Blue Man, Vigor Series 2006

Been doing a fair amount of my own work in the last few months. Blue Man, Vigor Series is an experiment in acrylic paint combined with transparent collage. Most of the work I'm into these days is fairly minimalist as in the line paintings I did this summer. I have traditionally always been obsessed with realism. And I found, most of the time, my painting skills did not allow me to achieve that. So getting away from that mindset has been refreshing and I think I'll hang around this style of art for awhile. See where it goes.


**The process for getting the transparent images is simple. Just take a piece of packing tape, adhere it to a photocopy or magazine article, burnish it with a spoon. After you have burnished the tape to the image place the image in water face down and lightly rub off the back of the paper. You will be left with a transparent flexible image.
