“Gar Eating Slaw Off The Proboscis Of An Alien” -B. Hamil

Below is an ol’ illustration that I dug up from around the turn of the millennium er so.  It is a delicately grotesquely wonderful drawing of me, by a close friend.  A person whom I grew up drawing, painting, & testing the limits of art/life with.  He long ago moved far from Florida, and has since successfully branched out into other mediums… but I am hoping that he doesn’t soon forget about his original talents with quills and brushes on canvas and paper.  The springboard and idea pool from which every good artistic thing, for me at least,  has seemed to grow.

Mr. Bing Hamil…  A sincere thank you for your continued friendship and inspiration.  *Don’t forget about your sketchbook homeskillet.

Jan Svankmajer: “Dimensions of Dialogue”(Part 2)

My wife, Dana and I go through the types of things represented in the footage below on a daily basis.  The dynamics of the masculine and feminine relationship to and with each other, can be endlessly eternally satisfyingly frustrating.  Back in the early 1980’s, the Czechoslovakian born Jan Svanmajer illuminated and enlightened these types of human behaviorism’s with his particular brand of artw3rk. Which is like none other.   Uber Brilliant ideas and stop animationz galore.

“One Hand Washes The Other”

This painting was gift to Mic Mell. One of 5 pieces that I gave away at random during the opening for my gART show last June. The other recipients that night included: Michael McNabb, Crystal Perry, a married couple with two kids who like Stereolab, and Mic Mell’s photographer friend.  (eYe still wanna see the pics that he took at the opening Mr. Mell.)

“Universe Man”

This is straight outta my current sketchbook.  Thought it may be a good idea for a future painting. Only on a “slightly” larger proportion.  We shall surely see.
