I love all kinds of music, rap, soul, blues, rock, ---just every kind. My favorite band ever since high school is Cheap Trick! Seen them 6 times and know all their music by heart. I also like the band Jet. They are newer and sound like Cheap Trick and the Beatles combined.

Like movies, i don't read much.(short attention spand) I do like newspapers and art magazines though. -Art Calendar

I love movies that portray famous artists. My favorite movie is "Basquait". He had it going for him, being friends with Warhol and exhibiting in some of the major museums in the world. He couldn't get off the drugs though and had a very short career in art.

I am a Surrealistic painter that has been working in the surreal style for over twenty years. I live in the midwest with my wife Tami and our two cats- Jack and Noodles. My work deals with social and political issues, documenting lifes events and happenings through paint and a brush. I have exhibited nationally and abroad. My art has been featured in numerous magazines such as "Manhattan Arts","Surreal",and "Artpseak".

I like people who are real .but are afraid to look at the world differently( Surreal). I love it when people viewing my works challenge me and question my ethics and ideas on this world we live in. If someone says that they don't like my work (titled to their opinion)thats ok,but if someone likes my works, I've done my job.

I don't care for people saying my art is bad or wrong when they don't follow up with a reason. Things I don't agree on in life include taxes, playing the race card, random traffic stops,heaven and hell, using paper products, cut flowers, etc..... plus thousands of other items.

I love to play texas holdem. I have been playing tourn. cards for years. (Pretty good if you ask me) I also like to bike ride in the summer. play frisbee golf is a blast plus time consuming.

Thanks for commenting on my work, everything in my Gallery at the moment is photography.


Your work is very impressive! The colors draw you into the picture and then the images and the thought keeps you there.

Hi James, Thanks so much for your kind words! My paintings are done in oil and the backgrounds are oil mixed with wax medium. Thanks for stopping by!

 

BTW, your work is fantastic--very thought provoking!

Thanks for making me officially your friend.


I have about 35 pieces in a gourmet food/wine shop here in Columbia, but no galleries at the moment.  I'm thinking that it's about time to find some new places to exhibit though.  Had a couple of sales right off the bat in the fall, but I don't think that the owners are talking me up like of course a gallery owner would.  It's nice not to have all those old paintings sitting on my floor though.

I admire that you put yourself out there and offer no apologies.  Too many people are rooted in close mindedness and have no tolerance for anything other than their own beliefs or opinions.  Bravo for presenting the "less conservative" perspective ;o)

Hi James, thanks for the comments.  I use acrylic, but I've used oils in the past as well.  I like the fact that acrylics dry faster.  I have to say that your duck stamp painting struck me the most.  Even though I am a vegan, I still found it rather amusing.  Are the rhinos going to be a series like Cows on Parade?  I live in Louisiana and we have a bunch of Pelicans on Parade of sorts all around Lafayette.

Well, James, I would say your beautiful and compelling work embodies the surrealistic title way more than mine does!


I really enjoyed walking through your gallery...it is a savory experience!
