One of those #paintings that looks like nothing else in my catalog, and for which I have no idea how I arrived at the result. No complaints tho'... . . . #art #abstractart #mixedmedia #artscene #408creates

It is a holiday season, and the family matriarch has made my favorite #Portuguese dessert, #pasteisdenata. Simple, not overly sweet, perfect. #cozinhaportuguesa #foodporn

#fbf to a #shibari based #illustration done by request back in 2015, remixed this evening using #Prismaapp and #pixlr . . . #art #drawing

#sketchbook , boxing day. This is based off of me watching live footage of the late, very great, upright bassist, #JohnShifflett (who I saw on stage at least 4-5 dozen times over the last 20+ years, in near endless configurations). He was an impeccable musician. . . . #art #drawing #musician

This Bourbon barrel aged #stout packs a wallop. Thankfully it actually tastes pretty good.

Insomnia means...pull out old #sketchbook pages and see about what you can do with them. In this case a #drawing of #redditgetsdrawn submitter "jaceknockout" . . #art #redditartistnetwork #artistsoninstagram #Doodle #sketchoftheday

I think it's safe to say that my friendship with @tam911 is best defined by a rigorous level of serious discourse, and stentorian, subdued expression. Or it's mostly just oysters and booze and an endless cascade of hijinx. Whatever it is, after two decades it just seems to work really well.

#fbf a work done from samples of other work. This #mixedmedia #abstract #painting is named after a #scrittipolitti lyric, "big like neutrino".

So I don't have major hatred for #peabobryson (he was a decent r&b singer for all of his early career) but the mass of sappy-ass balladry (especially the dross he's done for #disney ) just makes me bleed from both ears. Plus he chose the name Pee-Bow which just sounds like he's learned how to urinate with archery-like precision. . . . #art #Doodle #lol

@mightymikemcgee never puts on a bad show, especially if it's the latest #gogogoneshow in #DTSJ . There was some brutal gongings this go, but not as savage as it could have been.

#throwbackthursday is a #mixedmedia #illustration of "caykes" processed in #Prismaapp (which by the way is otherwise becoming a bit buggy as an app). . . . #art #drawing #portrait #deviantART

#sketchbook , day meh. It's been a difficult week, so let's draw recently deceased #jazz players I discovered way late...like this barely passable take on #HamietBluiett . . . #sketchoftheday #Doodle #musician #saxophonist #drawing #artistsoninstagram

#sketchbook Tuesday...listening to "origami harvest" from #jazz #trumpeter @ambroseire ...it's wicked different but very cool stuff. Here's a #sketch heavily influenced by #basquiat...sort of.

A very preliminary thumbnail #sketch of a #drawmeinyourstyle challenge from @crom_cristianortiz ...I already have a more finished iteration en route, but enjoyed scrawling this very derivative doodle to set my eye on a peculiar path. I will be adding an umbrella...

#sketchbook 12/16/18...#sktchyapp user "Adane Maru" and some #pixlr halftone effects.

Industry night with @ohmaigawd & @socorramusic ...seems mighty nice to me. . . . #DTSJ #livemusic #sofadistrict

A quick #Doodle using #parallelpen (mostly) based off of a reference image of @raptureofsenses ...obvious liberties taken, hopefully not offensively so.

#sketchbook Sunday. A little #callipygian doodle from Friday, with color and fills added...#workinprogress #pinupart #art #sketchoftheday

I'm really enjoying experimenting with adding #turmeric tonic to some of my #mixology experiments. The root of this one is basically #gin and elderflower liqueur, equivalent parts of turmeric concentrate and mint infused simple syrup, mint bitters, and some #Bundaberg lemon lime soda. there's definitely some variations of this that can probably be done they'll have more character but this is a good start.

For those of you that have never had #Portuguese sweet bread (also known as maça souvada), your lives are here by deemed largely unsatisfactory. #cozinhaportuguesa #foodporn

It's nice to walk out into #DTSJ and get quality #busking. . . . #violin #livemusic

A #fbf to a work that's been sitting in various stages of completion for the last dozen years. It currently is hanging in my studio at #localcolorsj and a considerably different state than pictured here when I first started working on it in San Mateo. It's working title is "the aire in winter" and it is in fact a #sextych . #art #abstract #abstractart #paintings

I first bought a #mikezilber record almost 20 years ago (initially because it had @rachelzmusic on it) and it's kind of awesome to see him still gigging and putting out good material. Here he is in #DTSJ with his latest quartet lineup. . . . #jazz #livemusic #sofadistrict #saxophone

Expanding by collection of @stacyadamsstyle ....#sartorialism of boots. #ootd #shoes

#sketchbook 12/12/18 is first one back stateside after a week in the Caribbean. I went back to quickly #Doodle using a past reference, in this case #suicidegirl @soyacide . This is only very loosely based on her, but figured it merited mention. . . . #art #sketch #dessin #dibujo #desenho

Stuck in #charlottenc overnight. Here's some #foodporn ...#oysters , pork cheeks and bread pudding.

