Good people at 3M

So I go through a great deal of painters tape.  So much that a few years ago I started saving the tape that was used in a painting and piling it off to the side.  Eventually, a tape totem was created and still grows in my studio (I think it is 4 feet now).

I have learned how to really get the most out of this tape through peeling, unraveling, tearing, cutting, and carefully aligning it in a variety of ways.  The point is I really like it and it is essential to my studio process so I decided to contact 3M and let them know they had a happy customer. I wrote them a complimentary letter praising them on their product and yesterday I received this box full of free tape in the mail.

so thanks again 3M!

One Year of Self-portraits

From 8/30/09 to 8/30/10 I drew or painted a self portrait every day... one year of self portraits. There were many, many days that the last thing I wanted to do was sit down and look at myself, and oddly enough, some of those were my favorite ones. 

I made a book of the collection which you can preview below,
