Info I did do
a a very large commissioned piece for one of my regular customers, Michael
Weiss, out in Chicago. Here's a pic of me working on it. It's 4x3 feet.
The hardest part was packing and shipping it. Oh, and I'm
looking for representation or an agent. No, really. No kidding. Still not
much in the way of updates. I need to get more of my new stuff up on the
site. I also need to finish re-designing the site. In the meantime, I'm
enjoying the small town life here in Bonners Ferry. I've tried to stay
as busy as possible with my art. I have a new gallery representative in
the UK and we'll see how that works out. I'm in the process of getting
one in Holland too. More soon...? Paintings
being shown around the world...

Greetings. Summer is almost upon us and I have just listed 25 new paintings on the site with many still available. I have a show coming up June 12 in Sandpoint, Idaho called THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT. I am also now managin the Groove Studio Gallery in downtown Bonners Ferry. I know that times are tough economically and a painting might be the last thing in the world you have on your list to buy, but if you do see a painting that you would like to buy but cannot afford it now, I will take down payments and hold the painting for you until you are ready to purchase it.

Well, time sure passes quickly. Here we are with a new year and a new president. We are still suffering the same, or possibly worse, economic times. But I keep painting and painting. No reason to stop now. There has been a new section added for new 2009 paintings. I also added some of the last paintings I did for 2008. Lots are still for sale. And finally, I have been working on creating a new site. This one has become quite dated. You'll notice a change in the way I present the parge views in the 2009 paintings. I hope this is a better way to do it and I plan to employ this method on the new site. Keep checking back!

Not a lot has happened since my last posting other than the economy has crashed. Recently I have just put
up 16 new paintings in my 2008 listings and even though alot of you might happen to be a wee bit tight on cash right now, it's still a great time to invest...in artwork that is! Ok, maybe it's not but please check out the newest stuff and remember to take a moment and peruse my ebay listings. The holidays are just around the corner and maybe there's a painting that might just make that perfect gift. Happy Halloween.

A
lot has happened since my last posting. Most recently I have just put
up 24 new paintings in my 2008 listings. Plus I have three new commisiioned
pieces in that category. I was part of the Sandpoint Artwalk again this
year this time at Stage Right Cellars. Below are a couple of photos from
the opening night. I am currently part of the POAC, Sandpoint Northwest
Shelter show
that will go through the summer. I continue selling works and my ebay
store is always active. I am also starting to sell on Etsy
too. I'll be adding more there soon. In the meantime, if you see something
on this site and wonder if it's for sale and for how much, please contact
me.

my art. If

I
have just uploaded some of my newest paintings. Many have not sold yet
so get them while you can. I have sold some of my biggest and most favorite
paintings recently and am working on some new BIG pieces. I have brought
back my DEMENTED
XMAS CARDS. Right now they are listed on ebay only, but I plan to
sell them here on my site too. And finally, I am going to start a periodic
newsletter that should start going out within the next two weeks.

The Artist's Tour of Northern Idaho didn't turn out so well. But for those
people who did come by and visit, thank you.
I had an article written about some of my art in a recent
sandpoint, ID publication, the Sandpoint Reader. Click here
to view it.
I'll soon have works at The
Route of Art Gallery in Florence, Alabama. I'm
really looking forward to having my paintings there.
My new studio continues to afford me the opportunity to do
more and more paintings and explore more and more styles. Here are some
new images of me doing some recent works.

I will be participating in the Art Walk in Sandpoint starting June 22.
My main show will be at the Pend D'Oreille

I
now have giclee prints for sale of the following paintings:

Here are some new pics from my studio taken a while back...

The new news
is I got my very own art studio. What? You ask. Where were you painting
before? Well, I've always set up my studio at home but I wanted to start
doing some much larger works and Carloyn Testa who runs the Groove Studio
had a place in a bldg. she owns here in town down in the basement for
really cheap. So, I moved on in and have been painting in there ever since.
People in town are calling it the dungeon. Pictures to come soon.
Next up. I
am listed on a couple of sites that are pretty cool because I am listed
with some artists that i really like a lot and draw a lot of inspiration
from.

