FIGURE STUDIES

I've been trying to make it as well known as possible that I study under Greg Crane.  It seems like all the important painters have had a master that they studied under that they like to promote.  Guess im doing that.  I've been promoting his free class for a long time, and people still don't go to it (still have Byron and Charlie tho).  Heres some of the smash hits..

THE ARTIST OF THE BEAUTIFUL

This is an old series, but it was really important to me.  Before these i was a picture making chump. I had only made a handful of images that i was proud of, and i had never made a multi-image series.  I made my first handmade book for these pictures.  Jordana graced me with her help on that one..

SUMMER TWO

Toward the end of the summer I started my second series. Still life oil paintings of all the "smash hits" toys that my brother and I (and probably you) played with.




This is a series of 8 paintings that was cut short by the beginning of my final year at SVA.  The rest of the paintings are already planned out and they are..

Monopoly - Micro Machines - Legos - Star Wars (Cantina Band) - and Pokemon Cards

This series is on hold, but if there is a painting from this list that your dying to see, let me know and ill get to it next..

SUMMER ONE

This is my first series of this past summer. It's oil on wallpaper, collaged with pen drawings.

I like these next two, but they never panned out into finishes, and probably won't..
