A Less Expected Phenomenon

The Emptiness In Somethingness

A new piece for "Get The Lead Out IV", a group show presented by Swoon Gallery, opening this Saturday at the Artery in Costa Mesa, California.

It's been three long months since I last worked on a new painting. I've been focused on some ink/charcoal pieces for an upcoming show and pencil sketches for my book. This is the color palette for the new Eluvium album. It feels really good to be painting again!
