George Jones, the old-school country music star, died yesterday at 81. Many years ago I had an assignment to paint this  portrait of him for his "Super Hits" compilation album. I didn't know much about country music, but the one thing I knew about him was that he had a face that reflected many miles of hard road. I tried to get some of that into the painting.  Reportedly, he liked it.

Adding my own list to the 15 most significant influences theme started by Yuko...My list roughly fals into two categories,devide into two categories, a group of things that had a profound impact on me during the same brief time in my life, the late 60's when I was growing up, ( things that made me want to be some kind of an artist) and a later group of influences that I have collected over the course of being a painter and illustrator. I have grouped the 15 into chronological order based on when I first took notice of them, beginning with James Rosenquist, who I discovered while hiding from my French teacher in the in High School library, to my current obsession with Vincent Van Gogh.

































This was a great excercise- it makes me want to get out and get to work.

Last weekend while I was in New York I was interviewed by the great illustrator Sam Weber for his podcast series Your Dreams My Nightmares. If you are interested, please give it a listen. You can check out this interview and others on soundcloud and subscribe to Sam's podcasts via Itunes . Interesting to see that it is rated as being "Explicit"...Yes! Thank you to Sam for making it so comfortable to do- it was a cool experience for me- if you get a chance to listen, I hope you enjoy it! ---------- By the way- I have decide to try re-starting a project I worked on quite regularly for several years, painting a picture every day for myself. Previously I worked under a time limit of 20 minutes, I think I am going to expand to 30. Every two weeks or so I plan to post 10 new paintings here on Drawger (pressure is good motivation).

A line can mean many things- the shortest distance between two points, a scale of time, a place where one thig stops and another thing starts. In this context I am going to speak about my work and the critical role that the search for individuality will continue to play in our evolving field. If you can, I hope you will come to the talk.
