art, mind, music, & life. always improving.
Finally got around to finishing this painting that i started maybe two years ago. I first completed the painting on paper, then mounted it on MDF, cut it out, sanded and painted the edges, then varnished.
Now i just need to make time to drive to Madison so it can meet its owner, my long-time friend Justin Eccles (who is a damn fine artist).

The giant heirloom tomato painting that was hanging on the side of my garage for the past two years was getting ragged around the edges, so i finally took it down and chopped it up into these bits. Hopefully i can make use of them down the line. I’ll miss that big cheery tomato when i’m outside on the back patio working or cooking.
This painting was originally made for a Chicago street art retrospective show at the Chicago Cultural Center.

Started up on this painting I’m making for my lovely (former) coworker, Libby. These will end up pasted on an old window from her house 🙂

More street installations from 2007 and 2008 by The Grocer.
More works by The Grocer from the summer of 2007.
In the summer of 2007, I began making original fruit and veggie themed paste-ups and installing them on derelict walls in Chicago under the moniker “The Grocer.” At the time, these acrylic paintings on paper gave me a cathartic outlet that the “serious” paintings I was doing at the time didn’t provide. Below are some of the first works I put on the streets.