I may be departing #jamaica , but I'm keeping the vibe going even going wheels-up. #dubwise #leescratchperry

#sketchbook , #jamaica day 7. Last day here, and I'm closing up this series of great #reggae / #dub artists with the late #BimSherman. His catalog us extensive, but I love his efforts with #AdrianSherwood best (invariably as part of the extended @onusound family) best. . . . #art #dread #drawing #sketch #sketchoftheday #dubwise

A quick mid-stream additional entry to my daily #jamaican music artist #sketch series; in this case because they were playing lots of him while on the trek to Dunn's Falls. It's #loversrock stalwart @bereshammond . . . #art #reggae #drawing #musician #doodle #sketchoftheday

#sketchbook , #jamaica day 6. From Jamaica the nation, to Jamaica Queens, NY. She is iconic, she is misunderstood, and woefully underestimated(all the #ladygaga's , #beyonce's, and #riri's owe their careers to Graces trailblazing... and frankly none of them have Grace's Edge or tendency to take legitimate open risks, instead of conservatively calculated ones)...heeeeerrrres @gracejonesofficial . . . . #art #popart #feelup #pulluptothebumper

#sketchbook , #jamaica day 5 (I think it's 5, but I'm now totally on #islandtime we're all things temporal become quite elastic). The next in the series of #reggae and #dubwise musicians I admire is one of the greatest rhythm sections of any genre of all time, #slyandrobbie. Their skills actually expand much further then one would typically assume, for example their latest album with Nordic trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer is exceptional, but definitely genre-spanning. . . . #art #musicians #sketch #dub

#sketchbook , #jamaica day 4. The next #sketch themed on #dub / #reggae artists I like. This was done while soaking, and is of #NineyTheObserver, who I first heard through a cassette that I bought at streetlight records 20 some odd years ago. And there should I couldn't make heads or tails of it, but after repeated listens it really made sense. Niney, Bill Laswell, Adrian Sherwood and Lee 'scratch' Perry are probably the quartet most responsible for my interest in #dubwise music.

Post wedding celebration calls for...shots apparently. As far as I could tell it was a blue Curaçao laced kamikaze. Anjae did a helluva great job. #zeruchontour

This fellow joined me for dinner. He's like me...looked far more stern than his actual disposition. Absolutely loved getting scratches, and purred; very well behaved while clearly working the patio for attention. #catsofinstagram

#sketchoftheday was randomly inspired by seeing #raywinstone on an episode of #hignfy , and turned into some piss-poor bastardization of a #billsienkiewicz doodle. My apologies to bill on this one overall, but I kind of liked the exercise of doing this. . . . #art #sketch

Started adding some ink to the #sade #drawing from earlier this week. Ran it through #Prismaapp and it's starting to take pretty good form. . . #art #sadeadu #diamondlife #strongerthanpride #quietstorm #portrait #sketchbook

We interrupt my series of reggae musician #drawings to say RIP to #peteshelley of UK institution @thebuzzcocks ...the word bubble is a not quite oblique pop culture reference. . . . #art #nevermindthebuzzcocks #postpunk #sketch

Well, I didn't go to #scotchiesochorios , but I managed to *get* some Scotchies jerk pork anyway. Very very good. #foodporn

#sketchbook entry, #jamaica day 1. Have managed to finally get to destination. Actually met with wedding party at MBY airport. I have a very nice suite with a butler (I've never had a butler) named Melford, who seems quite badass. I have a veranda/patio thing...which is where this #drawing of #dub impresario #Bongo_I (aka Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah) is being done. Bonjo is the driving force of one of my favorite Jamaican groups , #africanheadcharge (seriously, "in pursuit of shashamane land" is nearly flawless) . . . #art #dread #dubwise #onusound #portrait #illustration #doodle #zeruchontour

Hello #jamaica , I am in you. This is not excessive...at all. #zeruchontour

Before leaving on PTO, I polished off the last of this #graciano from #quintacruz #wines ...almost as good as their Touriga wine.

Sometimes I have somewhat strong opinions.

Sitting in the CLT at an ungodly hour, waiting for pancakes, while listening to music by Thomas Feiner to drown out the pop country garbage piped through the PA. But first, sweet sweet bitter black coffee. #drinkanddraw #masticateandillustrate
