There's a brand new baby at Ziggy's house

Me and Fabio just got a new puppy so that Ziggy could have a friend to play with. She is a pitbull and we named her Columbia. She is really different than Ziggy cause she doesn't kiss so much as she bites, but I like how much of a fighter she is. 
Part of the series on nude women. Paint pen on cardboard. Paint is chipping really badly because the cardboard was coated with some shiny slick stuff, but I still like this one. I drew it on the box that my hello kitty toaster came in. I thought it was funny to think of the girl as a toaster.

be my valentine

This is a valentine I made for someone, but I liked it so much that I gave it to myself.

the big zig

This is a picture of my doggie, Ziggy Stardust. He's the best! He doesn't even bark!

shiner girl

This is guashe on cardboard (a shiner beer pack to be precise). For my series about nude women in art. My favorite one compositionally. I like how she doesn't have a head. 

my dog thinking about all the nasty things I would never eat.


I still find is so crazy that the first thing you see when you open a sale paper is all of these disgusting pictures of dead animals. But my dogs probably think they look yummy, but they also eat their own poop sometimes. This was done on cardstock, painting with craft acrylic, and collaged using modpoge, I drew the chair with a sharpie.  

More from my series of nude women, in response to all the young guys in my class painting nude women. I forgot to mention on my other post that my teacher was male, and that the day of my critique he couldn't speak and he is someone who doesn't usually know when to stop talking (the girl that presented before me got ripped to shreds for over 2 hours! she was crying!) But anyways, I'm 90% sure he was turned on, creep. 

my wiener dog.

two girls


This is a drawing I did from looking at the cover of a porno. Many of the members of my painting class at the time were young guys painting young naked women, and I thought it would be funny to also paint naked women, so I bought some porn and drew from it. Drawing nudes is fun! as well as funny, I think.

they forgot about me again.


I made this drawing because for about two weeks after I got Columbia (my pit puppy) Ziggy went into this depressing funk which was even worse than when I didn't have another dog around for him to be friends with. Now he has just progressed into the grumpy old man dog who has to bark at everyone who is new, cause he probably just assumes they are going to irritate him. I still think he is really cute though, if you can't tell by the drawing.

About Me

My photo
My favorite holidays are groundhog day and valentines day. I like that they are close together and that one is silly and one is romantic. Romantic/beautiful things and silly things are my favorite kinds of things along with all things American, particularly things of the south and of appalachia. I live with my best friend/love of my life along with my two beautiful doggies in the famously hot south. My favorite food is a bean burrito with rice, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, pico, verde, guac, and hot sauce. I love to make art about the simple, cute, funny things in life, because I think they are the most important in being happy (and being happy is most important I think).
