    Some folks look at a blank piece of paper and see just the blank page. When I look at a blank piece of paper I see so many things I can barely contain it in a single image. I also see things in the woodwork, the pavement, written in the sky, sometimes even sound waves are visible to me. There's always that voice, ancient and commanding, "Show them what you see." I obey, and the ritual of creativity begins again. It's a gift, or maybe it's just an obsession that smells like a gift. I hope my slow spiral into madness entertains you. Here's a painting I did in 1979. I called it "On the Eve of Destruction...we wait"

    That is pretty much true. I kick out the aggression with a little Opeth or Rammstein and then smooth the waters with some Sunshine Company or The Free Design. Even though I often take a dark look at the world around me (or inside myself), I always balance it out with kittens and fluffy clouds....I am such a yin-yang. :P

    I decided long ago that I was going to radiate as much energy as I possibly can in this lifetime. I hope it inspires you to do the same. Quit dreaming and get on the beam.

    I'm particularly fond of the one w/the keyboard.

    When you're strapped for cash let me know.

    That one was originally done as a possible new background for PE. Sean asked me to do something after I had finished their Speechless cover. But it was deemed a little too busy, and I'm not sure the people here would have accepted such a drastic change in scenery. The painting now lives in Canada. Sold it last year.

    68,000 views...wow. Thanks to everyone who's taken the time to scroll through all this nonsense. Now here's a real treat for you. I did this piece while I was still in high school. It's officially an antique now...as am I.

    Wow, man... That's quite trippy!

    I like it.

    While I won't ask what year you made that, could I ask what decade?

    That was from 1977. I think I started it just before graduation and worked on it a little into June of that year. I went right from HS into becoming a stained glass glaziers apprentice, which I did for two years.

    I started a new painting this weekend. It's called "The Cockroach King". Here's an early look:

    These paintings aren't like my other, more illustrative work. To me, they are the purest form of art I create. I always feel that I am tapping into a deeper vein of the imagination. I'd almost forgotten how much more fun they are to work on than the more complex psychedelic pieces. As it turns out, I am still on this path and shall see it to the end. Wherever it takes us.

    While I may not respond every time you open up the gallery Mr. R., I never fail to check them out.

    As your biggest fanboy on this site, I figure the only thing that precludes me actually stalking you is geography and age (mine).

    I don't miss the smell of the Androscoggin however.

    The next entry in my never ending "Celebrity Freak Show" series is going to be featuring...see if you can guess:

    ...this is just the basic sketch. I'm planning on filling out the rest of the space with some interesting characters.
