ART SCHOOL PAINTINGS 7

Here's shot of my teenage bedroom at the time, featuring the BAR lamp from one of the self-portraits. That's the back of a painting leaning against the bed.

I guess this was the "style" I finally landed on, such as it was. (More little blue stain eaters!) After only one semester as a painting major, I switched to graphic design, where I thought less bullshit was involved.

At the time, there were TV commercials for a washing detergent that featured cleaning enzymes, which they called "little blue stain-eaters." For some reason, this triggered my little-blue-stain-eaters period.

I actually remember this model's name: Ivy. She once invited the students to a party at her house, where we got to see her fully clothed for a change.

I wasn't just painting trees in art school, thank goodness. Here's a (stylized) nude model.

I recently came upon some ancient, blurry slides of paintings I did in art school. Here are some trees.

CAMEO

My name made a cameo appearance in a video about Eldon Dedini on YouTube. It was a shot of a list of cartoonists in a New Yorker cartoon book collection.
I'd like to thank alphabetical order for making this possible.
