Getting ready for DC

I've been asked to do a mural at the new National Museum of Health and Medicine in DC.  After going back and forth I've come up with an image that is a lot like my "Structural Abnormalities" series of figures with skeletons in them.

This is the final sketch and the color comp.  Final size is 8'x17'.  It will be done in acrylic on panels.  Anna Stump will be assisting me.  Can't wait.

Artwalk is a comin'

This is one of those times with tons going on. curating 2 shows.  Murals in DC, but  first getting ready for the Brewery Artwalk, the big open studios where I live.  The joy of having several thousand people walking through your house.  It isn't too bad but  many people pass all art and just as about my collection of old radios.  Specifically they ask if I collect radios.  My feeling is that anytime you have more than 3 of something you have a collection.  I have 40.

For the artwalk I"ll be showing my new Flower Power series of bodies with flowers in them.  My illustrative, "Love and Animals" series.  I'm serious to see if people are more drawn to the earth tones than the bright cartoonish colors.

This one is titled "Fish loves Chicken".

Next Show at UCLA Med School

Tomorrow I am hanging a show at UCLA with art about aching backs.  I have a few paintings in the show from my Structural Abnormalities series.

In addition, Ellen Cantor is showing her Unorthodox Anatomy series, and NY artist Laura Ferguson is showing her fantastic body images.



Show runs until Mid May.
