i've been slowly changing the content of my personal work to reflect my interests more. i'm excited to see what the work evolves into...

damn that orange is punchy! it kind of hurts my eyes at first but i like the contrast in rendering between the super glossy stuff and the messy scattered brushwork.

[Fozzybar]

wow, first i thought you stuck some real doll on to a canvas :p

Very profound and indicting...

Lol - my first thought was "Ok, so you've done a paint-over on a picture collage", but then I get to know it's oil on wood! :eek: :D

Wow, that makes it really impressive!
The proportions and light are so accurate that you fooled my eyes there. :D

No crits from me then of course. Very impressive work!

thanks for the inspiration Mr Barber !

[MindCandyMan]

Wow this is very disturbing (in a complimentary way). I feel uneasy looking at these pieces. The colors you chose are extremely effective. Keep up the good work...looks awesome.

thanks for the comments, everyone-
jason- the first image is 30" x 48", oil on wood
the second is 20" x 16", oil on wood-
the surface on both have quite a bit of scratching and built up paint...
the larger piece is about 30 hours of deliberation-
the second painting is about 5 hours...
the intent was to create these to show-
the larger image was in a group show that just ended in cleveland, ' the toy show' at 1300 gallery, and the second image was just completed- and i entered it into a group show in california at La Luz De Jesus gallery... theme of that show is 'uncommercial art by commercial artists'...
jason and andrew- see you in a few weeks...
