Plans for 2010

Preview of new painting.

I’m always working on as many things as possible. I like to work in different media, and each has its own process of evolution and growth. I know that if I specialized in only one medium, I would have a much more uniform body of work. For some reason, I have an urge to work in different media and I love to make all types of things. I used to think that I should focus on one style and specialize in that, but I can’t help it. I enjoy exploring any idea that has the posibility for good design and honest substance. I feel that I should follow my instincts and try not to set boundries.

I’m planning a big exhibit for next March that shows all the types of work that I do. I will include paintings, sculpture, furniture design, large prints, and custom sneakers. I have most of the concepts worked out, but there’s a lot of work to be done!

Squirtgun and Polkadots

The squirtgun motif in my work comes from the fun days of water fights when I was a kid. I remember the excitement I got from playing with squirtguns. There is so much creativity involved in a child’s imagination. I could be Robocop or Dick Tracy any day of the week! Life was simple. I have always embraced my childhood, including the toughest memories. I never want to let go of the playfulness and imagination.

I like patterns like zebra print, stripes, houndstooth and of course the classic polkadot! I wanted to completely suround the viewer with a pattern to draw the person into the space. The polkadots blend from black to grey, drawing attention to the entire space. The FM logo takes all the attention on the left wall. The wildcat logo is painted on the wall in the dressing room.

Thank you Robot for all you help!

Finally Made Mural
