Let me be crystal clear. I don’t like MS at all. But having it has its upsides. I get to paint a lot more now. The problem is that i don’t get to surf much.

Just finished a new piece. The Cove. An awesome wave . The original photo by Karl Angell of Ocean Art Photographic. Again this is ink and acrylic.

I am trying to keep challenging myself with continuing explorations into new styles. My take on good art is to keep it creative and powerful. I don’t have a goal to produce photo-realistic art works. People can buy photos if that’s what they want. I want my art to yell loudly from the wall, grab the eye of the viewer … Read More
