Construction Cactus, 2006
Acrylic on Canvas Board
12 in. x 16 in.
Email for Price

We use to always spend out summer vacation out in Brownfield Texas. My aunt had a poster called, "Building a Rainbow." It had a thousand ants on it using cranes and tractors, and all kinds of construction equipment and they were building a rainbow.

In 2006, I was living in San Miguel Mexico with a friend. We were into the Mescal pretty heavy then and were sitting on the roof deck painting like always when I remembered the rainbow. Mine came out a cactus.

San Pedro Sweetheart, 2010
Acrylic on Paper
22 in. x 32 in.
SOLD

I went to the bar one night across the street from my loft while I was living in San Pedro near the Port of L.A. You could say it was a dive but it was fun and the people that went there had fun. One night they had a cover band playing. I went in and posted up in the corner and listened and watched. The band was ok but the people dancing were greatness! That's when I saw The San Pedro Sweetheart break it down to a cover of American Woman. She was wearing Combat boots with white socks nearly pulled up to her knees. She had a Plaid school girl skirt on and a bra, nothing else. She had Bangs and a mullet braided long down her back. She was covered head to toe in Tattoos and brother, she won.

I love the everyday human that you never know existed, and then you come across him and find greatness. The is Guillermo, I saw him coming out of Mezcaleria in Mexico. Something about him made me think he was good with the ladies. Like, "Si, I know your sister!"

Its hard being on the run from Johnny Law. They will find you and hand cuff you and take you to jail. They will take you downtown to Jail Town.

I found a photo of a Border Patrol Agent in a "Life on the Border" Book I found at the Goodwill. Something about this guy I felt deserved to be in a painting. I feel like he's saying, " Try it, but it won't work. Cause I will catch you. You can't out run a radio."

Palm Springs Queen, 2011
Acrylic on Canvas
18 in. x 24 in.
Email for Price

We Spent Christmas in Palm Springs this year lounging by the pool and ordering room service. It was very pleasant. We stayed at the Riviera Spa And Hotel. This is the time of year to go, it was not crowded at all. They had fire pits near the pool which was warming at night seeing that the desert gets cold when the sun goes down. Supposedly the Rat Pack use to hang around there and play songs late into the night. We drank at the front bar near the piano and eventually the place got crowded. Some of the older ladies where dressed to the tee with too much make up and too much perfume. They sipped there Martinis and we got drunk. We came home to L.A. and I painted this.

The Further along I got as I painted her, the more I felt like something sad had happened. I felt like something was being taken or had been taken from her. She is part of the Native American Series I am working on.

Harlem Vizsla, 2011
Acrylic on Recyled Wood
24 in. x 50 in.
Emai For Price

At some point in your life you find the things that were important to you when you were younger are no longer important and you wonder why you gave so much attention to them at that time in your life. Some people hold onto those things as they grow older and sometimes those things can drag you down.

When I saw this fellow here, I thought he might be a pimp from the south side of Chicago that drove a pink Cadillac. But then it made sense to me. He's more of mature person these days and has gave up that life. He's actually a talented drummer making a good living entertaining. He's grown up. The problem is, his old lady hasn't. She clings to her 20's, living like a child in a 38 year old body. So now it's come to a head and our fellow in the nice suit with the pink caddy is like, " I'm tired of opening that door everyday and finding you burned out, boozed up, and ugly. "

Cool Breeze, 2011
Acrylic on Canvas
16 in. x 20 in.
SOLD

Night time does bring a cool breeze. Especially in the 1980's on the streets of Harlem. Cool Shades, cool hat, and a Adidas jump suit were the order of the day. Cruising in a 1980 Fleet wood Cadillac over to the store to make sure my money's right. Son.

I heard a quote one time about how to get rid of your fear of something by doing the thing you fear. Then I started thinking about the first settlers to head out west. These people had to be scared of the Native Americans on who's land they were about to cross. Then I started to think about Cold Beer and Al Pastor Tacos from the Taco Trucks in Mexico. Al Pastor has got to be some of the tastiest Tacos I have ever eaten. Put a little Cilantro, onion and squirt some lime on there and your set. This painting here is the mixture of Al Pastor Tacos, Negra Modelo Beer and Overcoming the things your fear.
