This is a blog about myself, my art and my life. It may also include comments about comics, music, tv, movies, or whatever nonsense may come to mind. I must note that I have original art and prints available for sale, and I am also available for hire for commission work. Portraits can be a great gift, be it family, friends, or of someone's favorite singer or actor.

Strange Brew
I'm currently working on this oil painting, 18x24, of Sammy Hagar based on a photo by fellow Redhead Pam Neavel. I approached this piece with the idea of making it loose and -style. It's only taken me 2-3 hours and I'm almost done.

Keep On Rockin' (it's an early Sammy Hagar song)
I've been working on this friggin' drawing for a few months off and on. It's 24"x18" graphite on mounted paper. I haven't drawn solo Sammy Hagar in a while.
Gotta say...I kinda hate drawing hair. And guitars. And hands. At least there's no guitar in this one.

Full Circle
I've been working on a LOT of Van Halen artwork since the passing of Eddie Van Halen in 2020, but I've focused on the Sammy Hagar years, because that's my guy.
I've also done multiple drawings and paintings of Sammy Hagar. This is the current oil painting I'm working on, of Sammy's latest band, Sammy Hagar and the Circle featuring Vic Johnson (of the Waboritas and the Busboys), Jason Bonham (from BONHAM, Foreigner and countless other bands), and Michael Anthony (Van Halen and Chickenfoot).
I still have to add Michael Anthony to the painting, but this is what I have so far
