i had a weird dream where the revolutionary war was happing in a few different periods/places at once and all the solders had on nike airs. these are all acrylic on 20"x25" paper...the painting up top i kinda left unfinished cause i got real sick of these paintings and they just seem kinda...dorky. i just needed a break from the other stuff i was doin' and soon i'm gonna get back into it. also i changed around my jeremycouillard.com if you have any advice on how to make it prettier/more user friendly please lemmie know.
are we still doin' this lightgeist thing? been pretty scarce lately...

and ya im glad you posted these even though you think they are dorky.
its nice to see how you get out of your ruts. it kinda seems like you go back in time to refresh, which i do as well.
sometimes ill take an idea from the past and see how it comes out with my new approach/mind/growth which is what that last big portrait was.

I think the bottom two are great...I don't think they're dorky...the humor/absurdity appeals to me quite a bit. I also like that you've utilized material from your dreams...no one would know this unless it was explained, and yet, the realism of the handling of the content combined with the absurdity does indeed lend a strange dreamlike quality to the paintings that one is able to grasp, I think. I think they're quite successful.
As for posting, I'm just not able to work as much as I was able to in the past. I'm split too many ways right now: father, coach, gallery director, writer, artist. The writer and artist obviously take a back seat. But I do check the site, and I'll continue to post as I finish work, even though I only have my camera phone and my images are janky.
