Latest rehashing of an old piece

The image of evolution walks again.

Recent pieces along with a new mural I painted near my apartment in Humboldt Park

The first piece you see here was another rehashing of one of my idols Hunter S. Thompson. In order to create it I used a sheet of peg board and then pasted on sheets of phonebook paper. From here it was quite a fun splattering of paint and then the placing of the stencil which I had drawn and cut out. 

This next piece was created on a canvas in the same style as the H.S.T. piece. The only difference was I ripped away part of the painted paper and then designed the birds flying in the sky.

This is a piece I painted at Summer Camp Music Festival this year. This piece was inspired by the band STS9. It is painted in spray paints and acrylic paints on flat canvas which I temporarily stretched while the music was being performed. After the set was over I am able to pull down the piece and roll it up for easier portability.

This piece was created as a test piece for the large mural I painted down the street from my  apartment. This piece is a stencil I drew up and cut. It is painted on a canvas which I found in an alley where someone had thrown it out.

This is my newest mural going into the summer. It is created by Hand made stencils and spray paint. It stands approximately 4.5ft.  tall. It is located at Maplewood and Hirsch in Chicago Il in the Humboldt Park neighborhood. The location is an outdoor gallery entitle Uncle Art.

City blocks project I did for the town of Elmhurst Il.

I recently just completed a project for the town of Elmhurst. The project is called the "City Blocks Project". For this I used a childish game to idealize the topic of time. Chutes and Ladders is a game from most peoples past.  It seemed like a strong enough and a nonabrasive way of bringing up the question of time and life and how no matter how hard we try we can never beat the hands of time. The title of this piece is "Always Chasing...". It will be on permanent display and will be showcased along with others made from talented artists I believe in May. I will post the date as soon as I find out.

A few pieces you can still see up at LOGAN BAR & GRILL in Logan Square.

This is a few of the pieces of mine you can view at LOGAN BAR & GRILL in Logan Square. The pieces I am featuring are all painted on old windows from around the Chicagoland area.

Newest piece I created today.

This Piece is on an old plank from the abandoned apartment across from my place. If you look you can see some old graffiti which I decided not to remove. I felt it had a strong urban feel to it which I wanted to continue to show. From there I used both a black and a white gesso and then began to adhere sheets of old phone book pages across the bottom have. From there I began painting the landscape scene on top of the sheets of phone book. In order to create a certain feel to the piece I cut up a stencil to use for the plant imagery. This I then used as my outline to create the foliage which I cluttered with the rest of the piece. I wanted a lot of color and a lot of movement to occur with this piece. Once I finished the landscape to my liking I then used a clear glaze and painted that onto the landscape in order to cause a high gloss sheen in order to help with the illusion of depth.
