Revised December 2, 2008

Welcome to my gallery.

I created this website to showcase some of the art I’ve done over the years. I hope to add more whenever I find something I’ve done that I don’t mind sharing.

So what’s new?

To go with the holiday season, I posted a drawing I did last year for Christmas in my Phony Woodcut section.

I gotta warn you though.

There’s a few images of nudes throughout the galleries. If this sort of stuff offends you, you may not want to enter. I must add, however, that they are not of an erotic or sexual nature, in my opinion. You won’t find any “pin-up” type of art here. Sorry.

Where did I get the name for this site?

I’m a huge fan of the piece called Pictures At An Exhibition composed by the Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky. It’s been instrumentalized by many other composers like Leopold Stokowski and Rimsky-Korsakov, but most of us are familiar with the version by Ravel. I listen to it often when I work, especially when I’m working on my Baba Yaga series.

What’s with the red brick background?

It was done to honor my favorite gallery I’ve ever shown in — The Michigan Gallery. Unfortunately, it closed up a few years ago. It was in a terrific building on Michigan Ave., about a mile or so south of the old Tiger Stadium. The inside walls were red brick and added a great funky background to the fantastic art that was displayed by some of the best artists in Metro Detroit. The outside of it was decorated by cool murals.

The Michigan Gallery was run by Carl Kamulski and was well known for the most fun art openings in the city which would often extend to its back yard outside where locals bands would play live. They also held life drawing sessions twice a week. Plus there was a bar connected to it where artists would gather and talk art. I miss it greatly.

Now don’t be shy.
