“Retsuko Rage” is one of my paintings recently on display at the 1st Thursday event, “Nerds in the City,” at the Orlando Museum of Art. This piece is inspired by the anime, “Aggretsuko,” which can be found on Netflix and is part of the Sanrio universe which includes notable characters like Hello Kitty and Chococat. […]
Read more "Retsuko Rage"I am so honored to have three paintings included in the upcoming 1st Thursdays art party at the Orlando Museum of Art. The event will be held on Thursday, October 4th from 6:00 – 9:00pm and October’s theme is “Nerds in the City.” I can think of no better way to sum up my art […]
Read more "Nerds in the City"I have wanted to paint an “extreme close-up” shot of Animal from The Muppets for a very long time now. I am so glad I finally made the time and bit the bullet because I am rather pleased with the results. My summer has been extremely busy and I have not had much time to […]
Read more "Animal!"Please join me for the opening of the Modern Marvel Art Show! I am so thrilled that my Black Panther-inspired painting – “Long Live the King!” – is included in this show. Anyone who consistently reads this blog knows, I am a huge fan of the MCU, so this feels like quite the honor. I […]
Read more "Modern Marvel Art Show"Check out this crazy cool mural by artist Tim Parker! It is filled to the brim with an assortment of pop culture references and this is only a small fraction of the entire mural. It feels like a scavenger hunt – the longer you look at the mural, the more references you see! You can […]
Read more "Mount Dora Mural"The 1980’s are back and in a BIG way! Shows like “Stranger Things” and “G.L.O.W.” are pure 80’s and even film remakes, like “It,” shift the story’s time period from the 1960’s to the 1980’s. The love for the 80’s is everywhere – especially in design – if you take the time to look for […]
Read more "The 1980’s"This was a funny piece I painted a few years ago depicting Sam the Eagle from The Muppets as Spock from Star Trek (the original series). I gave this painting to my sister as she is a big Star Trek fan. I am a huge fan of pop culture “mash-ups.” When the combination of two […]
Read more "Sam the Eagle as Spock"I have been trying to find the right balance of academia and creativity this month. I have multiple lectures on the horizon and a few that are brand new. However, I don’t want to completely stop painting altogether while researching and producing new lectures. My artistic goal from 2017 carries into 2018 – to only […]
Read more "True Friendship"Today I am sharing an older piece that long ago found a home with someone else. This painting is titled “Destined for Greatness” and was included in the 3rd Annual Puppet Art Show a few years back here in Orlando, FL. It’s a small acrylic piece – 5″ x 7″ – but I feel like […]
Read more "“Destined for Greatness”"Kawaii is the Japanese aesthetic of cuteness and I am admittedly a big fan. Chococat is my favorite of the Sanrio characters (like Hello Kitty) and I have a few plush toys of Pusheen (a very fat, round kitty) and Domo (a Japanese pop culture icon). I really wanted to paint something super cute before […]
