In this captivating oil painting, a young woman is depicted in a moment of playful introspection. Her long blonde hair, tied back in a sleek ponytail, cascades and curls, emphasizing her graceful neck and the soft contours of her face. The artist has captured the exact moment she blows a bubble with her gum, the delicate pink sphere expanding gently from her lips. Her eyes are distant and contemplative, hinting at a world of thoughts behind her calm exterior. The background is a harmonious blend of soft, muted tones that contrast beautifully with the vibrant color of the bubble, pink cloths and pink polk dotted hair ribbon. This draws the viewer's attention to the central act of playful rebellion. This piece expertly balances realism with a touch of whimsy, inviting the audience to ponder the simple yet profound act of taking a moment for oneself.

The 2nd was a commissioned piece he did for a collector in France. The 3rd he painted as a commission for a collector in Switzerland.

The Artist has painted some of the characters from Pulp Fiction and has wanted to paint Vincent Vega for some time. After he finished his most recent Mia painting "Mia" (jack Rabbit Slims #2) he thought that a painting of Vincent in Jack Rabbit Slims would make a nice companion piece. The artist enjoyed the scenes that Tarantino filmed in the iconic Jack Rabbit Slims with all the bright muddled colors and shapes in the background. Not to mention the 1950's retro vibes of the restaurant. The Artist captured this iconic POP culture image from the movie on canvas using rich and bold oil paint.

Image is from the very popular 1998 cult classic "The Big Lebowski" starring Jeff Bridges as The Dude. As with most of the artist work, he tends to gravitate toward the humorous. After painting "The Dude" he really wanted to paint a scene that incorporated the rug. The whole movie revolves around the rug as a central character. The artist had wanted to paint this scene for quite some time but kept putting it off with all of the detail in the rug itself.

The artist gravitated to this particular scene in the cult classic "Pulp Fiction", the reason, it reminded him of a modern view of David Hockney's "Portrait of an Artist" (Pool with two figures). In the scene, Marsellus Wallace and Mia Wallace are pool side when a call comes in from Jules saying that he and Vincent find themselves in a sticky situation. Marsellus assures Jules that everything will be ok since he will be sending the "Wolf".

Kaderin Constance is a collaborative work created with a Hungarian photographer and a Hungarian model, born out of the artist’s experience navigating image driven culture online. While following various art and photography platforms, the artist found himself repeatedly drawn to a particular model only to later realize that all of the images he had been admiring were created by the same photographer.
Compelled by this consistency of vision, the artist reached out to the photographer to explore a possible collaboration. When she responded with interest, he discovered that she was based in Hungary, adding an unexpected geographic and cultural layer to the project. The work reflects on authorship, repetition, and the way digital spaces quietly shape aesthetic relationships before context is fully known. Kaderin Constance bridges distance and medium, transforming an algorithm driven encounter into a shared, intentional act of creation.

'When I Grow Up...' is meant to evoke the feeling or thought that everyone of us had as a child, that anything is possible and when I grow up I was to be… Even as adults we continue to hold onto our inner child and all the dreams and aspirations. I wanted this painting to reflect that. Is the child in the painting a little boy, a little girl, a woman? It is up to the viewer to decide.

"Windy" was aptly named by the artist as it is both female name (Wendy) and also because of the woman's hair in the painting appears to be moving as if by wind. I wanted to explore movement in a portrait as many portraits seem to be stagnant.

My goal with this painting was to have fun. I wanted to incorporate the various styles I’ve used. Much like my other paintings, I really wanted the painting to pop, attracting the eye while at the same time being playful. Playing off the hard illustrative edges of the Roy Lichtenstein-esq (background) with the soft form of both the female figure as well as the soft serve ice cream (foreground) adds a nice counter balance an play of imagery.

In July of 2012 my family and I went to Paris for vacation. I was captivated and really fell in love with the art, especially the little boutique galleries. There were quite few galleries that were featuring work by artists that painted in a very POP style using bold subject matter and vibrant colors. ‘Lips’ was inspired by the art I saw there as well as the seduction of the city of Paris itself, in all of its sexy and alluring appeal.

“NV” (Envy) This painting is an exploration into the fascination we have with name brands and the cost and value they hold in our eyes. I was reminded of this after I heard a conversation between two women, one commenting on the others expensive name brand purse. The woman with the purse commented back, “Oh this old thing.”
Using the familiar Louis Vuitton logo in the background. With the solid gold, diamond encrusted Faberge Egg grenade. I wanted to represent both beauty and destruction as in the old saying, “That (purse/outfit etc.) is too die for.”

"The Gold Watch" is a scene in which the actor Christopher Walken holding up a gold watch that he brought back from the war to give to his friends child, his "birth right". This scene in Pulp Fiction, as with many scenes in Quentin Tarantino's movies, is pivotal in the overall cause and effect.

My inspiration for this painting came from the book '1Q84' by Huruki Murikami, one of my favorite authors. The female in the foreground is loosely based on the main character ‘Aomame’ which in Japanese loosely translates to 'little pea'.

I wanted to capture this iconic POP culture image from the movie on canvas using rich and bold oil paint. Red and yellow sunbursts draw the eye to the subject as well as capture the colors used in the title of 'Pulp Fiction' and many a 'pulp novel' from the 50's.

H.I. McDunnough played by actor Nicholas Cage in the 1987 Coen Brothers cult classic ‘Raising Arizona’.
After painting ‘The Dude’ from “The Big Lebowski”, I started to think of other iconic movies and iconic scenes from those movies. It didn’t take long before the movie ‘Raising Arizona’ popped into my head. I chose this scene of one of H.I'.’s mugshot because it encapsulates so much; a habitual criminal who falls in love with officer and mugshot photographer Edwina “Ed” played by Holly Hunter. Well, you know the rest.

‘The Dude’ AKA "Lebowski" played by Jeff Bridges, from the very popular Coen Brothers 1998 cult classic "The Big Lebowski".
It was after painting "Jules" from "Pulp Fiction" that I started thinking about other iconic movies, the first one that popped into his mind was "The Big Lebowski".
I decided on this particular scene from the movie, I liked the balance and colors. He wanted to add a little something special so on the edges of the painting I added bowling balls and pins on a background of a bowling lane.

Exploring more into the classic American movies with iconic actors and scenes, Clint Eastwood in his classic westerns comes quickly to mind.
In the beginning process of the painting, I typically start with a sketch then and underpainting. My underpaintings consist of the 'sepia’ color palette to rough in the image and show the light and shadows. While I was in the process of working on the underpainting a person walked into his studio gallery and fell in love with the painting and wanted to buy it in the sepia colored underpainting. I told them that I wanted to at least clean up some of the edges and give it more of a finished look. The finished sepia palette really works for this painting of Clint Eastwood, a rugged country Western look.
After this, the artist decided to do a few more 'sepia' colored paintings as he saw would fit the integrity of the image.

Ron Swanson is a fictional character portrayed by Nick Offerman from the situation comedy television series Parks and Recreation on NBC. Ron, who has an extremely deadpan and masculine personality, actively works to make city hall less effective and despises interacting with the public. He loves meat, hunting, whisky, and breakfast foods. (Side note: I had a wood artist panel laying around for awhile not knowing what to paint on it. One day I had the thought of painting Nick Offerman’s character Ron Swanson on it. The reason behind this is that in real life Nick Offerman is quite the woodworker.)
