natty art's NYC Horror Show

Opening reception coming soon...!

Last Exit

The Last Exit show will be hung next week! I'm frantically finishing up my series of "NYC Horrors" paintings. It will be up for viewing on October 22! I think an official opening will be had eventually. But we have yet to schedule the event. Stay tuned for more information!

Upcoming shows

I have two shows coming up!

The first is a group exhibit in cahoots with Contempt's 10th Anniversary party. The event will take place on September 20 at Bar M15 (Walker St. Btwn Broadway and Church, NYC). Other artists exhibiting that night include: Chris Conte, Dan Ouellette, Paul Komoda, Carrie Ann Baade, Louis Guidone, William Welles, John Kolbek, Alain Leriche, Danielle Ezzo, Laura McCutchan, Talissa Mehringer, and Lark Davis. Not to mention that there will be a whole Black & White themed ball occurring as well. So deck yourself out, come look at some art, and stick around to dance the night away!

The second show will happen in mid to late October and will be a solo show at Last Exit on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. To coincide with Halloween, I'm going to be prepping a "New York City HORRORS" show. Think things that truly scare NYs to the bone (roach infestations, crazy cab drivers, etc.) I'm really excited to get started on these pieces! I think it's going to be a lot of fun to work on. And I'm planning on stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new sizes and different media.

Also in the works, a possible video feature on vimby.com.

More details on all things natty art to follow...stay tuned!

Lust, 2008

A few years ago I started painting a series of seven deadly sins. It's one of those topics that everyone has covered at one point or another -- likely in art school. But it's an assignment that seemed to have escaped me over the years (most likely because I've never really had much formal art training). I therefore decided to assign the concept to myself when I was looking for a topic for a color study I wanted to try out. I started with Gluttony to try out a more earthy tone and enjoyed painting it so much (the concept and the new palette) that I decided I might as well go ahead and do the whole series. Of course, flash forward to three years later and I'd only finished Gluttony and Greed at this point! I had always had a funny visual in my head for Lust and knew I wanted her to be next. But she had to wait two years to be realized. I don't know why she finally came about this week, but she's done and here she is. Maybe in another two years I'll get on Envy or Anger! Someday someday.

If you are in the NYC area…

pumpkin time

Another new painting...just in time for October and Halloween. I used a lot more acrylic on this piece then I normally do and I broke out the shiny gold once again. I love that stuff! This one, unlike the last two I posted, is available for purchase.

Alice and the White Rabbit

Two new paintings are completed! These were painted on commission so I hate to tell you that they are already sold. I'm honestly surprised I hadn't gotten to these two subjects sooner since I have done so many other Alice characters in the past. I had a lot of fun working on these.

Which actually brings me to something I'd like to mention here, if you're interested in purchasing a piece already on the website, prices are now marked on the pieces that are available in the portfolio section. Or, if you are interested in something specific or have a set budget, please feel free to contact me about a commission. I'm more then happy to work to your specifications! Cheers and please feel free to comment, critique, etc.

new paintings!

I finally have had the chance to buckle down and start painting again. I moved in July and it was a few months of all of my supplies being lost in boxes and then the moving and exhaustion. Plus, summertime in the city is always so busy??? Anyways, I shouldn't make excuses but I am happy that I've finally been able to get started again this past weekend. I'm working on two commissioned pieces. Stay tuned for the final results very soon!
