Commission work has been taking up all of my time when I'm not at work. But it is nice, as my benifactors do pay well. This will make all my ebay searching for those campy track hubs worth while, Jessie's pretty sure Im obsessed. Either way, I feel I'm a very selfish artist, making work strictly for myself and my own obsessions, but I do feel a little relieved to make some work that is, for the most part, brainless. I don't have much attachment to the images and making work just to please someone other that myself reminds me why I make the work I do. I think I might paint a portrait of Judge Mathis next.

As soon as this commision mural work is rapped up, I can get back to the upstairs studio to hammer out the paintings Ive been marinating on for weeks. I have about 5 smaller canvases almost or completely finsished and I have a series of 8 or 9 paintings thath I'm just dieing to start. I'm going to introduce some sweet muscle cars and samurai images along with the wild animals. My goal here is to speak more about the relationship between the sexual fantasies and reputation that is attached to high end fashion and lifestyle.

'I'm really looking forward to this summer. Ive recently been lucky enough to be offered an exhibition at drunkenbutterfly this June. My work really fits in well with this place. Ive been admiring their space for some time now. It is run by a great couple from the west coast with deep roots in fashion and modern art. They have some great shows with contemporary work as the back drop of some down right hip ass clothes and footwear. Check them out if you're on the east side. Im looking forward to packing their place in the middle of June with a bunch of paintings and tons of food, drink and friends. Looking forward to seeing you there, more details soon.
