I’ve done a few more studies, although one could be seen as more of a reach back to around a decade ago when pencils seemed to figure frequently in my paintings.

These paintings will be included in the small works December exhibition at the Elliott Fouts Gallery.

I found a bunch of Penguin Classics that I’ll be featuring in some upcoming paintings — this painting is the first study.

Nineteen Eighty-Four is one of my favourite books. Although it is fascinating, I actually don’t fear that the world depicted in it is the one we live in. It’s more like the one we are afraid we live in, and the truth is we actually live in a Brave New World which seems equally as terrifying.
