really helped me to blast out under-drawings and all that technical stuff. The conceptual end of painting comes a lot easier that it ever has in the past. I suppose it is just practice and putting in the time. Fuck yeah, there are a lot of things that I could really work on, but these days I am feeling confident that I will just get better naturally with hard work.    

And...2013 is going to be rad. My goal is to slay 18 paintings, participate in a few more group shows up in Portland and maybe start a punk band! 

Jameson's is the bar where I pour drinks on weekends, and showing art there is always fun because it offers me a chance to show my awesome coworkers and regulars what I am up to. I think this is my fourth Jameson's show and it wont be the last

Well, I am really excited and I think this my best work yet! So if any one wants to have beers and check out the opening, it will be on first Friday art walk in February! Cheers!!
