sally meets Jack

[illusainter]

Not adding full color because the area I lived in did not look like Disneyland. It

was a working area not a tourist spot.

Line drawings in brush and ink 18x24″ followed by final drawings also 18x24″

The drawings will lead to acrylic paintings....

Sally Chevy in sections taken out of horizontal pages because tumblr. said the files were too large

[illusainter]

Sally Chevy is made up of sections of a sequence that was extended and I was unable to upload the horizontal pages. These are what is left of Sally meeting my 39 Chevy as it follows her to my former studio/loft in NYC. It will continue without horizontals.

Photos of “Blur” I took around 2006 in my cluttered loft on 28th St, in NYC

[illusainter]

“Blur” my cat was 16 1/2 years old and was euthanized yesterday because his small body was shutting down. He would hide when people visited so I had to show photos of him. He loved me and was always visible and present to me. I am a loner like him so we validated our daily existence through our shared habits. Without Blur I don’t exist on a daily basis because without Blur no one hears,smells or sees me. This painting was done 3 years ago and it  depicts my dead mom,dad and sister greeting me after I have died in the future. Blur is greeting me as well after his future death, now a fact. That is the family attic. I named him “Blur” because he was an athlete and very fast. See you in the attic, sweet Blur. A longer video of paintings I have done of Blur can be seen on YouTube    www.youtube.com/user/amereillustrator74

Pinboy meets Sally....finally

Sally spins out of inside pinboy’s head

[illusainter]

As a kid in the 50′s I set pins in a bowling alley and there was an old guy in his 60′s who was a “pinboy” too. He was an ex coal miner who had fingers missing and blue spots on him from mine explosions. I was 13-14 and half the “pinboys” were grown men who needed an extra job or they were drinkers. Since machines took over I’ve been an out of work PINBOY.
