Photos from Seance
I finally made my way back into The Belfry just before my show came down to snap some shots of the work on the walls. There are a couple of blurry images, so please forgive me. It seems the camera I was using is a trickster, lulling me into a false sense of sharpness and clarity.
After an amazing trip for a behind the scenes tour at the Burke Museum, I picked up the remaining pieces from the show.
And as an added bonus, this little guy.
We're the best of friends.
Below, the gauntlet of images.
A Midnight Calling
Fox Confessor
When the Horseman Comes

Autographs
While searching among booths and booths of antiques this past week, I came across this beautiful old school autograph book. I have a collection of old photo albums that I love, but have never come across a blank autograph book before. I decided it would make a perfect little sketch book.

Conjuring ideas...
Working on ideas for my upcoming show in February. Animals and spirits, ghosts and nature. Building my own occult symbols... a magick of my very own.
Skulls and bones, smoke and ectoplasm.

Ever-sketch
Not much painting has been done since July. Summers are usually filled with trips, house projects, friends and long days out and about. That said, sketching always happens. Without it, I'm afraid my brain would explode.
There has also been a big clean-out and re-organization of my little dungeon of a studio.
It's difficult for me to work in a messy space for some reason.
I'm still obsessed with masks from Bali and strange asian monsters.
Little experiments with the mountains of kraft paper scrap I have access to.
I'll have a small piece in a group show up on Capitol Hill in Seattle at Joe Bar. Opens October 11th.

Death and the Maiden
Dropped off my piece for the upcoming " Death and the Maiden " show at Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle. It's shaping up to be an amazing array of work!
Here's the finished image of my piece for the show.

The Night Procession
The Night Procession
acrylic on matryoshka
Not the best photos, but it should give a clue as to what I've been up to for the past few weeks. I realized over this process that I really enjoy painting in acrylic. I still love watercolor, so we'll see what happens. I had been working on a series of large drawings before I had to set them aside to work on these.
Looking forward to getting back to them.
The opening for this show is this Thursday, December 8th at Ghost Gallery in Seattle.
Should be interesting to see the turn-out and the other artists' matryoshka.

Matryoshka
It's been at least a couple of years since I've worked in acrylic so this project has become an exploration of the medium for me.
So far, so good.
Plugging away for a group show in Seattle this December at Ghost Gallery. Curated by the talented Michael Alm.

Nectar...
# 43 in the little black book of doom.
The end of this book is approaching. It's been a couple of years ( I think, ) if not more since I started this sketchbook. It goes everywhere with me. It's filthy and falling apart. Worn and abused, it's always by my side, always waiting for something new.
Yesterday I counted the number of pages I have yet to fill.
35. That's with front and back of each page.
Looking forward to the last leaf... and hesitant to finish it at the same time.

Smoking little stumps
Left the big sketchbook at the shop this week, so I've reverted back to filling the pages of my little one.

Waiting for the Redwoods...
I've never seen them and now feel even more compelled to gaze upon them with my own two eyes.
"Redwood."
Graphite and colored pencil.
Recently, I also went to a NASA lecture at a local bar here in B-town. I have never really payed too much attention to science in space and more to things taking place here. But really, they go hand in hand.
The true awesomeness of space... the grand scale... it puts a great deal into perspective for me.
I enjoy feeling so small. Nature has a way of doing that.
