About the Art
My Way

I connect with the music I'm
hearing and often listen to the
same CD repeatedly for up to 6
hours at a time while painting.  
This allows me to feel the music
in my heart and soul.  I derive a
spiritual power from the music
and that of the artist who
created it.  The music blends
with my own emotions,
inspirations and the paint itself
to become a synergy of artistic
expression.
My Music

I always listen to music while
painting.  I Listen to many kinds
of music including  rock, heavy
metal, smooth jazz, jazz fusion,
chill, new age, and even pop
hip-hop/R&B.  
Heres a list of some of my
favorite musical artists to listen
to while painting:

Levi Huffman,  Travis Vega, Miles
Davis, Four 80 East, Nils, Petter
White, Three Doors Down, Fuel,
Staind, Tool, Metalica, Black
Sabbath, Smashing Pumpkins,
Lincoln Park, Bush.
My Paint

I use Grumbacher and Winsor &
Newton watercolor paints
exclusively.

All paintings are hand sprayed
with Prisimacolor or Blair 200
fixative for a lite protective seal.
"I can see trough
mountains, watch
me disappear, I
can even touch
the sky,
Swallowing colours
of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy
guy?"

-Daisley - Kerslake -
Osbourne - Rhoads
My Canvas

I use only the best machine
stretched canvas I can find.

My techniques will only work
with a taught canvas .
My Brushes

I use Loew-Cornell nylon brushes
exclusively. Ive tried others but
the tchniques ive developed
will only work with these fine
little magic wands.
etc.

I sometimes use oil pastel,
scientificly manufactured
charcoal, rubbing alcohol,
foam paint rollers, hamburger
flippers ,spray bottles, blow
dryers, syringes, erasures,
palette knives, tooth brushes,
sponges, Q-tips, socks and old
T-shirts in creating my paintings.
