gm -- another drawing this morning of Anna. It's interesting that I feel differently seeing her face split from the left and right sides. does my line work bother you? #contemporaryart #portraiture #sketchbook #drawing

the painted version of the study of anna from the other day. after I was done the eyes really reminded me of early Rosso Fiorentino and his innocent haunting eyes -- almost cartoonish... #contemporaryart #painting #neoexpressionism #mannerism #surrealism

From yesterday, a tribute to the actress Keiko Kishi who recently passed away... not about likeness but trying to capture her allure and alien presence she brought to some of my favorite Japanese movies. #contemporaryart #painting #neoexpressionism

I'm becoming more conscious of the fact of the screen as a medium that we are performing against and for. My recent works are trying to explore the external, internal and everything in between. Self-Love in the Black Glass (2nd version) 2026 #contemporaryart #painting #neoexpressionism #symbolism
