Analog art: Painting--Justice at work

Painting: Justice at work by Jack Brummet

I painted this at least 12 years ago, and I think someone bought it or I traded it. Anyhow, all I have left is this low resolution photo. This was done with acrylic and pen on canvas, and was about two by three feet. One thing I notice is that is the ensuing years, my drawing skills have remained utterly static. Either I am a complete dolt, or found my "style" early on.

A Barnaby Ruhe painting marathon in Seattle

We went to a really fun painting marathon/party tonight at Margaret and Walter Suman's.  NYC artist/professor Barnaby Ruhe was painting--here is a not so good Blackberry shot of the painting he did of me and Keelin.  Barnaby is a former world boomerang champion, a practising shaman, painter, and professor of art at NYC.  You can read his artist biography here.  This is a fuzzy BlackBerry snapshot of the painting he did of me and Keelin.  I'll upload a better one once the painting is dry and we can bring it home.

It was fascinating to watch (and listen to) him paint.  He paints like McCoy Tyner or Jimmy Smith play--lots of vocal whooshes, blips, pops, and oohs.

Seattle Artist Narboo

I love Narboo. I saw a show of his at the Crocodile a couple of years ago, and another recently in a group show, at The Vera Project. You can check out some of his work on his flicker stream here, or his blogspot blog here.

Having sex with The President - Justine Lai's paintings

Justine Lai is creating a series of paintings in which she paints herself "having sex with the Presidents of the United States in chronological order. I am interested in humanizing and demythologizing the Presidents by addressing their public legacies and private lives."

Check out her work in progress here.
