Yes, I'm still here! If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know what I've been up to, but if you are one of the two people who read this thing and don't follow me on Instagram, let me update you...
I will have my art on display at Art Hop in Burlington, VT this year. The event is 9/7 through 9/9, and I believe some of the art will stay on display through September, but the best time to see it would be 9/7 through 9/9, as hopefully, many of the pieces will be sold after that.
I haven't been doing any foodporn these days, but I will be doing another round of that after Art Hop. Instead I've been experimenting with new styles of painting, from surreal to partially abstract.
Here are a few examples of the surreal stuff, from a series called, "Technicolor Animals of Triumph."
As you can see, some have little humans holding flags with them, there isn't really an hidden meaning behind them, but as I've been doing these paintings, I've been imagining that the humans are normal size and the animals are actually huge. I like the idea of a Lovecraftian world where these huge beasts live for thousands of years and the humans are just happy the animals let them live. As for the flags, the best explanation I have is that they are simply to alert the giant animals of their presence so they don't get stepped on...
On top of that, I've been doing some partially abstract animal portraits...
Definitely a different style, but I think they have a similar feel as the Technicolor animals. Plus these have been the most enjoyable to create. The style comes naturally to me and I can really just get lost in the brush strokes without worrying too much about nailing the animal's likeness.
Other than that, I've just been updating my society6 page to make prints available for purchase...

Hopefully I'll be able to update this blog more often, but again, if you really want to see what I'm up to, Instagram is the best way to see my day to day activity. The second best way is to join my mailing list, which can be found at the bottom of every page, or if you like...
...and sign up. I'll email you with updates about art sales, shows, and openings.
As always, stay tuned for more!
