Summer Baby

Our summer baby turned two this season. Ezra kept busy lookin' for bugs, huntin' for spiders, going down big slides, diggin' in the dirt, help cutiin' the grass, helpin' growing things in the garden, going potty outside, skinny dipping, gettin' dirty, and wearing bandages on pretend injuries...what a fantastic few months!!!

Lust for Life (Iggy Pop) 2010


The Rockin' Iguana, godfather of punk, Iggy Pop from his fantastic album Lust for Life (one of my top 100 albums I ever heard). Nice quick little piece: ink, acrylic, and pine cone pieces for teeth on found wood...worth a million in prizes!!!

Head on Over to 4th Street: New digs and New Art

Here is a link to the article in the Columbus Alive.

Keep Cool: The Gypsy (Reinhardt) 2010


The King of Cool, The King of Gypsy Swing...Django Reinhardt! Ink and acrylic on found wood, heavy man. Django is pretty damn amazing. The dude lost the use of all but two fingers on right hand due to a fire and still is one of the greatest guitarists ever, jazz or other wise. I found a sweet recording he made toward the end of his life, where he recorded with some hip young modern jazz cats and it freakin' swings, all angular and raw with his finesse intact...killer, unexpected from Djanago!
