Hey There, Cowgirl
I made this gal by making two 5.5′ x 11’stencils, one for the white and one for the black. Easily the biggest stencils I’ve made to date! It was a bugger to hang both of them, and I’m not 100% … Continue reading
A Quick Stencil
Here’s a quick stencil piece I put up on the River Market’s street art wall on Sunday morning. It was only one stencil, so most of the work was from laying the black down. Probably ten minutes total work (and … Continue reading
The Creative Side of the Mind
Acrylic and stenciled spray paint on 2? x 3? canvas. This painting was definitely a sum of its parts not working the first time around. I painted over the figures about three times until I was happy with the tones. … Continue reading
Another Hummingbird Stencil
This is probably the most detailed stencil I’ve ever done. It took me about five hours to cut out, if you can believe it! I made sure to put a fresh blade in my knife for this, as the intricate … Continue reading

For the under-painting, I opted to go with a palette knife. The blade worked really differently on canvas, as the paint had all of those pores and crevices to fill in. I also did a little bit of work with … Continue reading
Process: Fire in the Eyes, Smoke From the Mouth – Day Two
Before putting the paint down, I made a bunch of stencils after ‘lightboxing’ the canvas by holding it in front of our window. Entertainingly enough, the police were searching a car on the street while I was working on it. … Continue reading

I thought it would be fun to document the process on this painting, as I really had no idea what I was going to do with it. I had used up all of my wood so this next series will … Continue reading

Acrylic, vinyl, collage, spray paint and stenciled spray paint on 3′ x 6′ wood. I thought it was really appropriate to be working on a painting of this subject matter while on my first vacation I’d had in…I don’t know. … Continue reading
