new painting called "reality doesn't matter when thoughts are pleasant" and higher quality images of "fall mourning"

Below is the product of attempting to teach myself how to paint over the course of the past month alongside higher quality images of the last serious pen and ink piece I created. Due to the seemingly more versatile and powerful nature of paint, I am quite captivated and intend to continue with it for the foreseeable future. The mode in which architecture and angles are rendered, however, feels quite unnatural to me relative to the ease of pen drawn spatial features, and I'm being led more toward compositions emphasizing the figure and organic forms. Regarding the conceptual basis of  "reality doesn't matter when your thoughts are pleasant", modes of escapism, such as drugs, literature, video games, pleasant thoughts, etc., are almost  vilified through the necrotic/decaying quality of the foreground character and his setting contrasted with the expression on his face. The piece will be part of a triptych the second member of which I am currently working on. As always, thanks for the support and don't hesitate to contact me with any inquires.

Hi All,

Apologies for the recent inactivity. I have been attempting to gain some paint skills and its turning out to be rather time intensive. Anyways, here are some photos from last weekend's tour of some of the local cemeteries.

Art Hop / Art of Horror

Hello,

I will be displaying a body of work in the S.P.A.C.E Gallery for the Burlington Art Hop this weekend 9/11-9/13, and the pieces will remain up for the remainder of September  and through October and the "Art of Horror". Regarding the latter event, I just finished designing the flier and postcard posted below detailing the night of debauched dark revelry and art set to occur on the first friday of October (10/2) from 4-11pm. Please come and support VT dark artists and help this event reach its full potential to greatly enrich the creative climes of the region and spread merriment!
