Flea Market Find of the Day: Ghost Photo

I found this photo at the flea market today.

Big Picture

While walking down to the Denver Art Museum yesterday, I passed by the alley of wheat-pasted photocopied photos -a part of the Illiterate gallery Big Picture show (mentioned previously). I have two photos up in the alley by City O City - both look quite a bit better from a distance. In the second photo above, the top and bottom ones are mine.

A couple of small works

I've been making lots of small studies and experiments lately - including this pastel study of a Scottish landscape done as a demo for drawing class and a small acrylic painting (4x6") of a coyote. The black background behind the coyote reflected in the photo quite a bit but you get the idea:

UPDATE: This little guy was posted on the well known tumblr blog This Isn't Happiness yesterday!

Stark

Here it is! Most of my part in the "Stark" exhibition at the Foothills Art Center - opening right now!

Two small drawings and a site-specific painting of a very small astronaut.

Three ink-wash works.

Two large drawings and a smaller forest fire drawing. More photos of the rest of the show tomorrow...

Another peek at Stark

I spent a few days this week helping Mindy Bray with this huge wall painting - here's a process photo from earlier this week. The finished work is very impressive. See it tonight!

made this for my upcoming participation in a show called "Stark" at Foothills Art Center.

This is such a dynamic image - I love the way every deer leaves in a different direction. Source.

Otto Dix

Otto Dix: Trichterfeld bei Dontrien, von Leuchtkugeln erhellt, 1924

Otto Dix: Granattrichter mit Blumen, 1916

Both images from Medienaesthetik - where you can scroll through a fascinating post of painting, prints and drawings of shell holes from WWI. Highly recommended.
