circle and line

This is one of my most enduring obsessions?, meditations?, recurring thought pattern?, or inspiration. It goes away, and then returns full force like my Frank Zappa collection.
It's basically this, every written language, every other shape, and almost every other place I look into can be broken down int simple constructions of circles and lines.
For design purposes, I haven't found any more challenging and satisfying material than building compositions on the simple straight line, or of a circle.
This is my most recent attempt.

still going...

gave the ox some feet, and some pink paint. more color in the water, it's a fun morning ritual.

ox, love rays, water...

it's probably time to move on. i think the ox is done. wahoo!!

year of the ox

now the Ox is starting to look more like I was thinking he should. very funny to me that i can say that day after day, after everytime i work on something, then, after being out all day and coming home, or when looking at it the next day I'll think "what was i thinking?" it looks dumb. it looks boring. Neon fixes boring most of the time.

white heat like sonar

exploding slow

love explosion # 512

table top joe

I made this table about a year ago. I'm feeling the need to push my self in some sculptural way. It happens around this time every year.

keeping it real?

After painting Eye of the Tiger, which is the reaction I had to having seen some clouds that looked like a Buddha with boxing gloves, I was inspired to attempt a more realistic representation of this vision.
I painted over this canvas several months later.
