2008-06-11T09:07:00.004-04:00

sneaks and the peeks

2008-02-24T12:25:00.002-05:00

It begins...

2008-02-24T12:22:00.002-05:00

Keeping in line with the behind the scenes thing I've got going on with this blog, here are a few snapshots of what will become Occupational Hazards

Work continues

2008-02-01T20:39:00.000-05:00

I have cleared my calender for the start of this year to focus on my first large scale solo show at ArtStar in april in Philly. I have some fun things planned hopefully times allows me to bring them all to fruition. Stay tuned for some teaser pics and whathaveyous. In the mean time contemplate and discuss the title Occupational Hazards

The 2 year thistle

2007-07-13T21:34:00.000-04:00

I have had the idea for this painting from the same period in 2005 as some of my earlier appreciated paintings (ie. accidental beheading of a topiary llama, cowboy luke etc.). Much to my dismay though it never seems to be quite right. It has been with me for 2 years now, the bane of my existence, mocking me. Elements change and morph reminding me how much my style has evolved. So here it is from initial sketch to now. It may never be finished, but 24 months and 2 states later it's getting there.

Funny Business

2007-02-02T10:48:00.000-05:00

Have had alot of good news to start the year and since I don't have any new interesting pictures from inside the studio, I think I'll give a peek at a new painting I am not sure will make the website. I call it Bobo's Exodus, enjoy

the woefully neglected blog

2006-11-30T08:44:00.000-05:00

It's hard keeping up when I am actually busy painting. Since everyone liked the painting progression(as seen below), I decided as a present for your collective patience I'd make a munny progression. Enjoy and make sure to keep yourself up to date with the goings on at rmyersart.com

To make up a new word

2006-09-26T21:45:00.000-04:00

Lackadasiality!! To say the least I've been skipping out on my blog duties, but for a good reason I am painting my face off. Shows, shows, shows...keep an eye on my site and the Gala page for updates I've got shows every month for a while. More pictures of in the works paintings to come, I promise.

Silent all these years

2006-08-26T12:08:00.000-04:00
