had great idea to paint a black-magic albino alligator – ended up looking 1) like a white supremacist; and, after a day of reworking: 2) like a blob. that’s the thing with acrylics — they’re awesome when you get it right off the bat, otherwise you might as well toss the canvas. the last time this happened was when i totally flubbed the invisible man. totally depressing – started to marathon season 5 of project runway to get me kick-started creatively, but after a while… man, other peoples’ accomplishments! fuck those! so this picture of my most recent wall of paintings is self-assurance for now. might save that alligator yet, though.

the latest in my series of rockabilly monsters (+ WB Yeats, who I painted in the same style). these all take about 3 hours actual painting time over two or so weeks. one more to go, i think.
