Am I..... the baddest?

SHO NUFF



You never know what commission is coming next. This is for my friend Pat.

I have more good stuff on the way. Come back and check for progress as always.

Soon I'll be tackling paintings of:

A seductive geisha for my friend Lili.

A view of Boston only visible from the exit 20 ramp to the Pike/Chinatown. It's my favorite part of the commute on the bike. Makes me feel like I'm flying into some futuristic city whenever I hit that ramp. This painting will be for my friend Caity.

What else what else...

I'm sure there are more but I am sitting amongst too many unfinished paintings for Friday's show. Time to get back to it. After this beer.



I'll ship out a free print of my choice to whoever can guess the musical artist I was listening to when this photo was taken. Try as often as you like in the comments.
