for the next year i will produce one completed painting a week. the only parameters i have set for myself is that the painting must be on canvas or canvas board. there are no size restrictions. so, one week if i'm pressed for time i'll do a small piece on 9x12 canvas board---conversely, if i have a few days off in a week, i'll knock out a 24x36 or a 36x48 canvas. this journey will begin and end with a self-portrait. why do you want to do this frank? this is why: i produce a 7 day a week comic strip called bob the squirrel. stories that i use in the strip are 90% taken from my life. but, they don't tell the "whole story." the real life situations are merely jumping off points for me to play with. in other words, i can only stretch the situation in certain directions within the bob the squirrel world. my recent rediscovery of painting has awakened a creative outlet that three panels a day can't contain. while the comic strip will remain my first love, i've come to realize that there is more to me than just a comic strip or an editorial panel. each week, as i complete a painting i will photograph it and post it to this page. hopefully, by july 2007, you will be able to see my progression as both an artist and person...plus, i may just get better at painting. |
