Here’s a painting I just finished working on:
Also, here are a few events I have coming up this week:
- 1.23.14: I will be reading select passages from Morrissey’s Autobiography between sets at the 18th Pale Descendents‘ Smiths Social upstairs at Philadelphia’s Trocadero.
Very cool painting and busy week! You are takin’ it downtown!
Thanks, Susie!
I like your style. Very opaque.
I’m glad you like it! Thank you!
Congratulations on the gigs, Marc!
Thanks!
PS: I’ve decided to call the painting “Bird Man of Albuquerque.”
I’d love to know what inspired your “Birdman of Albuquerque” painting. 🙂
For some reason, I’ve been thinking about birds dressed as people for a long time. Then I read a magazine article about the extinction of the passenger pigeon, and I was struck by the illustrations of some of the birds — particularly their bright red eyes. Since I hadn’t painted anything since September, I thought I’d try for something whimsical and fun.
PS: When I was a child, I was very disappointed to learn that the movie Birdman of Alcatraz was not about an actual bird-man.
