After 25 years of a commercial art life I am working my way back to who I was as an artist then. Below is the first series of paintings I've done. Cityscapes featuring billboards with my own ads that reflected my mood at the time of each painting.

FEEL THE MAGIC! yea right. I feel it every morning wakeing up at 5:30.... .never going to be a morning person. Its still dark out! From around April this year I've been rollin' into this shop at an un-godly time of day and getting involved in some of their projects. I've been out of this kind of work for many years. Lookie now, I'm working with this bunch of knuckle heads again.

They're pros and I'm pleased to be working with them.

So anyway, in a huge shipyard somewhere in Germany they have built a couple of giant boats.

We did these fabulous decorations for the rear ends of these ships....Groovin' man.

Action Photo

After years of sitting at a computer I didin't

know if I could still climb up and down a ladder and paint these type of things.

These characters are made out of

stainless steel, fiberglass,bondo and paint,

wonderful stuff. It's true that all this stuff will survive in a landfill one day, but you know it pays the bills today.

Group Effort

Back in the day (18 years ago) I would do many projects myself. These days in this shop

the projects are so big that individual ownership is rare. Most everything I work on many other hands have helped in creating.

From The Archives..................In the roarin' nineties I'd get assigned something like a Goofy Knight often we had so much going on that our craftsmen had to take on everything they could handle. On this project for Euro Disney I did the whole thing. Sculpted out of foam goofey and his hourse, glassed it, finished and painted it. Not a welder, I take pride in the fact that I welded the armature that gave the structure strenght.

Young Danny

Wanted To See the old castle project from a few years ago a successful lagre project with a tight deadline. David Smith (top left) did a masterful job managing this groups skills to create what was said to be the largest scale model of Cinderella's Castle. This was a good example of pouring lots of hard work into something and your mark is small but the end result makes you proud to have been part of the project.

Carving Pork

I use to carve things out of chunks of foam. Now someone sculpts a maquette then the good ol' computer controls a router that cuts out the sculpt true to the maquette. Multiple peices that compose the character are delivered lacking defination. A hand might be more like a mitten rather than a glove. Someone has to put the things together then carve them to look like the maquette. On this character, Pumba, I was assigned to do all the carving and worked with the guys in the shop to put this massive sculpture together. This is as close as I can come to saying I did this one.

Enough Of The Rodent Stuff...

Still Doing Some CG Art

Somewhere else to go 3D modeling and photoshop work. I'm planning to use this to do a
24" X 37"oil on panel. I might try the traffic signal in a graveyard. In doing the painting I want to create a very tactile surface in the oil paint. It should feel like the objects look.

Last Two Interiors done for a local company that shall remain nameless. 3D modeled space, then worked over in photoshop. Top, preshow que room. Below, retail space expansion.

Now From My Easel Oil paintings, ink and pencil drawings I've done when not doing some sort of work to pay my bills. Works here finished in the past six months and a current work in progress.

racing the rain with groceries (right) A little oil sketch on canvas (12x15) . I had to do this little quickie after sitting at red light and witnessing this scene. I didn't quite capture the summer rain shower chaseing her frantically through the light.

wanted poster Ink and pencil on paper (23x29). A drawing of a fictitious, crumbled up FBI wanted poster of a man that snapped over the mortgage hedge fund shenanigans on wall street. This fictitious guy took some serious action. Lets all hold our glasses up for Max

Finished the Bob Ross hot dog stand paniting. I call it Conflicting Realities (6'x8' framed). The frame shown is a digital concept design. For some reason the image above here looks vertaclly squashed. Use your mind and strech it 10% to get the right look of it.

Bars (Can You See?) (24"x38") oil on panel with construction framing. Look closely and answer the question asked.

Good news fans As you know after 25 of not doing anything I felt like putting into an art show I have started trying to get some of my work out there into the public. Not those sidewalk art fairs. Got into the Florida Biennial Vat the Florida Muesum of Art last spring. Just a group show, but getting accepted kept me intersted in trying for bigger and better shows. As I build up a stock pile of paintings I am hoping to one day fill a small gallery with the pick of my litter. For now I will take the exposure the group shows allots me.

Just got two works accepted to a kind of curious show. Its more of a studio open house although the work will hang there for a month.

Show up and support these artists, There 180 degrees from the street fairs and that is why I might fit into this group.

One last note: I have a friend I work with that is a bizzaro character, he would make an intersting wanted poster as maybe a cat murderer or something of the sort. Brad "Gorby Gorbachov" tells me that nobody reads the crap on these blogs and forums. Maybe so screwball, but I do this for a hand full of friends that seem to care in different degrees what I'm about in my delusions as an artist. They asked me to explain some of the stuff I post. If you read this Brad, I deem you a criminal and a suspect character worthy of the next FBI wanter poster.
