Portuguese Sketchbook

I just got back from a trip to Portugal – specifically Lisbon and Porto. It was nice to get out of the toxic chaos in the US and sit around, eat good food and drink a lot of wine. As is my habit, I carried around a sketchbook and drew a lot during my travels. Below are a few of those sketches…

Morocco Sketchbook

I recently went to Morocco, which was truly a mind-blowing trip. From the narrow maze of Fes to the vast vistas of the Sahara, I saw sights and sounds that I never experienced before. Also I got some very nice rugs. As is my MO, I kept a sketchbook of my travels. Here are a few pictures…

Two Small Paintings

Here’s two small paintings I recently did. They are called, imaginatively, Coffee and Cigarettes No. 1 and Coffee and Cigarettes No. 2 (both 6x6” Oil on panel)

Italian Sketchbook

Earlier this month, my wife, son and I ventured to Italy – Venice, Florence and Milan specifically. It was a fantastic trip and, frankly, I didn’t want to come home. As I usually do, I drew constantly. And Italy, with its picturesque cities, interesting-looking people and numerous cafes, especially lends itself to drawing. Here are some of my travel sketches.

See My Painting At the 2024 Salon at the Triton



I'm really pleased to announce that my painting Penny has been selected for this year's Salon at the Triton Museum. I'm really excited to show this work, one of my faves from last year, alongside some other amazing Bay Area artists. The reception for the show is Saturday, May 25 from 2-4 pm. So if you're in the San Jose/Santa Clara area this weekend, please stop by. I'd love to see you.

Here are all the paintings I've done in 2024

Recently, I’ve been knocking out a string of small oil paintings on gesso board. They’re all based on vintage snapshots. Singularly, each picture looks at the secret, libidinal lives of its subjects. But I think like a filmmaker. The combination and juxtaposition of these paintings together feel like pieces of a larger dialogue about the act of looking and being looked at. The voyeur and the uncomfortable object of desire.

Sketchbook from my 2023/2024 Trip to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand

I just got back from a mind-blowing trip to South East Asia. If you want to hear all the details, buy me a beer and I’ll probably talk more about it than you’d care to hear. Highlights: Vietnamese food, Angkor Wat and Ha Long Bay.

When I travel, I like to keep a sketchbook on me. I’ll pull it out anytime I can and just start trying to capture the world around me. Below are a few of my drawings from that trip:
