sold 2 paintings just before the holidays. here is one of them. this painting was part of my 2009 living room show and i literally took it off my wall and handed it to the buyer. i'm glad this painting will be in a good home that i can visit often...

here is the other painting that just sold.. it's an older painting on a gesso board. at the time i didn't consider it a finished painting and always thought i'd go back to finish it. years later though, i realize that it is complete. cheers.
quick note about the bench: it was an art piece i often saw in the halls of the late ACA - students had made a bunch of benches - this one was covered in halved racket balls. i was always tempted to sit on it.

2010 living room show

recycling is the theme for next year's living room show (this isn't the them i was initially going for, but that's the way it always goes...). i plan for the show to be up by the end of february... stay tuned for a sneak peak.

just for fun... i have no idea what kind of ghost power i'm fighting for, but it has to be one of the funniest photos of my childhood... enjoy...

working on some cataloging this morning.... photographed a few works, numbered and signed some recent prints, and feel like a making a slight dent into the entire project. i've put the first 261 in numerical order up on my flickr page. after numbering all the recent prints, my count is up to 683 works. lately, i've been playing with the gouache, but mostly in my various sketchbooks...

working on the great cataloging project today... this is quite a rare painting in my collection as it's one of the few (if not the only) black and white paintings....

now this is an old painting. it's one of the first ones i ever painted and it still has an honorable spot on the wall in my studio. to me it is a perfect marriage of creepy and fun. i hope you enjoy.

pisa

pisa, originally uploaded by marcofrey.

this print is based on graffiti that i saw in pisa back in 2002. it looked like someone has graffitied someone elses grafitti by painting bright pink bunny ears on the skull. it made me laugh and was truely my favorite thing that i saw in pisa. (pisa is like the panama city beach of italy!) i love italy, just not pisa. alas, they have good grafitti artists!
