I found an old VCR repair book in my back alley today. I have not done allot of painting on paper so I gave it a shot. This painting is a mix of graphite, gouache, and acrylic and is titled : Re-Illustration by assembly. It focuses on the idea of what happens when we overbuild and use up all of our natural resources. What then? Maybe we can figure out how to re-make natures gifts like fruit.

I just finished this new painting titled “Melted Dreams”. This painting brings light to the death of Walt Disney. Many people on there death bed speak about all of the things in life that they wish the did or things they still want to accomplish. This 8×10 oil on wood panel shows all the the dreams and light slipping away from the man as he draws closer to the end of you life. I believe that the legacy of Walt Disney will never be lost in history. It will be like cavepaintings fro the egytian times, Forever.
