Many congrats.....

That’s a really cool piece @Oaktavia

[Oaktavia]

Thanks y'all...I have more I can post here. @mclaincausey that one is acrylic and charcoal. It's 36"x 48" or so .

Here is another one from the same year 2009. This one and about a ten or so others were painted for a duo show with an old painting partner of mine. It was at Classic Electric Tattoo in Frederick, Maryland. I remember the owner didn't stay for the opening because he and his lady were leaving for a road trip to Dollywood. He made sure he left me a packed bowl in the back room though...he's the one who tattooed my back peice.

This was my favorite one along with the one in the photo I previously posted. That one is of a sculptor named Wireman. He died a few years ago. I'm glad neither of them sold and that I still have them. Most of my work sold back then.

As I said on IG, really great work! Get back at it!

[ROman]

@Oaktavia good stuff.

[Oaktavia]

Fished out some more...most of these are large scale oil and acrylic paintings. I used to be completely obsessed and fixated on painting and one day being an artist. I loved painting more than anything...but I've only made one since 2019. Thinking of starting again this summer on multiple canvases painted outdoors on our property.

@Oaktavia i had no idea! Phenomenal shit. Wish I was in town, I’d love to see it in person. And buy one.

@Matt If you look closely at the clock on the mural...there is a numeric message 3x number...

[goosehd]

@Oaktavia Seriously impressed!!! Awesome work/art and with the masters degree also!

[goosehd]

…just saw the clock . Cheeky, very cheeky…. Did you ever get called out on it?

[Matt]

You tricky devil.

[Giles]

I'd buy one/some.....

@Oaktavia I can’t help laughing at your comment, “Clothing is just so boring to me.” Maybe that’s changed

Hope your new place inspires you to start painting again!

@Giles @ARNC I was embarrassed when she included that quote...I remember thinking it was out of context but I did say it so. Reporters man. I was 19 years old when that article was published.
