I particularly like #4 in that post, although #5 has an interesting fingery-figural-vaginal thing going on that's also intriguing.

This isn't the best way to view these, what with the scrolling thing. But it'll have to do. If you want to see the whole painting, but smaller, you can check out my Flickr:

OK so here's my very last painting I'll post.I held off on posting it because it's a bit..naive and I feel kind of personal about it.It hangs in my mother's poolroom currently.

Not uncommon.  Everywhere is Tucson, usually when you're not ready for it.

Ok, I really like your paintings. I kinda wish more abstract art was all fleshy like yours instead of just psychedelic colours. Mind if I link this to a friend of mine?

I like the last one, too. The imperfections go with the subject matter. Good old gritty painting.

And yeah, Tucson. With the Nashville bus station around the corner.

This.
If it's perfect, it's a fucking Camels ad in a magazine or something. Too slick, look at it and forget it.

It does have that vibe. Coleman's great, I want a print of his Tod Browning painting.
But not the Mary Bell one. It's genius, but...just no.

Got to meet Joe a few years back. Nice guy. Actually he did a Q&A at the end of a showing of his movie and when he asked for questions know one was really saying anything, so I shouted out "do you want to Vulcan mind-meld with Howard Stern's penis". He then promptly began talking about hoe Sherlock Holmes knew more than Scotland yard!
