Robot

Spray Paint on Sheet Metal 12in x 12in No relation to the also-drawn-by-me Robots from the Educational Davis lyric video that Nick still has, apparently, from 2004. In contrast to a lot of work that would follow, this was all done with tape and blocking, no markers. 2019, Red, Green,

Spray Paint

Forgotten Coast I

Spray Paint on Sheet Metal 12in x 12in Not to sound like the single weirdest person on earth but I miss working with harsh solvents. That water was done by layering blue paints and then blasting it with pressurized acetone/cap cleaner, then moving it around with silicone spatulas. 2019,
