my new book Dr. Devil Spring Jungle

Here's my new book. It's called Dr. Devil Spring Jungle. This book has been in the making for the last 6 months or so. We just moved to a new apartment, a better part of town. Some of that came through with the pieces in this book I think. A lot of anger living back where we lived before. Not happy about that, but these books serve me too, to help me remember always remember what things were like because time moves fast. So glad to be moving on from there though. Ok. Here goes. Dr. Devil Spring Jungle. It starts with this picture and goes on from there.

THE END.

my favorite hemingway

my dad wrote about hemingway the other day on his blog. This is my favorite hemingway. The last page of the epilogue to Death in the Afternoon.

New painting (oil on paper with the sun shining through the back of it)

Went to the mall yesterday to get my hair cut and they had a white 2012 M3 sitting right there inside the mall. That car is so gorgeous. Here's an oil on paper picture I finished up yesterday. The under portion is a giant sun painted with oils. Over that is blue chalk shading for sky and green chalk shading for earth (though you can't those colors too clearly in the picture below). Normally if you had a picture of grass and sky, the sun would just be in the sky, in this case though, the sun is behind both. On paper, the oil from the oil paint makes the paper translucent. When you hang the paper on the window, as I did with this one as I shot it, you get the effect of the light coming through the back of it and illuminating it like stained glass almost, except that this way has more texture than glass can for the most part.
 

Here's a detail if you want to look closer:
