Oh fer fucks sake! From siding with Russia to his constant and blatant racism, this bullshit needs to stop. wtf is wrong with the media? Stop sanewashing this horrible person and everyone who supports him. This is NOT the America I grew up in.

Got the sea sponges out. Great start to a 18”x24” acrylic on canvas. #bskyart

On a bridge in Alaska today…. “We are not distracted from the Epstein files”

For Dolly youtu.be/FM8zRjl2uLU?...

Just gooping away

So I found a couple of old paintings I did back in 1991. Tiny little 4”x6” acrylics. They aged ok but since they were not signed yet I am having fun “finishing” them…. #bskyart #painting

It’s gettin weird in here….. #bskyart #painting #impasto

Another thick #impasto painting on the easel. Really digging the textures….. and the colors…. #bskyart #painting

We are rapidly approaching the Days Between. Some 32 years post Garcia it still is, for me, a special time. I got the Terrapin Family Band on Saturday, Darl Star Orchestra on Tuesday, and I am playing my BEAM with a local band- State of Terrapin on Thursday. The Music Never Stopped! #gratefuldead

Some new texture work on the easel. “The Shallows” 12”x16” acrylic on canvas #bskyart

Night two of Grateful dead type weirdness. The BEAM is soooo much fun to play

Made some glorious noise last night with Terrapin Flyer. All hail Drumz and Space

Reminiscing about the years I spent turning chocolate bunnies into Zombies! Twas a laborious and sweet endeavor. #bskychocolate

I am a political junkie. I would prefer to paint. But this shit is out of hand. DJT is insane. The GOP are bunch of pedophile protectors. I piss down their necks.

Dumbest timeline EVER!

This was shot in Monterey… the night before a 3 day run. They invited all of us who were camping to come in and be the crowd. Good times! youtu.be/mzvk0fWtCs0?...

I know, I know. It’s old but wtf? It’s completely apt youtu.be/iKEZoY-TMG4?...

Post op pic. That’s gonna leave a mark

1st day post surgery. Owie. youtu.be/P9NuzRZDKwM?...

Couldn’t be on point more in this day and age…. youtu.be/v8h5VdIe33o?...

I picked the carcass of a Costco chicken after having dinner and got 24 taquitos out of it….. go me

Q: What do you say to the American people who question how much longer this will take? Obviously you know they're having higher gas prices TRUMP: You're such a disgrace. Did you hear what I just said? How many years was Vietnam?

Sometimes ribs are the only thing that fits the bill

My cats spring resting fur….. May have to paint this…..

A quick dive says this is not a debut, but it couldn’t be more apt right now. Well done. #clash #brucespringsteen youtu.be/ucOn4mJ8JK8?...

Another close up of a different section of a piece on the easel. Pallet knife layers. #bskyart #painting

Close up of a section of a piece on the easel. I love pushing colors. #bskyart #painting

Current play list. I know, I know, it’s so old. But so am I. This is the shit. The pinnacle of live psychedelics. #gratefuldead

It's ALWAYS the right time for some Bob Marley Song-War

So here we are. Deep into WWIII. It’s a slow burn with the fate of the world in the hands of a dementia addled Adderall addict spewing gibberish on the world stage while his “advisors” are hell bent on some kind of rapture. Fuck them. I piss down the necks of them all.

Six years ago I had to close my shop because of Covid. It was the week before Easter and we were getting ready. In a quick thinking turn around we painted a mask on our cute flop eared bunny and VOILA! The Covid Bunny was born. It went viral. Big time. Online sales saved my company.

Well it was fun while it lasted

WWIII SUCKS

BlueSky is cool and all but I have stories to tell. Long ones. Complicated ones. For now it’s free. First notes just went up open.substack.com/pub/jcsartist

Ok deadheads. One of my favorite Bob tunes. Quirky, weird, outstanding. youtu.be/1xAQMrOIkOk?...

The world has gone insane. But at least I got to be in the middle of a Sharknado today….so there is that

Good morning from Belize……

Too cold outside. Time for a tropical watercolor to warm the soul. #bskyart

Rest in Peace to the most unique rhythm guitar player in the history of rock and roll. I had the privilege of not only knowing him but playing with him. His contributions to the background music of my life is unfathomable. A true rock star.

New show is up! Hummingbird Estate. I can only upload 4 pics but there over 30 pieces on the walls. One sold in less than 24 hours!!!! #bskyart

I love texture. The thicker the better. 8”x8” Acrylic on Canvas. Is abstract still a thing? #bskyart

So last year after I announced that my business would be closing after 24 years we entered the busiest holidays we had ever had -(going out of business sales are great for business 🤷🏻‍♂️)- I would come home all stressed out and pour my anxiety out on paper. “Anxiety” a series of pen n ink. #bskyart

On this day many years ago we lost the greatest American composer of the 20th century. The sheer amount of music this man put out in his career is un matched. He also ripped on guitar. Miss you man. youtu.be/HGV3yV9q4Q4?...

Honestly…. If you have never read this series. Do it!! www.goodreads.com/book/show/29...

Sometimes you feel abstracted…… Distracted? #bskyart
