Making change, one image at a time.

This photo of Lizzi Miller in Glamour Magazine is further proof that portraiture can make a bigger difference in people’s lives than any other genre or artform.

Photography’s gift to art

On this, the 170th birthday of photography, I’d like to take a moment to thank the medium and the tool that’s so often maligned in fine art.

Tracing the lineage of optics

The artist David Hockney believes that many of the old masters, including the likes of Vermeer and Caravaggio, used optics—lenses, mirrors, and cameras (both lucidas and obscuras)—to create their astonishingly realistic paintings.  I’m inclined to agree with him.

The difference between style and hand

Style is only a part of an artist’s hand, and Abshalom Jac Lahav’s 48 Jews on view at the Oregon Jewish Museum right now makes that very clear. 

The Buccas

Andrea and Paula got married last weekend, and I made a portrait of the two of them to celebrate their wedding!

Survey says…

This is America’s Most Wanted, a painting which Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid created based on polls about what people like and do not like in art.  It’s part of a series of paintings which reveals that, despite those who pretend to the contrary, artists are not free.

Seeing red

Red is one of those iconic colors.  When I hear its name, I think of the particular shade that usually adorns stop signs.  It’s hard for me to see red any other way.

The un-myth of originality

Originality is no myth if you know what you’re looking for, and photographer Mark Andrews’ project de-classified is proof of that.
