A simple Airbrush project for a friend’s customized 57 Chevy. Took around one hour to completion (without the final clear coat) I used Createx AutoAir colors® over a base coat clear coat finish prep with 1000 grit paper. Nothing fancy but fun to do. PS.

Having been ‘inactive’ let’s say, for the past few years, at least from posting and keeping notes here on the site, I’ve been fairly busy in ‘moving forward’ most the most part. Lots of introspection … a mid-life refocus if you will, about where and how I’d like it to shape up next and when will the next move be.
But you know, these last few years did not come without its twist and turns. Mainly, a teaching contract opened up September of last year for example. So I dove in to deliver half a dozen art courses to forty new art fundamentals students. The two month contract turned into a four, seven, unto a final and complete year.
After this wonderful and challenging experience, I had to wonder who learnt the most. One thing for sure, It’s one thing to ‘do’ and create art but it’s a totally different thing to instruct the most basic steps, one really has to slooow down.
And after all this? where to now? what? and with whom? Dubai? sure why not…
Ok so it’s been a while since my last news entry (see April 28 ‘07)
I’ve mostly been on ‘retreat mode’ or a rest period if you will. as much to assess new stuff and find …a new passion, direction, idea and/or simply to just rest and let go of work, work, work! I think a ‘pause’ period is more in line to what I’m trying to say. The creative process has and needs a space of reflection where one just sits, stops, slows down, reflect, ponder, contemplate, listen, explore and what have you. That ’space’ that ‘moment’ needs as much nourishment as the rest of the process I think. And of course that’s how I do go about it most of the time.
Now the time is ripe for engagement… and applying the new life and direction . So how about Teaching Art? and why not?
Indeed my friends in recent months I have undertook a ’sweet’ challenge to teach Art Fundamental to a class full of 40aspiring new artists, and what a challenge it been. Boy I tell you, when the teacher is ready the students will appear. I simply forgot to specify on the quantity.
So this begs the questions (I bet) How? when? and where?
Finally, a new site! … with more more photos and galleries of my work.
All in all, I’m very excited to share with you some of my preferred work from the last ten years or so. I do hope you will enjoy it. I still have many plans and ideas on the horizon, so when times permits, I will keep you updated. One thing I do want to add sooner rather than later is a web store for my Fine Art prints, Originals and even some Photography too. The store will be completely integrated with PayPal and have a secure transaction set up for anyone wanting to buy via their Visa, MasterCard, etc.
Again I do hope you will enjoy the website, and send me a word or two via my Guest book. Ideas, suggestions are welcome too ~ voice your presence!
So thanks for dropping by and let me know how I can be of help to create your next Mural project(s).
