A very Stuart Davis influenced work based on a drawing I did as a small child, sometime in the early 70's.

Pettibon Plagiarism

The Gore-Gons - Norvus Breakdown EP 2008

5 tracks we left off the cd for various reasons we no longer remember.
Dolphin with rabies/Hey weirdo/I like my women bad/Kill me baby/Nurses for sale

The cover art is of course taken from Raymond Pettibon's artwork for the first Black Flag release. It features Jello Lugosi's breakdown at our last show at Zombie Lounge, a bar frequented by middle-aged skinheads.
Lack of interest on all parts leaves this release without a bar code but I know where you can get one. Of course, Nervous Norvus' influence is omnipresent.

The beautiful thing about Joe's voice was it's truth. Do yourself a favor and listen to the Mescaleros.

Heaven Needs Cretins

Watercolor 2001

I did this one soon after Joey's death as a gift for Third Degree Burns of Deadbolt, the biggest Ramones fan I've ever known. Dee Dee and Johnny went too quickly for me to keep up.

Sad Girls

Left Behind

Watercolor 2006

Everyone loved this one. "She looks sooo sad, ahhhh" blah, blah, blah.

I have seen this tattooed quite a few times in magazines with some mixed results, no one seems to want me to do it though. Anybody with a 'gun' should be able to do it no problem, they can just draw it right off your iphone.

The crying doesn't stop there...

Love Misspelled
Watercolor 2006

I was really happy with this one but even the advantage of a Halloween Art Show debut couldn't help. The think the idea behind it is pretty simple but not so, and it didn't work twice. Now, if anyone asks about it, I say "she is sad because she isn't a pirate". I think she's hot.
Lots of prints available, still

How about a crying Viking girl?

Saved From Uselessness, Almost

I saw the Blasters again, a few months ago. Phil Alvin still sounds incredible, the last of the Big Joe Turner school of blues shouting. Here is the poster I was inspired to make for The Blasters' Chicago-area shows in Nov. 2009. It was replaced with another poster when Billy Boy Arnold was added to the bill.

More moai

Acrylic on canvas 2004



I have been fascinated with Rapa Nui since childhood and was finally able to go there in June of 2004. We went in search of moai and met some beautiful, humble people. A piece of me is still there, a family portrait I painted for my friend, Kaje.
