I wish I was tending my gardens in the Yucatan instead of staring at the computer on this cold gray rainy day.

New work. After 25 years of tattooing, I have become so conditioned to being “tight” that I need some relief and want to work in a looser style. I am completely self-taught when it comes to painting, and they may be crap, but I am enjoying the freedom. #popsurrealism #newdirections #folkart

Two more new paintings for the upcoming Oddities and Curiosities Expo. I want them to look a little weathered. I am painting these in a much looser style than normal, because I think it lends itself to the aged imperfection. #odditiesandcuriositiesexpo #monsterart #thecreature #mypetmonster
