New sign painting on a scrap piece of wood. ‘Ice2’ - 14 3/8 x 15 3/4”, acrylic and enamel paint.
Inspired by the Icee drinks I used to get at gas stations back in the day. There is just something about snow-capped lettering that hits the right spot!
Read MoreI started painting on small 4 x5” pieces of foam core because… well, I was running out of room to be honest. Big art can be a big problem if you can’t find a home for it. So working small is the way to go, at least for me, at least for now.
These started off as individual works. The first one (upper right) was started sometime during the pandemic. Bottom right was second, top left was third. Just making shapes, lines, excitement, imagery that might be associated with the circus arts. It wasn’t until the end of the year that I finished the bottom left. But once it was completed I noticed that they all related to one another (it wasn’t really on my radar at the time). Perhaps this is my take on the year 2020. Only now, right before the holidays, I was able to see it.
So here’s to hoping that things will pick up in 2021: to a better life, peace, prosperity, and a better understanding.
“Four topics, one conversation”, enamel paint on four pieces of foam core, 5 x 4” each.

I updated a piece that I made in 2014 (painted some new zeros and ones and added to the original). I always dreamt of making this work large, where it goes all over the wall. One day maybe… The colors and font give it a circus type feel, which I am a fan of, but also the work reminds me of bingo. The winning combo will win you a prize!
