Laundry-Mat
Self-portraiture for an artist changes a lot over time.

A few of my sketches of a cross-section of the people from the old neighborhood. I've been meaning to clean up these sketches for awhile now...

Two blocks down from where I lived I used to sit and read outside this run down little laundry-mat. There were always bums demanding smokes and packs of screaming kids running in and out of there. Kafka and Tide packets were a welcome distraction.

Courtyard
Sometimes you find old friends in new places. Justin was one of them.

My friend Justin is a real fixture in the neighborhood. He is something of an urban legend in his own right for surviving being a chauffeur for blues and rock acts for 20 years - he is also known to wield a mean punchline.

Trouble comes in all varieties and shapes. This woman had seen her share of it.

A girl that I was very sick deep infatuated with. I never got more than her name out of her but she was always pretty close to where I was seeing a show at - for like 5 years. I couldn't decide if she was a New Face in Hell or just stalking me. All I really knew was that she was beautiful.

She was so close, but just out of reach.

The love interest, The Very Pretty Woman is a bit off-put by our hero. The Pretty Woman character is another sensitive person, like The Man, who is lost in a dimly lit maze of angry, confused people. If the poor dweeb just got it together enough they would really get along! Unfortunately for The Man, he doesn't ever have it quite together enough. The Man Who Bled Roses character is a real square - a nebbish nerd who falls for a pretty young muchacha. The character has always reminded me of Pugsly Addams or Charlie Brown if Mr. Tim Burton imagined them. Copy code to add Puppets to your site: Copy code to add Roaches to your site:

Some re-constructed production art of more characters. These zombie characters are exaggerated versions of the Man's co-workers who appear to him as nightmarish caricatures - evil-minded zombies that block him from the Pretty Woman he has become infatuated with. Working at a colossal corporation finding his office and cubicle in a murky, unhappy way. The Man Who Bled Roses character is a real square - a nebbish nerd who falls for a pretty young muchacha.
