Obey The Kitty Painting, In Progress



I've been trying for the past two weeks to complete a painting of Chairman Meow with a pancake on his head for Kevin at Obey The Kitty. Late Tuesday there's a chance this will finally occur. You can see in this photo a new Michael Jackson portrait in progress as well.

Ray Noland of Run Blago Run informs me that the UPS parcel containing my portrait of Roy Blagojevitch with a pancake on his head made it to the front desk of his Chicago show at 10 AM on Friday, disappeared, and then reappeared once the show was over. Better pancake next time.

Daniel Tosh, The Comedian

An oil portrait of Daniel Tosh from Comedy Central's Tosh.0 with a pancake on his head. I call this painting 'The Comedian'-

Daniel Tosh, 'The Comedian'

Just before scanning this painting I realized I had forgotten the pancake, so I borrowed the pancake from my recent Robocop With A Pancake On His Head portrait and Photoshopped it onto Dan's head. I'll revise the painting with an actual pancake before listing it for auction on Ebay.

I've decided that the painting looks just fine without the pancake-

Run Blago Run

I've contributed a painting to the Run Blago Run show at the Echo Studio in Chicago. 100% of the sale of the painting will go to Street Level Youth Media. The show runs today through July 26th-

My cat Marco recently had skin cancer surgery, and a few days afterwards my wife and I found two new bumps which we had never noticed before just a half inch from each side of the surgical incision on his tummy. We worried about this for three days until we realized they were his nipples.



Thanks to the following for recently posting my paintings and cartoons-

A Michael Jackson Art Portrait

a Michael Jackson art artwork portrait

This is currently one of my more popular Michael Jackson art paintings; a portrait of Michael with his gloved hand to his head and a tear rolling through his mascara, turning from white to black.

I usually paint these in a few stages, first with an intial application of paint which I let dry for a day or two before reworking. I nearly didn't post this painting, thinking it really didn't work for some reason, but the response has been very positive.

WRIF Paintings, In Progress

I'm working on a number of paintings in celebration of my appearance tomorrow on the Drew and Mike in the Morning Show on WRIF, including this new piece in progress featuring Drew Lane and Mike Clark nude on unicorn while sailing over the great city of Detroit-

A view of the city will be included on the bottom, left-hand corner of the canvas. WRIF will also be added to Penelope's forehead, with the horn protruding from the 'R.'

Drew has a special appreciation for the work of Michael Jackson-

I'll have a number of additional paintings posted tomorrow as well, including a few Detroit-themed suggestions from my friends at Portal Of Evil News. All of these painting will be posted for auction on Ebay.

I've been invited to participate in the upcoming Run, Blago, Run art exhibition in Chicago, to which I'll be contributing a new Rod Blagovitch pancake painting. Thanks, Ray!

Thanks as well to those who have recently posted my work on various web sites and blogs, including a post this morning from the Latvian Mango.

I've been blessed to land on page one of Google for 'Michael Jackson portraits' and 'Michael Jackson paintings' which has brought my Ebay auctions an intense worldwide vistorship. Therefore, I've been painting and posting as many MJ portraits as possible.

Therefore I've kept about a half dozen very patient people waiting for painting and portraits which are all 80% complete. What I normally do in a situation like this is send everyone a little something extra. I'll try to tie up ends in the next day or so.

My OPUS: Sick Michael Jackson Appreciation Thread

I now have the honor of being banned from both Democratic Underground and Free Republic. I had actually emailed FR twice earlier in this year asking to be banned, but I never received a response. The FR ban was personally administered by Jim Robinson, the founder of FR, himself-

I see some similarity betweeen these two Black artists, both battling critics within their own racial groups and the media at the same time, both being very spiritually centered and choosing to express their faith as a unique statement through their work, but both eventually consumed by a haunted past they could not escape.

So, God bless them both. It's nice to think of them both together and eternally at their most hopeful.

The Rio Rita painting I started about 14 years ago and just recently finished for a former Rita I worked with in Las Vegas. Some commissions take a little longer than others.
