A while back luthier extraordinaire, Al Reid, proposed I paint an electric guitar which he would have clear-coated and assemble. Not a piece of crap thrift store hunk of unplayable wood, but a new professional instrument that any musician in the world would feel comfortable taking up on stage...

Sometimes I start a painting and it wheels out of control like a spinning car on black ice and slams into a tree! This is one of those!I had a breen lying around that really wasn't complete and I didn't like very much...

I think I mentioned my Sea Captain Wall in passing in the last post. After moving into the new digs and getting my studio set up, I noticed I had a lot of captains in the prebreen pile. Well anytime you get a big group of blow-hards together like that there is sure to be trouble...

PREBREENThis is the first painting completed in my new studio! I put up a Sea Captain wall but had this Germanic bearded man who was odd man out. He was almost a Captain. He was old and had a beard...

When I got my new iPhone 3gs, I was disappointed I couldn't screw it into  tripod, so I hacked this together -http://budurl.com/7payThis rig can be used for almost any camera phone, one size fits all. My poor cast-off Sony Ericsson candy bar camera phone fit quite snugly!...

In our newish house, whenever I sat down in the bathroom, I noticed my eye would always be glued to this blank spot on the wall.This was a place that needed to be filled with art, so I took this small portrait of a 1920s...

PREBREENWhen my son was born, his still bloody squalling wrinkled body was put in my hands, and it was as if a switch was pulled in my brain. An instant surging electric connection! I thought then he was the most beautiful thing on this planet...

I've had this gentleman moping around, getting way too comfortable in the studio. PREBREENHe looked kind of sad, weary really. He had that kind of look that says, "Oh crap...

This is a rebreen of a lightly hastily breened valentine I gave to my wife in years gone by. As you cn see from the first photo, I was racing the clock before she woke up and of course, after a chuckle, the painting ended back up in the studio, where it has languished ever since...

This is a social network themed breen, Twitter in particular. I gave Edwina here her own Twitter account from which she has been commenting her thoughts as she's endured breenishments - the first time any of my works have been given the opportunity to complain publicly...

I have piles of prebreens lying around and none of them were volunteering for a work-over, so I grabbed this reluctant participant a couple of days ago and strapped him in...

But I can't help it - I am afraid! Obama will save us...right? This is the 3rd of my New Depression Art Commodity paintings - the PREBREEN of this work was corrupted in my camera, and never made it out alive. This was a painting of a boy and his puppy...
