Last Night's Objets



I’m feeling the pull to do stuff that has a little more crazy to it:

I have a roll of wallpaper. Maybe I’ll get nuts on it and if something works, glue it to a board.

The Indignities of Modern Life

Well, www.myspace.com/elreyart exists now.

Also, there's Flickr and Phoenix Art Space.

By all means, add me whereever. I'm stocking up on my THANKS 4 THA ADD!! animated glittery gifs as we speak.

House in Order

There. All tidied up. Put the official headshots of recent paintings up on elreyart.com for sale sale sale! And I got a simple portfolio going over at jamesbarnett.net to spam galleries with. I think I clean up pretty decently, if you don't mind me saying so.

Feeling pretty decent about things.

Hats Make the Man



Yet another series begun! 12×16, acrylic on wood backed by 1 x 2s.

I'm listening to the audiobook version of Michael Connelly's Echo Park while I paint. I don't like the reader dude much, and it's sort of wrecking it. It is pulling me into the "studio" more, though, because I want to hear more of the story.

Last audiobook-while-painting was Max Brooks' World War Z, with an actual all-star (for audioboks) cast (John Turturro, Alan Alda, Carl and Rob Reiner, Mark Hamill, Henry Rollins). Now THAT was a good listen.

Apropos of nothing at all, really.

Suburban Heroes



That's what I think this series will be called, unless I think of something good.
