Ghost Train : Just after 6 a.m. on December 10, a six-car Red Line subway train left the Braintree, Massachusetts, MBTA station with no operator onboard. The train, carrying about 50 passengers, traveled through four stations in nine minutes before MBTA staff in a control center stopped it by cutting electricity to the third rail. This is my piece titled Ghost Train... I've been commuting ,in Boston in one way or another since the early 90s, and have my share of horror stories , but this one takes the cake.... look closely at the ghosts on the train and they run the gamut of feelings. From blind indifference to horror and everything in between.

Sweet Pad
A few months back worked with my friends to create the perfect 3 piece (actually 3 pieces ) for their pad. Came out great
in progress
Here is piece I was working on last night. The guy I originally painted with an all green suit but I decided he looked to much like a leprechaun. So I made his pants brown and his short plaid. The couple are supposed to be sitting . I did not draw in the chairs but I hope they look like they are not doing some weird dance.
I spend a lot of time painting backgrounds , that will be covered up
My friend once told me . The best thing you can do in art is paint something really cool and then cover it up. I do spend a while painting a background and then painting over 80% of it. But I feel like it makes the finished product better. Sometimes I take photos of the under paintings (mostly I don't , but I try to document it more)
Here are some examples.
This is the underpainting (see link for finished product)
