Corner of Torrey Pines and Some Other Street (Acrylic and Oil) Available--on display in my office 8" X 10" |
A Shitty Skateboard (Acrylic and Oil) No one likes this painting, except me. Available--on display in my office. 12" X 16" |
Feng Shui Can Suck It (Acrylic) This is the happiest painting I've ever made. And I'll never make it again... Available 2.5' X 1.5' |
Harry and His Hippo (Acrylic and Oil) Commission for the Neil Gordon Family. (See previous version here) Whoops, this picture was taken before I colored in the eyes--just use your imagination. Oh wait, here's two pictures of Harry with the painting--Here and Here. 1' X 2'

Initial Attempt at Less-Boring Abstractionism (Failed) (Acrylic and Oil) Initially painted for the Gordon commissioned work, but it didn't work. Now, it sits in my office and I stare at the squiggles when I should be working. 2.5' X 3' |

Trouble In Tiananmenn Vol.2 (Acrylic and Oil in many, many, layers of paint) My neighbor, who is sometimes referred to as the Gimp, wanted me to make him a painting. I, of course, agreed to do so. And here is the final product. I like it. 2.5' X 2' |
Trouble in Tiananmenn Vol. 1 (Acrylic and Oil) A total accident. I would do it differently now. I might paint over this one. 2.5' X 1' |
The Deep Sea Vol. 1 (Acrylic and Oil) I painted some more stuff over this painting and now Lydia doesn't like it anymore. Here's the older (Lydia-friendly) version. Available for parties. 3' X 2' |
The Cosmic Overpass (Acrylic and Oil) This painting is so unlike all the others that I think someone else painted it... Brooke? I like pieces of it. Available 3.5' X 2.5' |
