Had to repost these, the previous photos were just of a piss poor quality even for my "low res no theft" tastes, so enjoy them.

Also we are taking questions over at the Any How Town blog (see links, right) if you have any questions about the book series I'm currently writing, want to offer encouragement, or maybe ask about the popsicle stick building tutorials/photos that I put up on the blog now is the time!

Questions and Answers will be published on the blog, identities protected by "Anon" or User name

So get typing!

The Man Who Stopped To Read

The Man Who Stopped to Read

10x12inches,acrylic on canvas, framed

$140.00

We're at 40 000 words in Book One of the Any How Town series and you can read all about it at the Any How Town blog (see links). I haven't picked up a paintbrush in  a couple of weeks except to do some diorama painting (see Any How Town again). When I've fnished this draft and typed up the second draft of Book Two I have a commission to finish, it will be nice to switch gears for awhile all of this typing is hurting my fingers.

There are also pieces from this series on my dedicated wall at the Press Club, you can scroll down on the blog to see what is there, but the piece "The Duel (two drummers)" has been sold and the piece "the Archer" is being donated for auction - I'll post more info on that later on today at this post.
UPDATE: Here is a link where you can read about "Remember Love 2 A Benefit for the Barbara Schlifer Commemorative Clinic" at the Garrison on Saturday

A Cup of Crows, buy a painting fund a book

A Cup of Crows

12x12inches,acrylic on canvas, unframed

$120.00

I'm trying to remember what year/month/show it was that I began sticking things in cups, there were crows, gorillas, rocketships, deepsea divers (of course), little blackbirds, howling wolves, Samoyeds, all kinds of people commissioned their own special cup full of stuff, I also attempted Roosters and Pigs but never finished them. I'll go back into this blog and organize the tags properly one day so you can see all of the "Women with an Axe" pieces, "Deep Sea Divers", "Cups" etc. just not right now.
(NOTE: It was October 6, 2009 that the first two paintings of things in cups were done. I was asked on facebook so I went and had a look.)

Hoping to hit 30 000+ words today in Any How Town Book One so there's lots to do, click on the Any How Town link to see what I'm talking about and buy a painting! All monies go to funding this campaign to write my first series of books, paypal is accepted and I ship to anywhere worldwide

In other fundraising campaign news  Corin has passed the $2000.00 mark in his "Don't Spend It Honey" campaign , read all about it here

Tom Waits Project, Hang on St.Christopher

Hang on St.Christopher

10x12inches,acrylic on canvas,framed

$140.00

Here's the other "Tom Waits Project" piece, though not a literal image of St.Christopher still a hell of a lot of fun, there was another of a man carrying a fox playing a trumpet that was alot of fun too. This is probably in my top five favourite Tom Waits songs.

We hit 27 000 words today, I may just work through the night and try to add another 1000 to our tally.

Tom Waits Project

Don'tcha Know There Ain't No Devil

10x12inches,acrylic on canvas,framed

$140.00

From "the Tom Waits Project" a series that I thought was going to be my 2011 show but quickly lost interest in the sketches that I'd done, I did four pieces that I liked (the above being one of them) and then walked away from the rest, the others didn't have the visual oomph that I wanted for them.

Deep Sea Diver, The Fencer

The Diver, The Fencer

both 10x12inches,acrylic on canvas,framed

We've hit the 25,000 word mark in book one of Any How Town, hopefully we'll hit 50,000 before the 18th of Feb. Here are some more pieces that we have in the studio that haven't been shown in awhile, I honestly thought these would sell first at my fist show I had at the Wilson 96, quel surprise.
