You’re A Wan*k%r
This is the second installment of the street posters that I did in 1995. This one incorporates some English slang, the word “wanker” which isn't a word that's used very much here and it's not really understood. Which is why I used it. The poster says, “you're a wanker. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And you're not alone either”....Dopey jerking off on what looks like a Tapies painting. And what I was saying in a very simple way was that Tapies, the famous Catalan painter, was a wanker. And so was everybody else here who paints and on top of that it is grammatically incorrect; literally translated wrong English syntax. It should have been written “Y tampoco estas solo”. That's what happens when you don’t have someone correct your grammar before you make a poster.

Happy Bunnies
Leaders Aren't Made, They are Created
The beaver is receiving special powers—superpowers, by the fairy. A fearless leader, or just a beaver on a tree trunk. Can beavers grift?
200 × 150 cm, 79’’ x 59’’, painted drawing (is that even possible?) on Fabriano paper, 2018.
Mickey Mouse and Pluto
As vulgar as this seems, it's about the cupid.
Popeye Laverda Mirage
Installation View Expo at Atelier Cora Egger, Barcelona
The theme of the show deals loosely with the theme of love in: carnal love, lost love, promised love; and the related themes of gender, power, morbidity, sexism, and pornography. This was the first time I had shown my work in a solo show in a long time. The work was new, and the timing of the show couldn't have been better. Thanks, Cora!This was one of the first raster gnomes I painted. They are all the same theme and subject. A landscape, central gnome in the foreground. A knife in one hand, a bleeding heart in the other.
I was invited to a small group show at Cora's space a few months earlier. She offered me the space to do a solo show. Lots of artists and friends that I hadn't seen for a long time came out to the opening. That felt good.
Wood Gnome
Gnome BBQ Deer
I started to work on large rolls of paper after working on wood. It is painted with a refillable marker and a sprayed line. No brushes. It was really rewarding to get this done.
