The Linux penguin riding the cool new Apple mouse. Happy
holidays everyone!

Chicken Run 2 (October 19, 2000, s 2 panels 11"x 14")
This one's for Heidi, born September 19th. Following my
so-called tradition (see Under
the Sea), this is a two-panel acryllic featuring the
leading chickens from the movie Chicken Run.

Three-Oh!(September 19, 2000, 16"x20")
Whether she knows it or not, Kieca introduced me to a
couple of super-cool cartoon characters, Mr.
Lunch and Piyo Piyo. Tomorrow she's celebrating one of
her milestone birthdays, so I thought I'd have two of her
favorites say happy birthday to her.

Chicken Knitting(August 4, 2000, 24"x36")
Knitting turns out to be a common theme between Gromit
and one of the hens in Chicken Run (I'm looking up her name
at the moment). Visit danger.com for a little hint about
what the rest of this painting means.

Bump, Set...(August 4, 2000, 30"x40")
I started this cartoon painting as an an oil painting.
But tired of waiting for the paint to dry, I switched to
acrylic. The sky was painted mostly with oil paints, the
rest with acrylics. I'm not quite finished with this yet...
someday...

Falling Leaf (August 3rd 2000, 16" x 20")
My attempt to paint a green-themed painting in the
tradition of Deep Blue C and the red sunset from April of
this year. I was thinking of how the dot coms have been
getting trimmed, as well as all the wealth generated by
Internet IPOs... and of course wireless. It's an abstract,
okay?

Pao!(June 14th, 2000, 24"x30")
Paola likes Wallace and Gromit, so I threw in the chicken
from Chicken Run, too. Chicken or pie?

Calvin & Hobbes 2000 (June 14th, 2000, 16"x20")
Matt liked my original Calvin and Hobbes so much, he
asked for one for himself. I wanted this particular Calvin
and Hobbes to look like the cartoon. Whereas the original
was a hybrid of 3D and cartoon art.

Icelandic Poppies(June 12th, 2000, 8"x10")
Here's my first attempt to paint icelandic poppies for
John Nemerovski.

Sunset #2(April 20th, 2000, 24"x36")
I was at a loss of words to name this one. Any
suggestions are welcome. I was trying to do a sunset version
of Deep Blue C.

Easy Villains(Feb 29, 2000, 10"x14", 2 panels)
Nick, my development editor at Macmillan, is a big Disney
fan, particularly a fan of Disney villains. Khan (Mulan),
Ursula (Little Mermaid), Hades (Hercules), and the evil
Queen (Snow White) each ponder how easy it is to be
villians.

Red, White and Blue(Jan 2000, 24" x 36")
Dedicated to the memory of my grandmother, Lucy Jen
On Jan 13th my grandmother passed away. Borrowing from
Rothko
and Matisse,
I thought of both the joy of growing up with my grandmother
as well as the sadness of losing her. She lived a simple
life, and treasured American Cinema, especially its stars. I
thought this image captured the abstract state of my youth
as I knew her in the prime of her life.