First, Happy New Year. Hope everyone out there has a great 2007. I just
uploaded some paintings from the end of 2006 and some new paintings from
this year. If you have a moment, check those out. I know that I have really
neglected updating any of the ebay section listings. I just sell too many
there an don't have time to list on that part of the site anymore. And
if something that you like and might want to buy has sold, I am able to
commission a piece that would be very similar. Thanks.

I just put up 7 paintings at Eichardt's Pub, Grill & Coffee
House in Sandpoint, Idaho. Below you can see a list of some of
the new places I have my works hanging. Unfortunately for most of you,
they are up here in northern Idaho.
Next, I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and thank all of you who
have purchased my paintings over 2006.

The
Groove Studio
thing is working out better than I thought. I've already
sold several pieces there and 2-3 were to people from out of state. It's
actually a very nice gallery and I am working on re-designing the website.
Other than that, I trudge along with my artwork, trying new
and old things.
May 26, 2006
I will be having works on display and for sale in our little town of Bonners
Ferry starting June 3 at the Groove
Studio. I'll have updates once that beings.
March 26, 2006
Spring is here. Time for new beginnings. I've been mostly
working on smaller pieces, stuff for ebay, but plan on doing some bigger
stuff for awhile. Especially if these ebay paintings don't start selling
soon. ha ha.
Dec. 31, 2005
Just wanted to wish every one a Safe and Peaceful 2006. I've been churning
out the work for my ebayloyalists that continue to grow and grow. Thank
you to everyone who has bought something and for all the kind words. I
will be working on some bigger paintings soon and should have more stuff
listed up here on the site.
Nov. 15, 2005
Haven't added any new works to the site yet since the last update. I sold
some of my old favorites like Evil Clown and Uncle Fester's
Son. Those were some of my earliest paintings. I also sold my biggest,
Weapons of Mass Hysteria. Im still spending a lot of time producing
works for ebay. It's also starting to get cold here in Idaho. Especially
for this California native.
Oct. 18, 2005
As you can see by my previous update, my saying "more soon"
was sort of relative. Soon, depending on what "soon" means.
Anyway, I got very lax in my updating the site and getting new stuff up
here. Well, I've been working hard the last few days putting up new works
and changing the way things are categorized. I guess I was waiting until
I did a total redesign of the site before I put new stuff up, but that
is going to have to wait. I actually have even newer stuff to put up,
but not too much. That I really will try and get up on the site "soon".
Oh, and the Holland thing (see below) fell through. At least for now.
In the meantime, my ebay store keeps chugging along.

I now
have over 100 paintings in private collections around the world: I
also
sell lots of works on ebay and my reason for selling on ebay is as follows:
"I wanted to have my work available to anyone and for a reasonable
price. So, I began doing smaller pieces just for ebay. Work that I could
sell cheaply, usually $20-50 and rarely exceeding $100, and let people own
an original piece of artwork from me. Not a copy. Always an original. Plus
my larger pieces are more expensive and I think for anyone to lay out some
hard earned money for them, they need to see more than a digital image online."
Here's what some of his buyers are saying:
"I have a number of works by well known artist on my walls-e.g. Audrey Flack, Tony Bechara, Charles Hewitt, Chryssa, Claus Olderburg, to name just a few-and I get more compliments on your piece. I am very excited about my new purchase.
Terry Dallam"
"Hi
Jeff,
Just wanted to let you know your painting has been sold for $800.00
at my gallery. I thought you might want to know how good you are.
:) I could have asked for more if it wasn't ebay price...
Regards,
Kris Kawak."
Regarding a painting bought for $350 on ebay in 2007.

i like to explore. keep pulling and ripping."
