Have you seen?



I was waiting for someone in a cafe, sitting in close proximity to the pastry case, when this cartoon popped in my head. Scary and yet i think there's some kind of deep life truth here...

No Soft Soap


This painting I started only with the thought that I like the way soap gets bubbles on the outside. This turned out being a pretty involving and heavy piece about salvation. I don't take great pains to wear my Christianity on my sleeve but my thoughts are saturated with my faith and it's bound to leak out somewhere. I will let this painting finish anything else I might have said about it...

Sweet thoughts


I drew this picture in a Starbucks in Hawaii, began painting it in Chicago, and finished it in San Diego. I think kids have such sweet and innocent thoughts sometimes, and wanted to create something showing just that.
medium: oil

And class let out, once again


Hi there!
I have been extremely busy putting together a wedding and moving and arting. Good news is that I am back to the site with lots of art and will soon have a regular web site(aiming to go for www.brainchildrenrecess.com...).
Take care, and enjoy.
medium: oil, mixed media
- this piece was done when i was struggling with unemployment and it seemed like everyone was settled in life and job and having a fine time...

Public service announcement


I apologize for the lateness of the latest post. I have been moving and very busy. Here is a fun little piece I did several nights ago. I had this funny picture in my head and, well, just needed to get it out.
