Portrait Paintings
In the last few months I created 2 new portrait paintings. Both portraits were painted using oil paint on panel. The first is a portrait of Kylie and Danielle. It measures 16 x 20 inches. I photographed the sisters toward the end of winter at their home in Beverly hills. My wife Jana is the girls' nanny.
The second painting is a portrait of the children of Mark Burnett and Roma Downey-Burnett. I photographed the children in the early part of June at their home in Malibu. The finished painting measures 24 x 36 inches. I was lucky to have my older brother Scott assist me with the photography. You can find Scott's website on my links list. Click on on the paintings below to see them larger.

Nightfur the band
Hey everybody, if you haven't already heard, I am playing drums in a band called Nightfur! Nightfur was formed in late 2006 with Jason Brown and Skot Gillies. In 2007 we started playing shows in and around Los Angeles. Venues you may find us playing include Spaceland, El Cid, Pehrspace, and Bordello. In late Summer of 07 we self released a full length album with 14 original songs entitled "She Lives". We are now selling the CD for $5.
Songs from our record have been played on a variety of radio shows including Indie 103.1FM, KXLU88.9FM, Little Radio, and Kill Radio. To order your copy e-mail us: music@nightfur.com
to listen to the music, and check show dates, visit our myspace page: myspace.com/nightfur
*If you happen to seee this blog today...we're playing TOMORROW, DEC. 21. 07 at EL CID 4212 Sunset Blvd. with "the hundred days". Show starts at 9:30PM
here's what some people are saying about nightfur:
"Nightfur (in their own words) are influenced by “space, girls, and the past.” Rarely has a band described themselves so correctly—She Lives is the result of obsessive study of classic songwriting, combined with a tastefully deployed talent for production. Apart from a clear knack for melody as well as admirable attention to detail, there is an intriguing undercurrent of desolation and menace throughout, adding considerable depth to what would otherwise be fairly straightforward songs. This disparity is put to captivating effect: lush Motown harmonies are layered on top of sinister guitars; a melodic bass line becomes ominous beneath snarling distortion. Nightfur has succeeded in producing a record that is stylistically cohesive yet still musically varied and above all easily accessible..."
-- THE DISTRICT WEEKLY, LONG BEACH, CA
"It's hard not to fall for Nightfur's recently-released debut She Lives, what with its winsomely melancholic heart, smarty pants lyrics, and fuzzy 60s psyche pop sound... It's one of those rare albums where you have a difficult -- but pleasant -- time picking your favorite track from its numerous charmers..."
