Just made this out of desperation to make something......

passing the time

Jen and I have been renting or going to the movies a lot lately.  I am so sick of working, it's boring.  The weekend gig can go to hell too.  So I guess movies have been my revolt against doing things I should be doing.  I also want to spend time with Jen instead of being a bum ass.  I really wish the studio was my "job".  Building cabinets can eat shit.  So far this year we have watched in no particular order:

Black Swan

True Grit

The Social Network

No Strings Attached

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Eat. Pray. Love.

Salt

Exit Through the Gift Shop

Cyrus

The Other Guys

  Iron Man 2

I think that is about right.

I also just knocked a giant hole in the attic to start the project I talked about late last year.  Getting ready to stud the room that will be that bathroom.  Should be fun.  The studs in the image will be moved about 2 feet to the right.

Maybe a post about painting tomorrow.........

and it continues

Must finish by mid month.  I hope.

Such bad lightning at night.

busy i think

I have been trying to submit work to a few exhibitions lately.  Not to sure what to expect out of this.  Most of the time I get rejected, but we will see what happens.  I want to focus on that a bit more because I just can't continue stacking my paintings in the studio.  They need to leave.  So far I sent a cd to Nazareth College and have entered the Made in NY competition.  I also created a drawing for Pernod Absinthe, they have a competition in which the piece created has to have the date 1805 in it.  1805 is the year Pernod Fils created absinthe.  That one has a money prize for the top three.  I really hope I place. 

Next up will be the Finger Lakes Exhibition at the MAG.  Something has to happen right??

My entry for Pernod.....

competitions/exhibitions

I hate trying to shoot my work.  I am not equipped enough nor do I have the skill.  Some things you just have to pay someone to do.  Hopefully I can get images before deadlines smack me in the face.  Here are better images of my last 3 paintings.

wish there were more...........

finished?

I think I may have finished a painting tonight.  I will have to sleep on it.  I made some more little adjustments.  Not to sure about the third cone though.

 

 The cone I am not sure about is the higher one.

 I added Gino's fourth leg, under his stomach.

 Painted and re-outlined the stencils.

 

Finished?????

As for the chandelier painting.....

I know,  I really need to take photos during the day.  

And..... Gino vs. Chapel

happy twenty eleven

Happy new year!  Not much to say at the moment, just trying to finish this painting.  Here are some little adjustments.
