This represents about ten years after I graduated college to about when I started teaching. There are a lot of experiments and paintings that are finished about 75%. I find it difficult to go back and finish that last 25% percent unless the painting was made for a specific goal. Especially when the painting has just been sitting there. Anyways, I worked with my brother JJ on a lot of these. Those were good times, he did a lot of the Logos and lettering in the paintings.

Hello to everyone viewing this!
Thank you for visiting. This site will feature my artwork and writing and maybe other creative ventures. I recently finished a book which I am happy with. The book features what I feel are my best artworks from over the past twenty years. I have a lot of other art which I still like and I feel is worthy of presenting. I finished the book quickly, so a lot of these other pieces were in storage and I wasn’t able to photograph them in time. Artwork is sentimental in the sense that I can look at any of these pictures and be transported back to the time I made it. These pieces go back to my time at San Jose State and span through: AG Photo, The SF MOMA, The Society of California Pioneers, Elephant Pharmacy, and Cal State Eastbay. They include travel paintings from Nepal, Peru and Vietnam, also Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond and San Francisco.
I will also be scanning the stuff I like from my sketchbooks over the years.
I hope you enjoy it.
Whats up to all my friends!
