Working on my #BetterAngels series for a show this Saturday. I am coming in with content that no one has seen in the same place. Yes. I said content. I paint with words. Sometimes I am painting out of something - like this series. When I am at shows, a funny thing happens. While I am standing there with my thoughts and feelings, people come up and tell me they are theirs..and the story or circumstance where these words are their experience. While it’s awesome to brand and sto

I am continuing working on my better angels project. The focus of this art series is #aspire. To humble down and aspire to be the better parts of yourself in the darkest times. To love, uplift, support, serve, and encourage others and yourself. #aspire #BetterAngels #art #inspiration #creative #painting

The turtle hugging mermaid holds a happy turtle. She has a visible scar but holds her head in a tilt with her eyes wide open. she knows the turtle’s trust and love for her is her truest soul.

When I first started painting, I had a triple saying I did. The multiple saying piece is still my wheelhouse. The saying went: Calm as palms, Mellow as a manatee, Roll with the tides. or My Peace of Paradise. At the point I am writing and painting these, NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE HAPPENING. Not one. I am living on a $1 boat and my whole dream of running off to the sea is on serious tilt. One day, I come home from work. I barely had enough gas to go to work the next day. I am s

This is the only piece I have right now that is a “sofa Painting.” This is a colorful 18ish tall piece on wood with much character. It is light enough to be kind to dry wall. $125 W/o shipping. I expect to to be spending more time doing horizontal paintings as I ease off art shows and unforgiving venues. It is not precisely one of those fabulous transitions where the story ends well. However, success, tenacity, and luck have some overlap. I hope i can can tell you a happy e

I name most of my bars SeaHab when I am not doing custom work. Sometimes I simply name them THE BAR or TIKI BAR. However, most of my signs with mermaids sitting at a bar will have SeaHab on them. The roots of this is from my time living in Cortez, Florida around commercial fishermen. When the fishermen would come in and get their pay, they went ... a lot wild. There is not a better time to be had than a drinking night with a fisherman that just came in with a fat load of
