SKull Art: Homage to Basquiat

wip oil on wood

Here is the painting so far, needs a bit tweaking, especially the face and hand and a few areas on the skull. Once it is thoroughly dry I will coat it with resin.

Painted Stone Assemblage

He kind of looks like Peter Lorre, but really the face was determined by the shape of the stone. In a way though it is rather fitting that it should look like him in one of his finest roles as Hans Beckert in the chilling Fritz Lang movie "m"

I was very happy to see an old painting of mine at the gallery found a home





I hope the buyer enjoys "Felicity Goes to Tea in her Finery"
She is wearing her finest clothes
Miss Snooty hopes that all the guests will be impressed with her new satin pants, which quite frankly are as ugly as sin BUT she thinks they are the bees knees.

Knitted Poo Invitations

I saw one on the net somewhere and thought it hilarious, so I mentioned it to my jafapal Nancy, and wham, off we go knitting poos nightly. One of the blokes off the Dwyer & Michaels show that interviewed us suggested we put potpourii in them LOL! Anyway we are making them as invitations for the ChamberPot Gallery reception.

I couldn't stop laughing when I got the mug (I mean

Raining Cats and Dogs & Street Art

Afterwards we had about 30mins no rain and we managed to yarn bomb two posts on Dayton Street before we
