Paintings

Acrylic on canvas.

Painted with the kids, acrylic on canvas. Someone once told me they liked my art because I wasn't afraid to use bright colors. It never occured to me not to.

Oil on canvas. Title stolen from bad b-movie from the 60s. Currently hangs in El Gato Salon, Ferndale, MI.

Acrylic on wood. I like the Red/Black/White motiff, used it on several paintings. Next I want to paint a picture of Jack and Meg White in this style.

Acrylic on Wood. First relatively big painting I did. Inspired by the recent search for a new pope.

Acrylic on Canvas (back of the canvas that is, front has another image). Painted with daughter , Katina age 4, a fearless painter with great instincts (but I may be a bit biased).

Ceramic plate I painted in Cancun, one of the first things I ever painted. Everyone was painting flowers and such ilk. I had a little darker vision. Inspired by a "Southern Culture on the Skids" song.

My son doesn't like to paint so I told him to draw a picture on canvas and I'd paint it. He drew this, and he didn't like the drawing, but I liked it a lot. So here's the finished painting.

Probably my most conventional painting, aside from the surrealistic aspect of it. Based on a drawing I did.

Acrylic on canvas, with Katina. Sold on ebay without a reserve. Sold for .99 cents, and I accidently undercharged for shipping, so I lost money. But at least I broke into the competative art market of Parma, Ohio.

Acrylics on Wood, painted with Katina age 4.

Wanted to sell this one, but my wifle liked it. so it now gaurds our side door.

"Dogs make me happy, cats make me sad. How about you?"

Definitely the folksiest thing I've done.

The watermark hides them, but there's 2 baby birds begging for food in lower right corner.

Acrylics and spray paint, some of which is flourescent and looks really cool under a black llight. This is Michael without make up.

"Black Light" painting for my Halloween party last year
