Macaroni-Timelapse with music
Alla Prima study with acrylic on canvas. One of my friends actually gave me the name macaroni by talking about the feather in his hat.I learned recently that that song "Yankee Doodle" is basically an 18th century dis track. Macaroni, which is what Yankee Doodle called it when he stuck a feat...
Oogy Boogie! - Painting Timelapse and Music
Last chance to get this piece at a Choir only discount before I make it public and the discount disappears like a ghost!Secret Choir ShopHere's the beat for this video!
Alright, you asked for it. Here's the new prompt.
Not sure what this means? Me either! but it put it in the poll for some reason and you voted for it for some reason! lolThis where I'd typically add some guidelines or whatever....I got nothin! go wild with it. As always I'm open to your interpretation of what it means.Plus, it's a conte...
Ghost Submissions
Featured image by Katrin. I love how Katrin uses the decalcomania technique. She really gets interesting textures and does just enough to suggest what she sees without over doing it.Katrin@mutmalerei.katrin.uffelmann"Ghosts or spiritual beings may be everywhere around us and can also be found in...
New Playlist and a Timelapse of all my ghost studies with Music
I did four studies for the prompt before I did the final two paintings. Rather than make separate videos for each painting I just rolled them all into this one little video with a pretty slappin halloween beat (if I do say so myself.)Here's a link to the beat!Last call to purchase these studies ...
Bonus Painting Demo-Intro to Drawing Bad Art
Full 2 hour painting session with commentary about what I'm doing. This is my painting "The Cardinal," which came out of a small watercolor sketch that I did about a year and a half ago. I painted this Alla Prima. This video starts with a timelapse of the whole process to give you an ove...
Oogely Boogely! Painting Timelapse and Music
This is my official prompt submission.I started with a study for this. At the beginning of the video I'm signing it.I tried out a new panel for this piece. It was the 3/8" version of this oneI liked it. very smooth surface. No texture at all.I started with some transparent red iron oxide fro...
Let's start voting for the next prompt!
I'll announce the new prompt on Halloween 👻
Timelapse and Music- Bozo II
I don't know where the footage went for Bozo I. maybe I didn't film that one.This some pretty strange music I made for this video. enjoy!Here's the secret link to it.
Ghost Paintings Early access
I tend to paint dark stuff. That's just what I'm drawn towards. The macabre if you will. Reflecting the fact that everyone dies. Death is a part of life. It's grim and morbid but it's also beautiful and fascinating. I've always tended towards that side with my art because it'...
Hard Slams-the video I watch when art sucks
There's this video I watch when I feel like nothing is working out. When the trial and errors seem to be mostly errors. It's of one of my favorite skateboarders attempting a trick over some stairs. It's kind of painful to watch. But it kind of personifies how I feel about the process som...
Timelapse with Music-Bonk
I did a timelapse of this painting so you can watch it without me blabbing about one thing or another.
St.Crazy-Timelapse with Music
This piece is from the covid collection. I just remember I was watching the finale of the Sopranos when I was working on it. And I think the character looks like Junior Soprano.One of the nice things about editing paintings that I did in one sitting is I don't have to speed the footage up too mu...
Mastery-Art Life and Lives
As an artist I've always had mixed feelings about people saying, "you're talented," when they like my work. On one level, it's obviously a compliment and I know they mean well so I say thank you. But on a deeper level it reflects a common misunderstanding of where good art comes ...
Here's a little tour of the show

Current WIPs for the prompt
The first one is almost done the second one is probably less than half way done.
The best art advice I ever got
I was just thinking about this last week because it seemed like nothing was working out even though I felt really good about the work I was doing. Right now I'm really trying to focus on the only thing in my control: improving my painting.I'm sorry about the bad audio on this video. There...
Lose face study 2 & Art Life update
When I was working on the covid collection (I.e painting while I had covid) I did this one study where I really liked the idea but I felt the overall painting could improve.I’ve honestly been feeling a little down in the dumps lately. And the other day I was feeling especially useless and gloomy. ...
Ghost Studies so far
I've got these 4 little ghost studies. I like them all for different reasons.But which one do you like? which one do you think I should I develop into a finished painting?
Remember When-Covid Collection- Painting Process and Music
This is one of the first paintings where I did the weird floating eyeball thing. Most of these paintings I've been sharing lately are studies. That just means that I'm planning on using them to develop more refined paintings from. Maybe refined is the wrong word, but they're more like sk...
Gut Reaction: One of my weirdest paintings
People always go "what's the story behind this?" When they're looking at my art.Most of the time, there isn't one. To me, painting is about transcending language. It's about experiencing something that you can't necessarily describe in words.Coming up with some sort of ve...
Paper Crown King - Painting Timelapse
This is one of the pieces from the Covid Collection.I've noticed that a lot of my paintings have been based on more simplified forms lately.Those who have been following for a while will remember the complex textures and long process of bringing out the painting from them. That will surely come ...
Pareidolia's Hideous Enchantment- Painting Timelapse
This was my submission for the Sept. Prompt "Automatic Drawing."The Completion of the piece happened to Coincide with the Hive Gallery having a "Creepy and Cute" group show.So I put this cutie in the most handsome frame I had and took him over to the gallery.Here's the Secret Lin...

The First Booboo
I wrote this after I did this study:StaminaI have been doing these studiesFollowed by automatic drawingThere's an ebb and flow thing thoughThe paintings are just flowing and they make senseBut that just can’t last foreverI can’t do that every dayI can paint every dayLike an athlete practicin...
Another ghost study
A development from the first one. I think I might just take this to a bigger panel. I have a pretty sweet frame that I could use for it.
Bonk and Boo Boo
I like the long head wounds in old loony tunes cartoons. I'm trying to figure out a way to incorporate them into some paintings. I think they're funny.Here's two studies.**I'm currently working on videos! I've got so much footage. But I'm working on music and writing some stu...
Ghost study
Totally forgot to post today. It’s been super busy. Here’s a painting I just did. The first pass at my ghost. I originally started painting the ghost from life (second picture) but I got kind of exhausted and bored from it.So I painted the canvas black and did the first paintingI think there’s...
Macaroni
This was at the peak of my one Alla Prima painting a day thing.I think this one took an hour or an hour and a half.This was very much like an automatic drawing.It's hard to describe the sensation. but I could just see the light and forms.I attribute that to the practice of doing it every day.
It’s been a long week
I call these paintings “happy bozo” and “sad bozo”Setting up shows and going to shows. I haven’t been able to prepare any of the usual choir content.But I have a bunch of paintings that I’ve done that I haven’t shared before. So I’ll be sharing some of those for the next few days whi...
