Old painting redone digitally.

It's pretty close to the old acrylic painting.

Remembering Mom...

… on her birthday last Friday… I dug up this portrait I did of her back in the 80s.

Miss you Mom!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

2012 "Creatures in my mind" Calendar

I don’t cry during cooking shows or root upon hearing about the corruption of champions (real or imagined)… but I do dream of characters doing certain things… (real or imagined) and to that end, I’ve created a new Wall Calendar for 2012. In this calendar you’ll not only see things you’ve never seen before but you will feel giddiness and joy with each passing month… solely upon seeing the new image represented for that month.
I can’t imagine anything else bringing such joy, so get in on the joy ride through 2012 and buy yourself or someone you like, admire or think of in a good way a copy of “Creatures in my mind” Calendar for 2012. Every month in 2012 you’ll thank yourself.
Cheers to you.
Mike

RedBubble Feature the day before Father's day.

RedBubble was kind enough to feature my "Marbles on 3rd Street" painting on Saturday. It is an honor. I hope it brings more people to the site and to buy art. I know it's tough times out there and people have little money to spend on something other then the basics but artists suffer too. So if you have some time, drop by the site and leave an encouraging comment.
Thank you.
