Thrilled to be taking part in the @paintguide show at @thinkspace_art tonight! I never worked out whether I thought this fellow was having an excellent or awful time, but I suppose that rather reminds me of most of the Saints Sebastian that inspired him, really. // "The Cost of Someone Else's Business", 14 x 14" gouache with mixed media on panel-mounted paper, 2019. #bhoy #gouache #stsebastian #nevermyfault #drippy #drooly #clamdangit #bondageofman #pearlnecklace https://www.instagram.com/p/B4nBiNXIQcz/?igshid=xcbee8vui1ir

Print of the day. Celtic are 131 years old today, founded on the 6th of November 1887, that's ages ago. The only Celtic illustration I've made so far is Henrik Larsson, but he's not a bad man to have picked.

“The Eggs of Antinous”, 1 x 1.5” (painting), 2.5 x 6” (assemblage). Gouache on paper in glass and metal frame with blood and found objects in vintage collaged matchbox. // Is it any wonder everything looks like a home to me? / I could crawl inside to be closer to thee. // Coming up at @antlerpdx on Halloween... #gouache #lovepoem #sporing #mask #bhoy #assemblage #foundobjects #freedna https://www.instagram.com/p/B3VGA0KjWIi/?igshid=6tnq2lis1yqu

I've been quietly working in dribs and drabs lately; there's been a great lot to do around here since arriving in Germany, and it's been frightfully hard to get myself on task when I do have time. When I can manage to nail myself to the chair and work in my sketchbook, I find I've been returning to the motif of the Landsknecht, like this b'hoy here, who over time in my work has been my favorite stand-in for the human figure. I've also been itching to get into a nice long velvet rut of graphite rendering, and I just bought some new paper*, so.... we'll see. // "God Love Your Innocence", 18 x 24" graphite on paper, 2016. #graphite #landsknecht #bhoy *looks like I should have stocked up on this paper (Strathmore toned grey) here, though. Whoops. Cue panic tears. LMK if you've heard of a stockist for Strathmore papers in Berlin. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3kWjUconnB/?igshid=ftwtxw6aqdwk

SNEAKO PEEKO // I'm really, really, really excited about this piece I did to cap off my little miniatures show-- it's a multi-layered resin piece (painting?? Resin with pieces of painting inside?), an assemblage, and maybe even a little bit of performance. Opening Halloween at @antlerpdx... *tents fingers and cackles ominously* // #sneakpeek #iguessthisonetechnicallyisntminiature #bearwithme #gouache #resin #layers #somanylayers #antique #assemblage #bhoy https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Aap1iIO6f/?igshid=asu8bjtfhzyy

When I am laid, am laid in earth... // Thinking of lengthening nights and the absolutely delicious internment in drawings, books, beds one gets to abandon oneself to this time of year... let the welcome funk curl, black and a little moist, around your earlobes... // “The Wreath of Pythagoras” 1.5 x 2” // 4.5 x 5.5”. Gouache on paper in vintage glass fitting with found objects in antique frame. #assemblage #gouache #weary #clamdangit #bhoy https://www.instagram.com/p/B4dTGlcoQOM/?igshid=1vayglel790bf

Lesser Things // Ok, so I'm too excited after shooting all the minis for my October show at @antlerpdx to not spill at least a bean or two. This is "The Lamb of Suffolk", one of my b'hoys in the show. He makes me immensely sad... I wonder if he's dead--? // 1" round gouache on paper painting, 4.75 x 5.5" assemblage with found objects // #gouache #bhoy #sharps #antiquecrochet #oldthings #sadthings #lesserthings #babyofmacon https://www.instagram.com/p/B1zERwZD7WK/?igshid=pa6zkg72uhj8

So pleased to finally share this piece for @moderneden's show "Night Garden" coming up this weekend! Poots for only being able to share a crop, but you get the idea. Pouty b'hoy bust, squelchy git-fiddle, and bad scissors-- tried to hit all the high notes on this one. // "Still Life With Double-Holed Lute (All Gardens Lay Fallow)", 5.5 x 8.5" gouache on wood-mounted paper, 2018. #gouache #bhoy #meats #lutes #nutbagtailedparrot https://www.instagram.com/p/BrS4sc5FYtF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xfuuumaibhab
