The Band Studio

The Band Studio. Richmond. Virginia. Detroit Transit Railroad. Music.

The boys are recording a new album this spring. Is it an even trade, this London thing? Somehow, I don't think so... hmmm. the album I didn't play on...

You can listen to our first album here ( or, from iTunes).

You can see loads of my paintings on the walls. There's even one of my sculptures (from 1996)...

If the walls of that studio could speak....

A Plastic Watering Pot

An assignment in my first university art class, I was 18 years old and it was the beginning of my second semester (Spring 1996). "2-Dimensional Foundations" was the class, and at the time, I almost hated it for its' structure and rigor. Drawing from a still life set-up was the fundamental emphasis, but I didn't understand what Cezanne said ("Still life trains the eye") until much later... Looking back at this pencil drawing of a plastic watering pot, I see much beauty in its' simplicity and shape. Too bad I forgot to finish the hole at the top...

Dog

Literally, a dog named "Dog." It was winter break. I was home from university, chillin' at Mike's house. Interesting because it predates both my line and coloring series by a good seven years... I had forgotten all about it until I raided my stockpile of drawings to get ready for the first (and failed) incarnation of my last Richmond show: "Samurai Cat Caught in a Cross-Dimensional Vortex"
