About the Art

My Way

I connect with the music I'm
hearing and often listen to the
same CD repeatedly for up to 6
hours at a time while painting.
This allows me to feel the music in
my heart and soul. I derive a
spiritual power from the music and
that of the artist who created it.
The music blends with my own
emotions, inspirations and the
paint itself to become a synergy of
artistic expression.

My Music

I always listen to music while
painting. I Listen to many kinds of
music including rock, heavy metal,
smooth jazz, jazz fusion, chill, new
age, and even pop hip-hop/R&B.
Heres a list of some of my favorite
musical artists to listen to while
painting:

Levi Huffman, Travis Vega, Miles
Davis, Four 80 East, Nils, Petter
White, Three Doors Down, Fuel,
Staind, Tool, Metalica, Black
Sabbath, Smashing Pumpkins,
Lincoln Park, Bush.

My Paint

I use Grumbacher and Winsor &
Newton watercolor paints almost
exclusively. Lately though Ive been
buying paint in China on my art
trips there.

All paintings are hand sprayed with
Prisimacolor or Blair 200 fixative
for a lite protective seal.

"I can see trough
mountains, watch me
disappear, I can
even touch the sky,
Swallowing colours
of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy
guy?"

-Daisley - Kerslake -
Osbourne - Rhoads

My Canvas

I use only the best machine
stretched canvas I can find.

My techniques will only work with a
taught canvas .

My Brushes

I use Loew-Cornell nylon brushes
exclusively. Ive tried others but the
tchniques ive developed will only
work with these fine little magic
wands.

etc.

I sometimes use oil pastel,
scientificly manufactured charcoal,
rubbing alcohol, foam paint rollers,
hamburger flippers ,spray bottles,
blow dryers, syringes, erasures,
palette knives, tooth brushes,
sponges, Q-tips, socks and old
T-shirts in creating my paintings.

Public Art

I paint in publics spaces and walls
with found items like pieces of old
shopping carts, fans, hubcaps etc
as stencils, I use spray paint and
sometimes use watercolor. It's
street art but i only paint with
property owner permission, Once
though in an abandoned
condemned building in China.
