                  Movies

                  I always wanted to be involved with movies.
                  But like my momma said: I have to do it my way.

                  It started with a craigslist ad: Feature Film seeks Extras. 
                  Being an extra means hanging out 10 hours and filming for 2.
                  So, I started sketching in an ever-present sketchbook that you will see on screen, larger then life.  

                  Then, I went home, and I started painting. 



                  To follow all the art and news, like it on Facebook.

                  Adventures of Power

                  Picture
                  When I lived in Utah, I think I was the only painter in the whole state and I worked on everything from experimental theatre to massive opera. I got a call one day, this movie needs a few paintings.

                  Cool.

                  I did them in the living room of our tiny apartment that used to be part of the servants quarters for a brothel.  I dropped them off at Salty Productions office, and never heard anything more about it, suddenly, there it was on Netflix!

                  And there was Jane Lynch, giving the finger in front of a piece of (uncredited) Amara Art!

                  I wonder what happened to the paintings.
