This is a quick poster I put together for a Sketch Comedy Podcast I do artwork for called F'd Up In Middle America. This is for their Halloween special. Listen to the show here, but be warned its language is very NSFW. Hysterical. But NSFW.

Its been a crazy busy month, and it being my favorite month, with my favorite holiday I thought I would share two of the new works now available at Twilight Comics in Shiloh, IL.These paintings are continuing my exploration of texture that I have been really getting back into as of late. It used to be a big thing for meas late as two years ago, but having creative tourettes, I moved on to other things for a while and have now remembered why I spent years painting thick, or on a pre-textured surface. Its just TOO much fun. : )

For more Info be sure to check out the Store section of the the site. More cool stuff to come this weekend so keep a lookout!

This is one of a new series of paintings that I am currently doing that take me back to my painting roots exploring both texture and color. I have several more exploring this theme that I will be debuting here over the next few days. Be sure to look for them at the upcoming shows, and Mindworks Gallery in Chesterfield this weekend!

This picture and caption comes courtesy of The O'Fallon Progress who had a small feature on the huge success of this weekends Strange Folk show earlier this week. It was an amazing show and I must offer my most humble and appreciative thanks to all of you who came out and made it an outstanding weekend.

But I have to say, if you liked that, and from your comments many of you did, then you're going to love what I have cooked up next.

Just you wait and see.
