Potter's Field also featured a set of the smallest paintings I've ever made: twelve .75" by 1.4" gouache on illustration board paintings, each tucked inside their own undersized vintage matchbox. I believe there are still some available.

Thanks to everyone who came out last Saturday night to make Potter's Field such a success and a blast! You left-coasters don't get enough credit for your excellent hospitality. :)
A few snaps of the work from opening night (courtesy Sam Graham and Thinkspace) are below, and I'll be posting better images in the coming days. Work is available for sale here.
You can find all the opening night pictures here!
Do also check out Esao Andrew's solo, which is in the front room-- he delivered most magnificently, as always!
...both physically, and internet-ly-- check them out! See you on Saturday!
JL from Hi-Fructose recently did a piece on me-- check it out! It's a great peep into my studio and even more peeks at the pieces for Potter's Field.
Juxtapoz published an interview with me regarding my upcoming Thinkspace show Potter's Field-- check it out! It features the first (to my knowledge) full look at the massive painting I made for it, Schlachtengemälde.
I've been reading and thinking a bit over the course of building the work for Potter's Field. Here are a few of the things that have been on my mind... click for larger.
From top: WWI-era British recruiting poster, cabinet card of heart from the Mütter collection, Civil War era gunshot reconstruction from the Mütter collection, "Skin Graft" by Otto Dix, "Widow II" by Käthe Kollwitz, "Wounded Man (Autumn 1916)" by Otto Dix, laughing coin-operated automoton at the Musee Mechanique San Francisco, WWI-era German poster, "Workers: Famine. Death is Approaching..." by Heinz Fuchs.
Next January, I have a project room solo at Thinkspace with the most esteemed (and one of my very favorite artists) Esao Andrews. I've been hard at work over the past few months... here are a few shots of the pieces in progress. Click for larger.
