PANIC SCHEMATIC

this painting took absolutely forever...the stripes in that chair took like a week.
Panic Schematic 48'x48'...the texture in the back is recycled tape i used to make the black lines, the shadows are oil glazes the funky patterns are cut up post it notes and everything else is a ton of acrylic.
so i need a break from these paintings...i did 7 four foot squares...i really wanna show them now and for the show i want to try to make some of the gadgets in the paintings. i bought an arduino (www.arduino.cc) and i'm learning to program it to make impossible gadgetry...we'll see. i gotta find a place to hang these. i think all 7 would look real sweet. and then like a table in the middle filled with weird interactive electronics. i was also thinking about wiring some of the paintings so if you touch them they make sounds...i dunno...

also i'm doing little cactus/furniture paintings for brightrain. i'll post some of those soon. and working on some web pages. so much cool stuff to learn about!

J.,

I rarely have any criticisms of your work. Generally speaking, the execution and methodology is always very satisfying. I think this is a marvelous interior.
