I’ve got twenty-twenty vision in twenty-twenty. Or I hope I do at least!
I sat through an extremely boring meeting one day. While I was doodling on the meeting notes I happen to draw two dice next to each other. I thought the dice looked pretty neat so I preceded to draw dice all day on a fairly small piece of art paper. This was the result.
HAPPY THOUGHTS is a thoughtful combination of cheap markers, old spray-paint, coloring-ink, a black pen and liquid clear. The liquid clear really spread out the colors of this picture well, and gave the image a distorted look. The bright yellow spray paint came out of the canister in little dots, and I could not resist turning them into smiley faces.
This is a pretty standard markers on paper, but I needed a technical difficulties sign for a youtube cooking show I was working on. Anyways here is the result.
Another great abstract right here at the start of 2020. I’m calling this painting SEND IT 1/3. This painting combines many different elements. The base of the painting is colored markers, on top of that layer is illustrators ink, then there is a layer of metallic gold spray paint, and white acrylic paint. This may be one of my favorite abstracts I have completed in several years.
PAYNSPRAY 1/4 Is a painting completely comprised of four different colored spray paints. These paints were all layered on the canvas at the same time, which created quite an interesting mix if I do say so myself.
I’m really excited about this abstract that I called “SpillTheTea.” I think this abstract painting may be one of the best that i’ve ever done. The fact that I like this painting so much is kind of surprising, because when I was painting it I really did not like the painting. I knew this painting needed something else so I did a little doodle at the top of the canvas. I still did not like the painting so I did another layer of spray paint over the top of the doodle, and all of the paints I already had on the canvas. Moral of the story I ended up loving this painting, which just goes to show never give up.
This painting is called “Snow,Sleet,andHail” I painted this with spray paint during a particularly vicious snow storm which occurred in February of 2020 in Downeast Maine. I really like this painting, because this is really what it looks like outside when the sky is falling out here.
One day I decided that I needed a new prop for my Carl the Crow puppet. Anyways the idea was to take a magic eight ball, then spray paint the magic eight ball yellow. This of course would magically transform a magic eight ball to a whimsical one ball. Needless to say this plan of mine did not work out nearly as well as I thought it may. The process was quite messy, and I ended up getting four Accidental Yellows. Hey we “don’t make mistakes just happy accidents.” Bob Ross
A new really popular character. Neon Bling Kong stay posted for more!
An Endless Maze was painted on July 4th 2020. I used acrylic pain, and a black paint while working on this painting.
When you paint abstract painting’s you sometimes wonder whether the painting you create is an F- or an A+. I’m getting better at telling the difference between the two myself, but everyone has different perspectives on art!

This painting was originally done as an abstract with spray paints. I then went over the paintings with a sharpie. The painting is of one of my favorite views in Downeast Maine, and I hope you enjoy it!
I decided to call this painting Evening Clouds. This is what driving through Downeast Maine looks like during sunset in spring.
2020 has turned out to be quite a difficult year to celebrate. I still painted this piece to celebrate how many views the first Lobzilah got!
This painting reminded me of the game Splatoon when I first painted it! So I decided to name this game after my favorite splatoon gun! The Splat O’ Matic! Enjoy!
Pagliaco is the name of the sad clown from that opera, or so I was lead to believe! I was feeling like a sad clown the day that I painted this! Well I always feel like a clown, but I was feeling sad that day. Not to worry all is well! I still really enjoy this painting!
I painted Over Stimulation over a longer period of time than I normally paint abstracts. I just never liked how the painting looked! So I would add another layer. Then I still wouldn’t like this painting so I’d add another layer. Anyways I ended up really liking this piece and I hope you do to!
I attempted to paint a representation of the sun. I think I was successful at my attempt. What do you think?
I hate coloring in the lines! Even the one’s I draw. So I attempted to make an abstract piece where there were no lines I had to color in!
