    D.B. Cooper

    Just a little crosspost here about my other project: Fancy Mammal. You probably already know this, but I work with Brent Wear to make these pieces where he paints and I draw in ink to make some of our unique ideas come to life.

    Light Fuse and Fly Away: Crows Playing With Fire June/July Show at Redux

    Brent and I have pretty much constantly been in the studio for our latest show. As you can see from just this one piece, it has a LOT of detail in it, and took forever. But so worth it. When you can step back and look at something in wonder, and say to yourself, wow, I made that. Our style is really meshing together. One thing you may or may not know about me is that I hate HATE painting. All of this began with a year long oil painting class in college. I don’t need to elaborate. Don’t get me wrong, about 98% of the paint is Brent. The…
