Portrait of an artist...

It's taken a while for me to get around to posting these pieces. I finished them last month.

The first is something I have been thinking about for a while and have finally gotten around to turning it into a real image. It's titled "Portrait of an Artist as A Young Man", oil and enamel on paper. Been wanting to do something that incorporates graffiti for awhile now. I find "street art" to be very inspirational so this is dedicated to all those unknown artists who use public space as their canvas.

The second image is so far untitled, working title is "Dirt Road Song". It's oil on wood panels. I put these panels together several months ago and was playing with several ideas of what to paint onto it. Finally this image stuck with me long enough to see it to the end. It was an experiment that left me with more ideas for future works.

E.A.S.T.
