This series discusses art historical topics through the lens of today’s social media and pop culture trends. Have selfies replaced Self-Portraits? Are food pictures modern day Still Lifes? What on earth is a meme?! This series takes a humorous and contemporary approach to art history and connects the past with the present. We will discuss […]
Read more "#ArtHistoryTrending"This is the fourth and final piece I created for the 3rd Annual Puppet Art Show that I have featured on this blog many times. The event was quite a few years ago here in Orlando and the artwork on display was incredible. Of course, I went with a Muppet theme, but in this case, […]
Read more "Sam the Eagle"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”"I am not ashamed to admit that pop culture plays a significant role in my artwork. I know a number of artists who have rejected the idea of painting pop culture references, but I truly enjoy it.

This Saturday, November 18 is dedicated to showcasing independent and locally owned comic shops around the country and Gods & […]
Read more "Local Comic Shop Day 2017"I’m keeping New Art Week rolling with this lil’ guy inspired by the highly debated Porgs in the upcoming Star Wars film, “The Last Jedi.” The film won’t be released until next month and the presence of Porgs in early marketing (children’s books, plush, the film’s most recent trailer, a photo in Entertainment Weekly, etc.) […]
Read more "Porg"New Art Week continues with this cute little guy, “Ootori-Sama.” Ootori-Sama is a minor character in Hayao Miyazaki’s epic film, “Spirited Away,” and most aren’t really sure what kind of creature it is. Is it a duck? Is it a chicken? Is it even a bird? Regardless, he is one of the spirits who visits […]
Read more "Ootori-Sama"“New Art Week” continues with this fun little set of paintings inspired by one of my favorite shows – “Gravity Falls.” I know I have raved about this show in the past, but it really is a great show. Meant for kids, there are a number of inside jokes only adults will get. Plus, it […]
