Including the pieces in the Insomnia" & "A Little bit of Insomnia" ACEO series, these are paintings that I've created during a sleep-deprived state lasting 30+ hours (usually longer.) Falling asleep is a challenge for me 1-3 times a week. Transient onset insomnia is a symptom of stress & anxiety disorders, and a side effect of the medication I'm prescribed to control Attention Defecit Disorder. I'm usually physically exhausted but mentally alert during the painting process, but my mental capacities begin to fail and hallucinations are more likely to occur the longer I'm awake. The styles/methods/mediums used in this series will vary depending on my level of alertness.
The paintings in this series are meticulously surface-gilded with iridescent metal leaf flakes in shades of red. Looks like dichroic glass up close - very neat!

More about this Piece
Please note that some of my paintings are very difficult to photograph due to the reflective properties of the paint. In general, you can expect my artwork to look bolder and brighter in person. The colors in this piece most clearly resemble those in this unretouched, angled view:

This original painting consists of an array of colors and materials that would go well in almost any setting. This painting is protected with a textured, thick, clear gloss sealant that truly enhances the vibrancy of the paint. Photos don't do justice.
About the Artist
I'm a well-documented professional artist/photographer, best known for my breast paintings and past collaborative projects with Koopa the turtle (now retired from painting.) My body of work is largely abstract and colorful with neutrals available somewhat rarely. I've been offering fine art breast paintings on eBay since 2001. I'm the first internet-based professional to treat the method as a fine art rather than a novelty/fundraiser/fetish. I enjoy working in different styles and finding new ways to get my medium onto my support. I paint with brushes, palette knives, various body parts, toys (wind-up, RC, etc.) and fruits & vegetables. Familiar mediums include oil, acrylic, tempera, gouache, crayons, cocoa, coffee, red wine, strawberries/cherries/blueberries and melted chocolate.
Much of my work is the result of experimentation with elements, heat, time, gravity and acceleration. My photography is varied - industrial, scenic, macro, long exposure, B & W and/or digitally manipulated. A varied, complementary palette and well-balanced composition are always essential to me.
