Howdy Art Babies, Recently, my work has gone in a new direction. OK, maybe not a new direction, more of a scenic byway. I’m still doing the alt-reality, expressionist-y thing, but with a twist. These new paintings use a reduced, almost monochromatic, palette for more emotional impact. The series is called “Cutting Through the Static”. These portraits look kind of scratchy and ill-defined; a metaphor for these times where social media static fills our days and truth is only a fluid, situational concept. It’s as if the subject is coming into view on an old-school static-filled TV. (Ask your parents…) The title of the series is from a song by State Champs. “If only we could wait for the truth When, you know, it’s not so dramatic Let’s cut through the static” Here’s an example…  More about this artistic detour can be found in an interview I did with VoyageAustin E-zine.
