recent portraits~!

unfertalized. about 10"x 24" spray paint, oil and paint marker on wood.

when my friend lori ann invited me to be in another show at the mountain bar earlier this year, she mentioned that the theme would be rebirth. i immediately thought of microscopic images of the human eggs being fertilized by sperm. i know that has nothing to do with the concept of being reborn, but i have a hard time sticking to assignments sometimes. since i hate the idea of reproducing and conceiving and birth, [i don't have a problem with sex, just the making babies part] this painting makes me giggle. so far the people who've seen it associate the sperm cells with jizz [obviously] and have concluded that i want it all over me. interesting. i wonder if people ever think that their interpretations say more about them than me. ^_^ i'm really just into grossing myself out and laughing about it more than anything...and i'm way into photomicography and the microscopic world. i love this painting; i think it's pretty and silly and not perverted at all...we all started out as an egg under attack of some spermatozoa. i'd like to paint more people like this and have a whole collection of unfertalized friends...anyone down?



princess stephi. about 6"x 8" spray paint, oil, graphite, semi precious stones, crystals, plastic beads and a pearl or two on wood.

this is my girl stephi. she loves her kitty and speaks very softly and daintily sometimes, and other times she is hilariously sarcastic, laughs loud with her friends and has a love/hate relationship with this life. she is a very pretty lady with rosy cheeks and two different colored eyes! sometimes she gets frustrated with the redundancy of her day to day life and the stupidity and meanness of some of the people she comes in contact with, but who doesn't? one day she plans to break free from the confines of the city of cypress and the rest of the most orange of orange counties, and run away with me to the farthest reaches of...europe. most likely western europe. she dreams of finding the love of her life resting on the steps of a gothic cathedral...or sitting on a bench older than this country. lol. we're going to buy vespas and ride around town like we ain't got nothing better to do. stephi is a princess unicorn kitty baby and deserves all the most precious of gems.
