Collaboration with the Dead?

Is it possible to collaborate with an artist who died 33 years ago this month? 

I am blessed with generous friends and patrons who support my creativity by contributing interesting and exciting finds to make art with.  One such person travels the world on business and often brings me exotic and wonderful treasures.  Two years ago she presented me with a georgeous Eurpean magazine filled with the avant-garde photography of ManRay the 20th century American Modernist.  I have always loved Man Ray’s photographs, their exquisitly sensuality, the way his subjects both live and inanimate have a languid quality, and the way he developed technique’s that enabled him to not only document the world around him, but to capture and bring forth images from his imagination. 

Inspired by these wonderful images I decided to hand paint several of them with watercolors, changing their quality and adding a new dimention to the works.  I consider this project a collaboration because I want to give full credit to the artist who created the images and inspired my aesthetic response.  These are works in progress and I am not sure what I will ultimately do with them.

Grindhouse Show Opens!!!

Collaboration celebrating the release of Mosquito and Spider!

Butterfly in Spider's Web - $75.00 - Mixed Media 9"x12" at Hyaena Gallery

Recently I was invited to participate in a collaborative project with the Scary Art Collective founder and artistic madman Nicolas Caesar  to celebrate the upcoming release of his new comic book Mosquito and Spider.  Several artists were invited to  incoprporate Mosquito or Spider figures into a custom art piece.  I created Butterfly Trapped in Spider’s Web, which will be on display as part of  Ceasar’s exhibit Grindhouse at Hyaena Gallery.  If you’re going to be in the area you should check out the show, I guarantee you’ve never seen anything like it!

 

 

 

“This November I have a solo show at the Hyaena Gallery in Burbank, CA. This show is very personal for me, being raised on KTVU’s Creature Features with Bob Wilkins and John Stanley, I’ve painted my own tribute to such cult classics as: Matango, The Wasp Woman, Creepshow, Evil Dead 2, The Fly, Clash of the Titans, Trilogy of Terror, Attack of the Beast Creatures, Angry Red Planet, Frogs, Terrorvision, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, Sugar Hill, Heathers, Darjeeling Ltd., Creature from the Black Lagoon, Return of the Living Dead, and From Hell It came!

I’ll also be showcasing Mosquito and Spider Customs. As many of you know I’ll be releasing a comic book called Mosquito and Spider soon. In short it’s if Ren and Stimpy were written by Hunter S. Thompson, David Lynch, and Andy Kaufman. To celebrate this I’ve invited several of my artistic friends to customize figures. To see who did what you’ll have to tune into Hyaena on Nov 1st!  Also there will be hip giveaways from Video Search of Miami!  Oh yeah, and there will be the booze! So it’s a cheap date.”  -  Nicolas Caesar

Halloween Art Show!!!

My first exhibit in a year, and it’s part of the Sacramento 2nd Saturday Artwalk !  Every month, art galleries in the Sacramento metro area stay open late and invite the public to the Art Walk. People from near and far come to walk from gallery to gallery, enjoying the latest and best of the region’s vibrant art scene. There is live music, and an immense variety of art and activities behind every door. I’m very excited to be showing with the Scary Art Collective and created new pieces all priced to sell.  So come on by Bodytribe and say hi, show runs until Nov 13th.

Image of the Day “Windowpane”

Windowpane is a continuation of the Ghost Town series I’ve featured all week.       Ever since I was a small child I’ve been fascinated by open windows and doors, to this day I find myself sneaking glances when I walk past.  I know I shouldn’t look but I want to see what’s inside.  It’s a delicious tension as I believe  people deserve their privacy and that opening a window or door is not an invitation as much as a necessity of life.  So when I have the rare opporuntity to explore an abandoned place I let my voyeuristic tendencies run amok.  Windowpane captures this tension by enticing us to look and then presents a murky mystical realm where we cannot understand what we see no matter how much we stare. The Ghost Town series is an homage to the voyeur in us all, who knows we shouldn’t look, but just can’t resist.

Enjoy!
