New work

Breathless, 2009, from the Defaces series

Fake, 2009, from the Disfigures series

These are from my two new series, Defaces and Disfigures. All are pure data at the moment, but I envision them as 40x50" prints.

Skins, hides, etc

I've been working on some new images dealing with human skin. Still trying to sort it all out in my brain.

In the meantime, please enjoy this color field painting analysis of Jenifer Aniston's strange skin tone.

Award!

I've just been awarded a CAAP (Community Arts Assistance Program) Grant for 2009. This will be my third year in a row. Hooray!

For those of you unfamiliar with CAAP, it's a great way for emerging to mid-career artists in the Chicagoland area to fund their work. Applications are usually due in December for the following year.
