i tried my hand at some encaustics. i can say i am fully obsessed now. this was just out of the starting gate….some quick wipes and topcoats. i can’t wait to plunge in and spend some time on the next set! also: zebra frame. more stuff is HERE and HURR. Herman, Melville, and Maude. respectively. 
some of the work i just shipped to provincetown from the past few weeks. it’s been a whirlwind. come to the cape this weekend. or, visit my site ur somethin. www.sirtimmy.com // www.briefbits.tumblr.com
drink that hot cider. i just won a figurative grant btw….i’m taking a few days off then plunging into a whole compehensive body of work. for the first time in my life. i’m pretty darn tootin excited.
a piece from the last shipment of little paintings to provincetown before my halloween show. i can’t wait to just hunker down and concentrate for a few weeks!
some sketches and dirty inks from the past couple days. a few of me being creepy at the beach…
been a spell. i’ve been showing in provincetown and locally here in maine for the summer, and have been wholly unprepared for all the ins and outs of everything. but it’s been a blast! here are a few things from one of the openings in Provincetown about a month ago ~ un/fortunately alot of the work went before i could get any photos of it: the gallery is going for a more of a merchandising, take it as you buy it slant. which, despite the constant stress, has been AWESOME. all the frames i make from old floor trim and moldings. saves money and has a nice little weathered element to it!

some of these guys are super glossy and needed long exposure photos, so the tone may be a little subdued ~ especially the cowering figure! there’s alot of blue missin :(
Roemer made the first measurements of light, not a misspelling. i’ve been obsessed with the concept recently…..
i finally have a place to paint again. first step: paint a big blank spot of black. then. my horrid process of random lines and trying to pull things out. now that i can see where it can go, i need to do studies so i don’t drive myself crazy.

finally getting around to trying to photograph some old works. i got to spend more time on the DRAWING then the painting unfortunately.
EDIT! i’ll tack on a self portrait WIP i just snapped as well….self portrait without the self!
first pass on this feller>>>i’ll get a better camera someday<<< i’m actually going to have some models to work from in a few days…so no more guessing on color and where lighting happens. not like i haven’t seen a lit face before…
and man, i hate painting on panels. never again. i need some tooth
and here’s another rough first pass over a sketch from today. sorry about the glare. the next couple panels i think i want to approach more in an academic approach. less mush and muting. i’ve been doing a few series of halloween shirts for my company i rather like…hopefully when they go live i’ll be able to show those images here sometime soon.
more stuff HERE
two posters i did for local portland maine shows. deeeerrrhoooof. gouache and ink. the other is cropped because i hate the top.
i’ve got a just a little hobby show at a local coffeeshop. i say hobby, just because i’m taking the sketches i do for kicks and timepassings and trying to turn them into fragmented oil paintings. i’m just not in oil mood any more though. i want tempera and watercolor. here’s one i started (like 5×7ish”) and a few other sketches i’m transferring to tiny panels.
some invitations i printed onto my pair of crustypunk pants. it was a fun time.
they had some character which i like…but i also realize legibility. so i did some regular as well.
and a quick study for an oil painting. i moved my bed into my studio a few weeks ago. and it’s proved worthwhile.
