more work!

Sorry for some of these being cruddy scans, but I really wanted to get these up here - primarily, to share these with people, but also to offer them up for sale! That's right! All of these are for sale. I'm moving Brookline in the fall and could really use the money. Plus, I like the thought of my work going out into the world. It's almost as good as the initial act of painting. Anyways, here they are, ready for your viewing and priced accordingly. haha


Take care (almost wrote "Love," there...strange...maybe not, though,

Love,

Andrew

p.s. These prices are completely flexible. Help fund my move-out!

"Daydream Believer" ($150)
"Mir" ($150)
"Rage" ($170)
"Just a simple plan to keep you awake..." ($165)

"Space and Time series" ($40)


"Butts" ($70)
"Palm Face" ($40)

Whoops! I forgot this one, when uploading the others. I have more of these weird, figurative ones on the way.


Take care,

Andrew

Here are a few new pieces I brought up, today. I've been eating hamburgers and hot dogs, ever since I bought too many for my graduation party. Thankfully, they're almost gone. Don't get me wrong - I love cookout food, but there's just something about preparing and eating that sort of thing that's a bit maddening. Anyways, I like how those two came out and am satisfied with the other two as well.

Per usual, I'm not sure where I'm taking this stuff. I just like the meditative act of listening to music loudly and painting more than one piece at a time.

Thanks for looking.


Take care,

Andrew

New stuff, as of July 2007...

Here's some of the newer stuff I've been chewing on, lately. I've been trying to really shake things up with my work - incorporating things that I've done before with the newer methods I came to enjoy in senior year. I hope these aren't horrible abominations. I feel good about them.


Take care and thanks for looking,

Andrew

p.s. The two with the uncharacteristically fully-handled figures aren't recent, but I've been meaning to scan them. I did them while working at Buck's Rock, last year. They're a good frame of reference for the rest of the work, I guess.

So, my graduation party was incredible. It was an awesome assortment of people I care about, another chance for me to spread the wings of my project (so to speak), and, most importantly, a beautiful day. Plus, it was an opportunity for me to show the people I care about what I've been doing with my time away and money spent. Anyways, here's a picture of my work hanging, nailed to the back of my house (don't worry...those shingles are coming down, soon.......hmmm...more surfaces to work on? Maybe...)...


...and here's my dog, Dozer. He likes sleeping, almost more than I do. Hey, I was uploading pictures and he just happened to fall asleep next to me. Can you blame me?

Thanks for looking. It means a lot.


Take care,

Andrew

Working on the ol' portfolio...

So, I've been making the most conscious of efforts to make the work that I'm eventually going to show on my website the most well-rounded collection of work I can muster. Even more than that, I'm trying to display my abilities in a way that's true to home. I don't want to fake anything, which is funny because these designs are mock-ups - nothing more than exercises that mean absolutely nothing beyond the aesthetic of the design. What do you think?

It's late. This is all I got, for tonight.


Take care and, as always, thanks for looking,

Andrew

I just thought that I would show some of the progress I've made with the paintings, thus far. I feel really great about them, but haven't been doing too, too much work on them. It's been really touch and go, because I've been on the hunt for a decent, fun job, which is a little tricky to scout out. Granted, I am relying on craigslist and monster, which I guess haven't really done me wrong. We'll see. I sent my resume out to a ton of people. So, again, we'll see on that.

Anyways, here they are. Thanks for looking. Sorry for the orientation on a couple of those. I'm lazy, at the moment. If you have a laptop, flip it to the right direction. It'll make it feel like you're holding the piece itself


Take care,

Andrew

***

I added a wash and a moon to this one. I also added a very, very weird city to the right hand side of the piece. I'm sure I'll have a picture of it, soon. I like where this one is going. It's really....weird.

***

This is how this one remains, at the moment. I'm unsure of where it's going, but it's a fun little piece and this picture doesn't do justice to those awesome, awesome colors. The nail is kinda funky, too.

***

I still have to figure out what to write in that speech bubble. I love where this piece is going, though. Maybe I won't write anything in there. Who knows? I should. Meh.

***

I'm experimenting with the strength of ballpoint pen through paint, with this one. When I say "experiment", I mean that I'm running out of wood and I'm trying to paint on a piece that I foolishly drew on with ballpoint pen. We'll see how this one turns out...

***

I painted this little guy for a friend of mine. It has some specifics to it that you probably just wouldn't get. If you would get it, you'd already get it. Get it? I like it, though...

Pictures of the process. Thank goodness, I've found my niche again. I also found silver spraypaint. hehe


Take care,

Andrew

Thank god, I've started working again...

So, after a long reprieve from working and a short time spent in Beverly graduating, I'm back at home and back at the grindstone, and I've decided to up the ante on my own way of working a little bit. I've moved to working in my typical fashion of extreme formats, but now am seeing what I can do with the horizontal. Not only that, but I'm taking the advice of a friend of mine to work bigger throughout.

On that note, I've been thinking recently of trying to market myself to do custom murals. The way I see things now, I work relatively fast and relatively completely. I have something distinct going on in my work and really think that I might be able to make some sort of income doing that. Who knows, though? I'm all about thinking of crazy things I can do with my work to make it a living. I'm trying not to think about everything too much, though, lest I go crazy. Anyone in my neck of the woods want a unique, refreshing mural?

Anyways, as usual, thanks for looking.


Take care,

Andrew
