Octopus Vulgaris

Astronaut, he is son

octopus, alien life

murky waters deep

This is a new piece that I am working on. It is a depiction of an astronaut being enveloped by an octopus.

The imagery of the astronaut was based loosely on the the sculpture by Michelangelo, The Deposition (Florence Pietà).

A blast from the past...

"A Struggle to Understand"

4ft x 9ft

This was my senior show piece at Memphis College of Art back in Dec '08. It is about me trying to cope with my mother's cancer at the time. The purple cells represented my mother.

Drawing style, it was the beginning of something special I think.

Apollo

This is a series of paintings I did for a friend of mine late last year. Each painting is 4ft x 12ft. This was a very fun project for me.

I seen an angel on the canvas... and painted her until I set her free.

The Astronaut

drift wood floats at sea

adrift, is the Astronaut

…old man of the skies

This is part of a series of that I am working on. I use the imagary of space and the astronaut as a metaphor, associated to the feelings I was confronted with after my mother passed.

This is the Astronaut...

Inside the Artist

The vast mind of a New Orleanean. I look at it as, "inner workings of my world, my creativity."
