This is a scan of an original drawing used for Elizabeth and the Catapult's Happy pop video which I made. It debuted today at the Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy blog: blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/10/27/elizabeth-the-catapult...

Hanging the wealthy in the chimney
Rotterdam, Boijmans van Beuningen
collectie.boijmans.nl/en/object/90660/Hanging-the-Wealthy...
The title is not convincing in respect to the hung person;
he is rather slim and therefore most certainly not a rich or wealthy man. Yet it is evidently a strange execution scene, we see on the right of the chimney the sword of the hangman, in the chimney hangs already another delinquent.
But I never saw an execution within a chimney !
Perhaps another proverb fits better:
The big thieves hang the little ones.
Today's artwork is from my current show, it's title is Deep Healing and it's acrylic on paper. This one is the favorite in the show. I wish you could see it in person because it is actually very vibrant.
Last night was another fun night in the gallery, Dean Estes was sculpting and I was talking to people about my art and in the coffee house there was a wonderful singer Gayle Chapman who we really enjoyed a lot. ( You can hear her on that link) Paul and Tanner hung out in the coffee house the whole time and enjoyed the music.
Last night I came down with a cold, bleh. It's so strange that I felt great all day and even got the house clean and then came down with it, oh well, it will pass.
Tanner is going to spend time with some friends today and I'm off to see my little mom and do some shopping.

Here is my info graphic poster on Asian Carp. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. I went for a kind of bright in your face color palette to kind of match some of the asian info graphic styles I found on the internet. I want to keep my fish the focal point and keep him all white because he was so detailed and kind of use all the other supporting elements to lead your eye to drawing. Iniitially I had a really different tail to my fish but it was really awkward and didn't flow very well, so i scrapped the back half of the fish and started from scratch and i think it turned out really well.
Sorry about the poor resolution. I somehow lost my hi-res photos and had to recover these from Facebook! >.<
