an artist’s statement

Posted by resonanteye on 07/01/2009

f374836c-b818-41c8-a8e8-59e598c4e1fbI enjoy decay and texture, the play of light in dark. I enjoy scenes which evoke tactile interest, images which draw in the hand as well as the eye. I have a deep affection and tenderness for the pacific northwest, and for tones of grey and brown. I sometimes work with disturbing subject matter; but to me it’s all exploration.

I’ve been painting and working with photography for twenty years.

I’ve been tattooing since around 1998.

some new, and some old.

Posted by resonanteye on 05/18/2013

Spent the day scanning things, drawing. And relisted a few things on etsy. And then planted out the garden, the rest of it.

I got a few images of healed tattoo work I’ve done from some clients I love very much. Here’s a few of those…

Here’s a few of the things for sale (originals)…I’ll have some new stuff coming too later this week!

gardens, going home

Posted by resonanteye on 05/10/2013

THE HORROR.

THE HORROR.

Tomorrow I am going to the garden store for: tomato and pepper starts, sand and soil for the poppy zone, and a connector to hook the hose to the kitchen sink since our outdoor connection is broken.

Then on saturday I am finishing some sketches for a tattoo; sunday I am visiting a friend’s shop up here for the day and working on a client of mine I haven’t seen in…six years? ish.

Then, I’ll be packing and heading down to Oregon; I’ll be at Salem for a week. (Email me if you want time)

And then back home to further grow the garden. I feel like I’m so late with it, but may 2 was the frost date here! I’m just so used to Oregon gardening…not too sure how all this will work out up here.

The other day, Hawkins was sitting at the table writing, when he noticed something under his foot. He looked and it was a HUGE bee, a carpenter bee, crawling on the floor. He caught it in a jar, then I put it outside. It was the largest bee I’ve ever seen in my life, but it was totally non-aggressive, didn’t sting him or me.

oregon coast.

And of course we plan to be moving down there by fall, so my harvest might get interrupted…oh well. Still feels good to plant things, even if the fruits will be for others to enjoy.

I can’t wait to get back to homethe nearer to the coast we get, the happier I am going to be. I feel so stranded here- too much concrete and cars, no rain, no greenery.

I can’t hear the river or the ocean, just traffic rolling by.

I hate it.

What’s more, I’m homesick for the Siuslaw forest.

working on new pages.

Posted by resonanteye on 05/09/2013

pages for the site, dividing the work by medium, possibly by year.

 

pages for the coffee-table book about joke tattoos.

pages for the horror coloring book.

And a commission for a very close, well-loved friend.

I’ve been riding out a bit of PMS by reading ghost stories and glitch stories and tales of skinwalkers.

I’ve been sketching, sleeping, and eating spaghetti with

white sauce.

I’m absolutely poor;

 

I spent all my accumulated and recently earned money on getting my little dog’s teeth fixed, and am now impoverished hobo style but able to get sweet puppy kisses for the first time in a year.

I’ll  be tattooing in Spokane on sunday, trying to earn back some road money so I can get down to Salem and work a week through. I miss my peeps there…

And that way I can get my own teeth fixed too, sometime soon. I hope.

Working on commissions right now, broke as no joke! All of the commission monies are going straight to the vet (my doggy goes to the dentist tomorrow!)

So, I’ll be off for a few days painting and catching up.

logo and image work.

Posted by resonanteye on 05/02/2013

EPSON MFP imageI did this logo a little while ago for my friend’s natural ointment company.

You can find their products here, they’re pretty damned good stuff, too. I’m working on another logo for one of her ointments, I’ll post that soon.

I also worked on a painting commission today but it’s still wet. NO PHOTOS FOR YOU!

After I finished up my session with that, I did some processing on images I took for an e-cig companies’ website; they are going to use some for their product listings.

I sometimes barter if people have something I’d have spent money on anyway, and this little commission was great for that. I have been on a nic-juice tasting frenzy and could really use a few bottles I can just use all the time, instead of tasting a million things…I’m hoping after I go through more of their flavors I’ll find one, and be able to use my barter points on it…

Their site is here, but they don’t have flavors listed yet, and the pictures (whichever they may use) aren’t posted there. Here’s two or three of those, too.

Otherwise I did nothing today. Ate, worked, and slept late. I have a looooong day tomorrow, and should have a good crop of things to show you then!
